This situation dates back to November 30th when the solider was cleared from out-processing. Then was told he could not leave due court marshal. December 6th was the day the family was suppose to fly out. Instead, they were forced to live in lodging for 3 weeks before making a decision to fly to the states. Mind you, the lodging bill still needs to be paid because the military would not cover the expenses. The story is deeper and this is just a snap shot.

Please take a moment to read what the family is going through.

I have officially lost any respect I once held for the Army and its leaders (let's be real we all know they're not great to start of with) but there are good ones if that's you then disregard. They're real quick to hold others accountable while sweeping under the rug their own failures.

Disclosure: my spouse did recieve UCMJ for inappropriate relationship and no, this isn't me upset at his punishment I fully support holding people accountable.

My problem is this as brief as possible: We are a large family that was facing an international PCS move (moving duty stations). Alpha CO. of 194th DSSB in 2ID, camp Humphreys South Korea allowed for the soldier to entirely clear the post. Our family had our household goods shipped, our family car shipped, and had cleared housing. The day we cleared housing the unit tells the soldier he's not going anymore due to this UCMJ and his platoon SGT tells him "man I'm sorry they told me not to tell you" ... the units leadership failed the family. They left myself and all my kids homeless in another country and all our belongings were taken we were left with nothing. Not only this but the leadership failed to file extension paperwork on time that also hindered our family trying to get back into housing because "we already cleared post" and according to the papers we were leaving. We stayed as long as we could without getting any help and ultimately made the choice to go back to Buffalo, NY (my home of record) to try to recieve assistance from family and try to wait out this process.

At our 6 MONTHS mark of this ongoing event:

Our HHG is STILL being held in TX.

Our family car is STILL being held in TX.

They've cut our Tricare medical from Prime to Select.

My kids have unnecessarily been removed from their father and enduring emotional hardship all because of this units failure.

All of this is documented. (I have the paper trail of late paperwork submissions and everything proving they took there sweet ass time).

My kids cry randomly. My 5 yr told his father that he loves him but he's not talking to him right now because he doesn't understand why he couldn't stay with his Dada. My daughter cries every night because she wants her Dada even if I get her to sleep without crying she wakes up every night crying. My older kids are trying but they miss their friends, school, cub scouts, they're whole life was there and they were unnecessarily kicked out of Korea and forced into limbo were there just sitting here ... waiting.

Yes my spouse is fucked up for what he did and fully deserves his punishment. But the leadership is fucked up for just dropping a family with young kids on the street with no financial assistance, no housing, and NO RESPONSE when bringing up these concerns. 1Sgt basically deflected all claims as not her fault and passing blame onto higher leadership. Higher leadership is basically having a measuring contest and saying they can and they will do these things.

SOOOOO, this April for month of the Military Child where we honor and show appreciation and support for our military kids; I want to appreciate my kids and their hardships from being failed and left for dead by the 2nd Infantry Division Army who choose to command sponsor them (and the IFSTE when it was finally done still said command sponsored) but forced us to leave homeless and forgotten.

We did: an IG complaint, I personally reached out to COL Hightower, CSM Delarosa, 1SG Strachan, and even recently filed a military congressional complaint as we STILL recieve ZERO help. No leadership responded to me, no BAH, nothing.... and to be completely honest I just want to take these kids back to Korea so they can have their Dad. I even offered to pay I just need to know that we'd have housing and STILL nothing.

This is me making sure people know what's happening and how the military treats their families and kids.

My kids are brave, strong, can adapt and will be okay but resiliency has its limits. Mommy will always make sure they are taken care of regardless but just sad as a Veteran, a spouse, and someone whose been military connected for 19 years that I've officially lost all respect I had. I waited because I figured it would be fixed in time and there was no way they'd know and not do anything but it's been 6 MONTHS; I know it's not the whole military but enough people know and not a single person is doing anything. There is no end in sight for our current dilema but I just got tired of everyone asking when we'd be going to the next duty station so the answer is never, as my family is forced into purgatory.

Our children deserve better ... all children deserve better. Thank you to the leadership of 2ID on Camp Humphreys for nothing. Happy month of the military child to my children and all military children who endure more than the average child and even more when the military fails them.
