The Day the Air Force FAILED My Family
I have three specific reasons in sharing my story with you. First, to prevent this from happening to other military families that may read it before they PCS overseas.

Third, at the time of my publishing this post (six months after our move) we STILL have not been re-imbursed the $5,352.40 for our airline tickets.
