Issues with leaving Fort Meade.

So for quite a while we have been trying to find out what will be happening with Skyeler and him going to airborne. His Sergeants at Fort Meade would say one thing and then his unit in Utah would say another thing and it got us quite confused on what was going to be happening. At one point it was possible for him to graduate early so he could make it to the last cycle, but it didn't work out. Then his Sergeant in Utah said that he needed to make sure he had orders for airborne and all he has was a reservation for the first class in January. This is not what was wanted by the Utah sergeant.  
The week of Graduation there was a main water line breakage at the MILPO building where all the reserve/national guard soldiers were supposed to go as part of their out processing so they could be cut off from the "BIG army". So since they were unable to go and get those papers signed and they were just going to mail them to him Skyeler was never cut off from being paid. (This is important)
SO Sky was mostly able to get his out-processing done but there was still this question about airborne. Skyeler needed to talk to his platoon sergeant and guess what he was on leave from Thanksgiving and wasn't available and Skyeler has to go through chain of command and he can't talk to any other platoon sergeant about issues like that. Time is getting closer and closer to us leaving and we still didn't have any answers. Sky had tried to talk to people but didn’t have any luck.
Thursday morning we were scheduled to get out of our house and then go pick up my medical records from Walter Reed and then head out. Or so our plan was… We still didn’t have answers on what was going to be happening and Skyeler was still getting different stories. So before we left for Walter Reed and home we felt it was needed to go to the detachment and see if and talk to Sergeant A.G. (Skyelers platoon sergeant). Sergeant A.G. was there and we were able to get him to talk to Skyeler’s other Sergeant because of the different stories we were getting. Long story short Fort Meade didn’t want him because he was done with training and thought that it was the national guards responsibility to do that but the Sergeant in Utah said it was the Army’s responsibility because it was in his orders to begin with and that Sky would be no use to them until he is airborne trained. Plus it was mentioned that the National Guard didn’t have the funding to send him.  Well Sergeant A.G. told us that we could go ahead and go get my records and head out and that they would figure it out. So off we go to Bethesda to get my records and that is a 45 min -1 hr. trip from Fort Meade. So we get there and I got my records and by the time I got back to Skyeler he had a few phone calls saying basically we were NOT allowed to leave and that he would have to stay at the detachment… WHAT!!!! We are no longer in a house and my dad didn’t come out because we were planning on having Skyeler drive me out. So long story short we had to go back to Fort Meade to figure this entire thing out.  It was getting frustrating and we were very unsure on what was going to be happening. So as I was talking to dad about our frustration and postponement on leaving they were able to find that Skyeler had earned 25 days of PTO and that what was going to have happen is that Skyeler is still part of the army and the detachment (good thing he didn’t sign those papers and that the building flooded) so he will be getting paid until he finishes airborne, BUT he will be having to take those leave days to drive me home and get somewhat situated just for him to fly back to Fort Meade on the 12^th of Dec then fly home again for Christmas break, then fly back again to Fort Meade on Jan 4^th so he can be flown to Fort Benning for airborne. What a hassle and a headache. But that is what had to happen in order for Skyeler to be able to drive home with me since we were ALL READY to go. If not Sky would have had to stay at the detachment and I would have had to wait for Dad to fly out.
So we got a very late start on our trip home but I am glad that we didn’t have any other problems or issues for the rest of the trip. I am also glad that Skyeler will be getting paid for Dec and Jan even though we have 3 or so airline tickets to purchase.
