My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Feeling very let down by the system

The Rmps came today for a informal chat and they came fully expecting us to rollover and take the blame for the actions that J had been acused of. However what they got was us informing them of all the problems and how J had been victimised. They are coming back at a later date after they have gathered more evidence to get statements of V and myself over what has been happening. All the information will be given to V's Commanding Officer and he will make a decison based on what he feels is right. so if he is in a bad mood V could get a black mark against his name and we could be in effect thrown out of the country which will affect our chances of getting to oz. However he may decide that there is not enough evidence to apportion blame on us and a warning is put on his record. so either way this whole nightmare is very upsetting.

We had to turn down the house they offered as it was way too small, we would have to sell most of our furniture to live in it. So how can we do that. So for now we are stuck where we are.

I spent most of last night tossing and turning. The Welfare SGT now knows just how upset this whole ordeal is as despite my best efforts i broke down when i talked of the accustions against my self for verbal abuse. The police woman apologised and i think understood just how this is all effects the family. We have also informed the RMP that we are seeking legal advice regarding what we believe is slander from the Welsh woman across the road from us. I just hope this nightmare is over soon.

Ive informed my tutor what has been happening and how im struggling to get my  head sorted for this assignment. I will do the best i can but im sure had i not had all this crap going on then i would be getting better grades.

Im longing for this to be all over and for us to living a new life in oz. That at the moment is the only thing keeping me going. I just hope it doesn't get snatched away.

I so feel for you. Bummer about the house. It would have done you all so much good to get away from these people. I hope the CO throws the whole thing out. It seems terribly unfair for a black mark to be put on Vs record just because of something his son has been accused of but not been found guilty. Justice huh?

Look after yourself hon.

The Army system is so bloody outdated!!! When you see scum get away with so much, yet decent families are left to struggle against the rank/class system and get black marks against them!! If V had been a WO or Officer I bet this would have been sorted out way before now. Have you been to see the Chaplain??

You guys are really going through the ringer at the moment

Lets hope that the truth prevails in this instance. Glad you spoke to your tutor, you could do with some support instead of pressure. How's your doggy by the way?
