My husband is in the army, and currently at Ft. Dix, NJ doing training. We barely got warning to do anything before he left, so we never got a chance to get me a military ID. We also didn’t get certain papers we needed, like the creditors letter so that the car payments interest rate drops while he’s away. I’ve tried to contact his armory where he was and they can’t help me, I have no clue how to get this stuff. I need to get this stuff soon though! Anyone have any ideas?

I dunno, he did paper work before saying I was his power of attorney, and that I could sign and do everything for him, since he wasn't around. He had mentioned to me all I need is certain paperwork. It's just getting those that's the problem. I have his orders, that's all this armory where he was stationed could give me, well all they could find!

Yes. You need a Power of attorney. It is done free at the law offices. Your husband may still be able to get you one while he is away. You should always have a power-of-attorney up-to date
( they usually are good for 2 years) if you are an army wife. You never know when you are going to need it to do something that requires your husband's signature.
With the power-of-attorney you can go to the ID office and have an ID made. Do not forget to bring your SS card, marriage cert, and a copy of your husband's current orders with you.
The law offices can help you get your interest rate lowered (soldiers & sailors act) just bring them your loan/credit card statements and a copy of your husband's orders and power of attorney.
Take a deep breath! We've all been there.
Find out who your "rear-d" contact is for your husband's company. Rear Delta company is the company attached to your husbands unit that takes care of the families while there is a deployment. There is nothing that they can't help you with.
Dont be afraid to go to them. That is why they are there. If you dont know where to go to find the law offices on your post then go to ACS (army community service) and they will help you find anything/anyones phone number.
Do you know who your FRG (family readiness group) leader is?
The FRG leader is usually experianced and willing to help. That is her job. He/She keeps the families readyand informed. ACS will help you get the FRG's phone number.

Do you have a power of attorney? If so you need to send it to the creditors so that you can deal with them in your husband's absence, then you need to send his orders to the creditors. Also, you need to see if you can perhaps get to ACS, talk to his commander, or perhaps the base chaplain. They should be able to steer you in the right direction. You should always have a power of attorny on hand, because you may never know when he is going to be deployed or sent TDY. That one document will help you tremendously. I am assuming you are newly weds, even if you are getting that ID should have been the first thing you did. Hope this helps and good luck.

I am assuming he was either IRR or reserves and got called up? He needs to provide you with a POA, probably several.. a general one plus a few specific ones as many entitities(particularly banks and whatnot) will only accept a specific POA. Do keep in mind that NO ONE is obligated to accept any kind of POA.
Unfortunately, YOU cannot do or get anything, he has to do it all.

bust out your POA and get on the phone and start faxing. If his unit won't help go over there head, XO, Chaplin,rear D, call the company -car payments etc. To get your I.D card go to the closest base w/ your drivers license should let you on if you have DOD tags and take marriage license, orders, and photo I.D with you, you shouldn't have a problem. you can even do it w/ birth cert.

If you watch only one conspiracy documentary ever, make it this one. This just might be the best introductory video out there. Understand that every claim made in this is fact, not opinion, no matter how wild it sounds. It's all easily verifiable through mainstream news archives and public documents.
