Military Wife Confessions

How long does it take to get accepted? My husband turned in all our paperwork and from what he was told the packet was on the Cornels(idk how to spell lol) desk! I don't know what that means, but I want to know how long it takes for people to sign and accept our command sponsorship....

Depends on your husband's unit. It took us 6 months to get mine done!  BUT my husband's unit is known for being slow on paperwork, loosing things, and not telling you the right info in the first place so thats why it took us so long.

Like Sheila said, It just depends on the unit. It could be as little as week to months. Ours took a couple months because they weren't working with us very well.

Well that sucks I hope it doesnt take months.....if it doesnt get back today, then we have to leave my stuff at my parents house and get a temporaary power of attorney so that they can sign for the stuff when the movers do come. Now as far as reimbursment....since we paid out of pocket will they reimburse us for the airfare? And will they backpay us for COLA? We already have BAH and a house, but no COLA yet....

With you not technically living there yet... I'm not sure that they'll give you full COLA.  My husband and I were married for like 2 and a half months before I got to come out to Hawaii and they gave him COLA for where I was in Arkansas.  Not Hawaii. So it was a LOT less.

Ours actually went through pretty quick if that is at all encouraging. It took a couple of weeks, but that was only because it was submitted right before the xmas break. I think it would have taken less than a week if it had been at a different time.
