Here is the crazy part: EFMP office says there is nothing they can do at this point. Ft Wainwright doesn't have the neurology resources (BTW, neurology and neurosurgery at BAMC, Ft Sam said there is nothing they can do for him). He is not authorized travel to Alaska via military. He refuses to stay in Texas. We are on leave until 1 October when we head on up to Alaska. Everyone I have called and talked to either shame me thinking I am trying to get my orders deleted or tell me, "Alaska is still the U.S.... I don't understand what you're whining about." Do I even know what I'm trying to ask here? Not really.... Everything will eventually be ok, right?

We had this happen in a situation where the SM reenlisted for Alaska and received their denial enroute.
Return to your previous duty station. You have not checked into Alaska and so you have not been arrived in your new unit. Return to your old unit, have them re-arrive you. Work with branch for the EFMP deletion. Don't go to reception, you would need orders to inprocess. Simply have your unit arrive you in emilpo. Immediately send up your deletion.
It's going to be a big hassle and half the people will tell you it can't be done. Contact me if you need more help.

She might not either, but her S1 section will, and that's who the advice is really geared toward.

Thank you. There have been so many times, while in the performance of my duties that I look around and can't believe I'm getting a paycheck for what I do and then there are times like this where I think, "I'm not getting paid enough for this." My S1 (TRADOC) was notified of this last week, 48 hours after we found out about the situation. My husband has a sun allergy (no kidding, it is real) which causes him to develop crazy welts that he scratches open. He has radiculopathy and sleep apnea, two conditions that I also have, that are the reason he cannot go to Alaska, but I can and can deploy from. I'm so frustrated with certain regulations and neither of us want to go back to Texas, but he keeps saying, "this is your career and I am with you no matter what." Just over 6 years to go and I'm thinking I want to get into the type of politics that actually change regulations that I think are silly.....

The other issue, we just traveled 1500 miles to his dad's house. We are here on leave until we have to catch the ferry to Alaska... the what-ifs are killing me!!!!

There's no what if in your situation. Return to your home base. You still belong to your old unit until you get to to your new one

Why don't they reroute you to JBER? They might have the services you are needing and the temperature isn't as drastic as Fairbanks.

Supposedly there are NO neurology-type services available ANYWHERE in Alaska and that is why he was denied command sponsorship
