i am trying to find out the lieutenant colnels email address over my husbands unit, how do i go about getting?

Question

i am pretty dissapointed in the service and lack of consideration that i have been shown, were trying to get my husband moved off post with me, and had an appointment with a seargent scheduled at 10:30. i waited in the car for over an hour in front of a building to be told that they have put all off post packets on hold- because two soldiers were irresponsible. information that the seargents should have known to prevent wasting a LOT of my time. basically because someone is lazy and doesnt want to do their job. i only think its fair that if i do my part , drive the 20 minutes onto post, and make sure i am on time, that they show me the respect of letting me know this stuff rather than make me wait. for nothing!

Answer 1

I answered your other question worded differently, yet still have the same answer:

* Take a deep breath and calm down. You're going to flag yourself as a "problem spouse" if you don't.

* The FRG leader cannot help you. Only your husband can handle this. Trust everyone here when they say that you will make absolutely NO headway by trying to change things.

* The SGT may very well have not known, if the truth is as you tell it. Not everyone is out to get you or annoy you by being lazy and stupid. If this alleged incident just happened, then word may not have been disseminated yet.

* Finally, if you're dead set on contacting your husband's LTC, go ahead. I guarantee you will embarass yourself and even worse, your husband.

Answer 2

If you're going to be a successful military wife, you'd better get used to "hurry up and wait." Waiting over an hour for nothing IS nothing, believe me.

And don't go to the LTC. Like has already been said, you'll get your husband into a bunch of trouble and won't accomplish a thing.

Go to your Family Readiness Group (Army term) for advice on developing mental fortitude. If you can't handle this, how are you going to handle it when he goes to Iraq? (They're called Key Volunteer in the Marine Corps.)

I'm not trying to be mean, just giving a little "tough love."

Answer 3

Not to be rude or ugly, but you emailing the Lt Col will not do a bit of good. He probably wll not even respond to it. THere is a thing called a chain of command. You go up it a step at a time, but you are not even involved in that chain as you are the spouse not the soldier. I know how frustrating it can be to deal with issues like this, as i am a military wife myself, but you just have to suck it up and drive on as they say. I agree with a previous poster who said they will not hold a married man on post unless some other issues are involved. GOod luck to you!

Answer 4

I hope you are not trying to cry about something to a Lieutenant colnel. That really don't look good for your husband, and it only make you look like a trouble wife. if your husband is having problems with his unit, let him solve his problem. I have been a military wife for 20 years, and would never ever call his commander for anything. if your husband likes his career, I think you better stay out of it. if your are having problems go to the family support group or something, I don't know if you are a new wife, but you will ruin your husband career if you make that move believe me, you are a spouse, not a soldier, I have never got into my husband business at work because it does not have nothing to do with me, because we are civilans, If you like getting FREE medical, PX, Etc. I'd advise you not to call his commander. MAYBE YOUR HUSBAND IS NOT BEING HONEST WITH YOU ON WHY HE CAN'T MOVE WITH HIS WIFE, AGAIN I SAY YOU ARE A NEW WIFE TO THE MILITARY, STAY AWAY FROM YOUR HUSBAND JOB, IT'S WIFES LIKE YOU THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU CAUSE TROUBLE FOR YOUR SPOUSES YOUR SPOUSES WILL NEVER GET PROMOTED, HE WILL PROBABLY GET ON DEPLOYMENTS WITHOUT YOU, BELIEVE ME, MY HUSBAND IS SEARGANT MAJOR IN THE ARMY, I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. THEY DO NOT LIKE WIFES WHO CRY ABOUT EVERY LITTLE THING, AGAIN I THINK YOUR HUSBAND MIGHT NOT BE TELLING YOU THE TRUTH, THEY USALLY DON'T HOLD A MARRIED MAN IN THE BARRACKS UNLESS HE HAS REALLY DID SOMETHING WRONG. SO BEFORE YOU GO MARCHING IN THERE, THINK ABOUT IT, AND BELIEVE ME, THEY HAVE MORE PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH THAN YOU,

Answer 5

There has to be more to just those two getting to trouble.......If thats why they have put ahold on things. Where is your husband staying? There should be no reason why he cant stay with you unless he does not go to work on time and all that i could see why he should stay on post but I dont know your details on that well let me know how things are going...

Answer 6

it will do MUCH more harm than good if you try and contact the LTCol yourself. your spouse will get into a lot of trouble for it. as civilians, if you have an issue that needs addressing, we have to go through the appointed civilian liason. For Navy, it is Called the Ombudsman. I believe the Army calls it a Key Volunteer? anywho.. it sounds as if your spouse is currently in school. Welp, if one person in his classroom screwed up, everybody gets punished for it. They do NOT have to explain their actions or reasonings to us, and our spouses have to accept them. being allowed to live off base during schooling is a privieldge, and it can be taken away or denied.. with no explanation.

Answer 7

If you're wanting to gripe about something, try going through your Family Resource Group (FRG). The spouses can help you, or at least listen to you.
