Our neighbors were telling us how they were happy to be home from their Santa Barbara trip after extended 2 days from delays/cancellations.

I thought I was relating when I told them about having gone through customs in Romania and waiting in a hangar for hours to make the last leg home from a year in Afghanistan and then was delayed 2 days in the last hour before boarding and how that sucked. Felt odd.

Walking back, my partner said, you went full veteran there.

When will I be normal?!

I feel the pain. The army forgot to order our flight home after getting to the logistics base - we spent an extra 10 days sitting around and pushed us over the 12mo mark. So at least there was extra compensation I guess.

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
