It Gets Better... (See Previous Post)

OK, yesterday was quite the experience; military moves are renowned for last-minute itinerary overhauls. But today takes the cake. I mean, do you remember what SNAFU stands for? How about FUBAR? This was truly a FUBAR! We stayed overnight in Barstow, tasked with traveling the 42 miles out to Fort Irwin in the afternoon, pick up troops, and deposit them at Ontario (CA) airport. Simple enough. Then deadhead home to San Diego. We arrive 1.5 hours early at Irwin. No troops. Nobody to help. Our dispatcher is working the problem from her end. Finally come to find out the soldier who typed up the transportation order REVERSED the pickup/destination! Meaning, we were about to be overdue for our pickup 3 hours' drive away! No resources available in the LA area to cover for this screw-up, either. So, we battled the TONS of traffic returning to LA at the end of the weekend, pick up up our personnel, and haul ass to Fort Irwin. Now, I'm back in my motel room, an additional night having become necessary by the circumstances. This experience shatters all previous military Snafus........
