Ok, I'm going to start off saying that I know I "signed up" for all this crap when I first got involved with my FI... but right now, I'm seriously annoyed. My family has been planning a trip to Disney World for almost 2 years now, and when I say family, I mean aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. (20-something people so far). FI told me in January that he should be able to go with us, which made me ridiculously happy. He's only met my extended family like once, and I was so excited to have him actually be able to get to know the people I love so much.
Then guess what happens... ONE DAY before our final payment is due, he gets informed that because the half of their squadron that is currently deployed is supposed to be coming in around the time of our trip, the rest of them aren't allowed to take leave during that period. Ok, fine, whatever. I don't like it, but I remember what it feels like to be the ones waiting on your loved ones to come home so I can let it go. But tonight, I just found out (not even a week after hearing that he couldn't go on the trip) that his squadron wants to send him to Fleet Week.
How the HECK do they justify not letting him take leave during that time because "they need everyone who won't be on post-deployment leave there to work" but they can let him go to NY during the same time frame? Ugh. Sometimes I seriously think the Marine Corps hates me... any time I actually plan something with FI, they do something to ruin it (working weekends, not granting leave, etc.). It's just frustrating.
