He stil is NOT home!!! WARNING RANT

Sorry for another round of venting! I am about to LOSE it here! Hubby is STILL stuck at Ramstein Air Force Base.  I got a call yesterday saying they fixed the nose of the plane. So they were suppose to arrive back here at New River at 12 noon TODAY.   I got a call late last night at 11:00 pm.  I was happy and excited that my hubby was FINALLY coming home!! When the phone rang I thought it was going to be the news they were getting on that piece of **** plane.  Guess what?? Another F****** part BROKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I started crying, I cant take much more of this!!!  Now it is the compressor part that kicks off when the plane descends.  I cannot BELIEVE the Air Force does not have these damn parts in stock!!!  Since I used to be active duty I know there is no way in hell you can just fly the troops home and leave the birds and gear on the plane.  So for all of you that have asked if that is a option the answer is a big no no    they are stuc****il the Air Force unscrews its piece of crap plane.  When the newest problem arised, the CO asked if they could PLEASE unload the gear and move to another C5. Guess what? LOL the last empty  C5 left yesterday

The new *problem* will take another entire day of waiting plus 16 hours for the mechanics to fix it.  I am sure something else is going to break down.  Hubby says they are in a special area on base called *Deployment processing* that means they are NOT allowed to go out in town and walk around, shop, have a beer, eat ect.  They are stuck in that crappy  Warehouse with nothing to do bu****ch movies and play Xbox, read and sleep.  I would also love to tell you all how our Government is hard at work making the smokers miserable (hubby included, he smokes) hubby went to buy a pack of smokes and the guy working at the store said *where is your tobacco chit?*     hubby explained they are Marines passing through (maybe permanent residence at the rate this is going) and he did not know what a *tobacco chit* was.  The guy put up a HUGE fit and almost didnt sell hubby a pack of smokes because he didnt have the chit.  This is because our lovely government  sells the cigarettes and they think the military are going to buy them up and sell them out in town and make money off of them and our government would be losing out on taxes from the resale LMAO

Thank you to all of you who have listened and supported through this ordeal.  When I was on active duty stuff like this would happen on almost every deployement we did.  I do not know why I expected anything different.  The rear party that was still in Africa who were scheduled to arrive 2 weeks after hubby is now safe and sound at Cherry Point.  I have been invited to come to their homecoming this afternoon but I just cannot take being around that scene today.  I KNOW it is part of the military, I know the rules, I just want my hubby home!!!  I will see you all at Logans tonight.......... I might just have a few Roadhouse Teas

There is nothing I can say to comfort you, but I just could not read and not respond. I can just imagine when you two finally  get together-Oh the fireworks!!!!!!

Rant all you want. I would be absolutely insane by now too. It totally sucks. But, the rest of us are going to enjoy seeing you tonight. If hubby had come home we would have missed your sassy self.

(((((Darcie)))))),

I wish that there was something I could say or do that would ease your pain and frustration. I know that there isn't, but I also want you to know that I hear you, I care and I hope he'll be home safe and sound soon.

Hey Darcie,
Sorry I havent posted before now but we were outta town this weekend. I hate to hear about all the trouble they are having just trying to get home.I am sure when your hubby finally gets home though you will forget all about the waiting. I guess we can count on you not posting for awhile, I feel like you will be "busy" LOL... Hope he gets home soon!See you tonight

I wish I could make this better. But the only thing that will is your hubby getting off the plane and coming home with you. I really know it will happen but am clueless as to when as you are. This goes to show that not only are the soldiers doing their part to keep us safe but so are the families that have to wait endlessly for them to come home. I am so sorry you have to go through this yet a few more days.

Oh My Darcie,
I have been following your post and hanging on every word you write.
My heart goes out to you.
Like Debbi said once hubby gets home lots of fireworks going off.
Maybe you should tie him up and dare him to leave the house. LOL
Hang in there Darcie you are in my thoughts.

Our tax money at work for our finest!  I love our Military but really hate when this type of crap happens..  Then they have to be stuck in Deployment processing like they're some type of "flight risk"... pun intended... lol!  Anyway, I hope he gets home with no more delays girl, I know you're ready to yank someone's head off for all this. 

See ya tonight!  I think I may just buy you a RoadhouseTea... lol!

Sheryl~
I am soooo glad that you are getting to come tonight!!! and dont tempt me with the tea... because I WILL drink it!!! LOL

hugs
Darcie

Oh Darcie.  I wish there was something ANY of us could do.  The Air Force moves at it's own pace!  Is this any way to run a war?

I'm surprised your hubby didn't chew someone's head off over the cigarettes.  After being delayed for all those many days and then possibly having to go without his nicotine!?!  Thank heaven he was able to get some. 

Enjoy yourself tonight.  Let your hair down.  Have a few drinks, get a DD to get you home, and forget all your cares for a few hours.

Your hubby WILL get home!!  You WILL enjoy catching up.  You WILL laugh about this later (probably in 10 or 15 years).  You KNOW it will probably happen again!
