I can't fugging believe it! I just got orders to Travis. I am currently at Kadena, and my wife is having medical problems. We were put on EFMP a couple of weeks ago and I just got an email saying that my DEROS has been curtailed to 20 May and I must report to Travis by 30 June. My gut is in a giant knot right now. I have a safe full of AK's, FAL's, AR's, a 1919 and just about any EBR you can think of sitting nice and legally in a safe in the free state of UT. Am I screwed, and relegated to storing my property out of state or are there special dispensations for GI's? Anyone that has any experience or insight they can share is more than welcome to pitch in. Feel free to email or PM me, but it might be better to post to the thread so that others might use the knowledge in the future.
The upside is that I can see retirement in the distance, so I will only be stuck in hell for a couple of years. What chaps my ass is that I am a CA resident and I will have pay state taxes to the liberal buttholes. I was happy when I was tax exempt yet still have a voice to offset some liberal SoB with vote, but now they get their pound of flesh back. Not to mention that I hate Fairfield and don't have a clue how I will afford housing. An apartment is gonna suck with a wife and 3 kids! I can't do it. If I have to go broke renting or buying a house, I will just have to eat ramen until I retire!
Thanks for tolerating the rant.
