We are supose to have between 4-7 months before we leave, but my husband hasn't gotten his copy of orders with the 'report no later than' date on it. We had been going off base for vet care because on base is SOOO hard to get an appointment(they only have like 2 vets and they only work 3 days a week from what I've seen) but they are suppose to have all the overseas paperwork and things for us. Our dogs don't have microchips, and I've been reading that they have to have them BEFORE the rabies vaccine is given, so I'm in a race to try to get them implanted with one asap. Maybe it would be possible for my mom to keep the dogs for a few weeks and then ship them to us instead of having them in quarinten over there. Not sure how that would work... I still have to find out if the Navy will pay to ship them sence they are considered "property". We going to sell all of our furnature, electronics, appliances, and only keep sentimental things, and the kids favorite toys. So they will be saving alot of money on moving us already. My husband doesn't get how much work this is going to be. He keeps saying "They are going to make sure we have time to get everything done..." *Sigh* I think I'm going to turn this job over to him and see how long it takes for him to complain!
