Miserable Moving with the Military

Traveling military is often unpredictable, at times inefficient, and usually slower than you'd like. I knew all this well, but nothing prepared me for our journey home this past summer.
In June we moved from Greece, where my husband was working, back to America. He works for the U.S. Department of Defense, and because of that our family moves every few years. But this time was by far the most arduous — and the most ridiculous. In short, it was terrible. That's because for this move we "traveled military," flying from our Greek base to the base in Norfolk, Virginia on a government-contracted airline used by the Department of Defense to transport folks like us.
