To Whom it may Concern,

I am writing this today to explain the position that the US Navy is putting me and my spouse, Robert Tringale, in. Robert and I have been in a relationship since before either us were 18 years old and we met playing video games online. When Robert told me that he was wanting to join the military I did my best to be as supportive as possible and he did his best to support me while he completed his service. As it stands now I could now have the life that I do without Robert as he is the breadwinner of the house while I am in school preparing to go to Law School.

In September of this year Robert and I officially got married as he learned that he may be eligible to get some extra help from the military for me in terms of Spousal Support. When this process was completed we were told "Expect the first payment in November" and that because I am living in San Diego it would be an amount to nearly cover the rent on my place! We were ecstatic and made plans. Then, because of an issue in the paperwork requirements the payment would have to be moved back to December. We had been managing in our old residence before so we could dip into savings. Then due to a change in duties Robert was suddenly going to be leaving the military on the 13th of December.
After that Decision was made the following plan was put into motion: Robert and I were going to live together for the first time in our lives. Without a job from either us and only our savings we thought it best to move to where I am from in Iowa.  The end was in sight, I cancelled my next semester of college and after the 17th when I finish my final examinations for my college in California I am taking a plane to Iowa. I have completely rearranged my life based on this expectation. I can't re-enroll in classes at this point I dont have my house stocked for food because I am expecting to be leaving int he next few weeks. I am longing to see the man I have been waiting for years to be able to start to build our Life Together. However, everything  in this paragraph has been about me and doenst really account for the Time and Money we have spent setting up Robert to leave the service.

Robert and I made real financial commitments because of his expected separation date on the 13th that we have no way to recoup. Robert is expected to fly home to Florida by the 18th and pack his belongings, this was supposed to be paid for by the military. then on the 19th a Moving Company (PODS) is to transport Roberts possessions from storage to our new address in Iowa, then Robert was to take a plane from Florida to Iowa. We already have paid for 2 plane tickets and a moving company and reviewing the separate tickets it looks like we are unable to request a refund from United (https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/reservations/refunds/24-hour-booking-policy.html ) nor from Frontier (https://www.flyfrontier.com/legal/ticket-terms-and-conditions/ )  and it looks like our movers are going to keep our Deposit of several hundred dollars (https://help.pods.com/Pricing-Billing/2962409/If-I-cancel-do-I-get-my-money-back.htm ) . So we are looking to be out thousands of dollars from what I am being told amounts to a "Administrative Error".
