chapter/meb unit is being assholes?

Question

My husband got his meb orders cut on nov 8 and got his chapter 14 read to him on nov 25 but since he already had orders for his meb shouldnt he still get out with those orders. his unit told us his final out date was dec 7th so we told our landlord and now they are pushing for the chapter and he isnt getting out on the 7th and the landlord already rented our apartment to someone starting on the 12th. so now we have no where to live in 2 days and the housing list here has a wait for 24-26 monts for his rank. and he cant get an aer loan becuase he is pending discharge. what do we do? we have a 6 month old daughter too we cant jsut liveo n the street and his unti doesnt seem interested in trying ot help us out.

Answer 1

First, you shouldn't have given notice until everything was finalized. From the time you've spent in the Army, you should have known that. In fact, you hubby was probably told that. He wouldn't be leaving the same day as his final out anyways.

However, since you did give notice and the place is rented, the poster above me is correct. You need to get a room at the Guest House on post or billeting. It's like a hotel and there is a fee though. It's not as much as a hotel in town. Be sure to keep all your papers and file your paperwork right away. If you can't afford it, try to get an advance on your travel. Last I knew, they still paid for the final move and expenses.

Good luck!!

Answer 2

Go to billeting, they should have rooms for personel getting ready to PCS/Discharge. Not sure what the Chapter 14 is, but I was MEB last year. If its the same as mine, was seperated not retired, you still have rights to the base and all facilities for 180 days i believe. Since you have orders billeting should put you up for at least as long as needed. Just remeber you will have to pay for it. But once you relocate you can file your travel voucher.

hope that helps
