I was Able to begin searching for quarters. After a couple weeks of searching i found a place suitable for me and my family. With the proper paper work in hand i reported to family housing on dec 12. The clerk called 1st per com the information that per com requested was relayed to them Over the phone. The clerk explained to me that this was a new system and that it was going to be better than the old on gelling the information to lit per com i though great after some setbacks on getting sinned looking for a House in will not be Long now. Boy was Ever wrong. After waiting about 10 Days and not hearing any thing from my wife 1 gave her a Call to set if she had heard anything nothing so on dec. 22,1 went Back to family housing where again the clerk called 1st per com they i guess checked my records and told the clerk that the twin was sent out on dec. If. They said that they allow 10 Days for the twin to reach the destination. That is fort Hood in my Case. Ten Days is a Long time it seems in should be 10 Hourt. The mail system works in less than 10 Days Well my wife received her Telegram on Jan. 5. Then fort Hood said in would be five Days before they received notification. Then they said it will be a few More Days until orders Are Cut and everything is mailed to my wife who is three hours from fort Hood. Then my wife had to arrange for transportation Here.
