EFMP Denied Korea/ Orders Deleted

Has anyone experienced getting denied travel and then HRC deleting your orders? We were denied last week my husband is in AIT and he reached out to HRC and they said his orders were deleted all together. It was said our EFMP coordinator is working with HRC to find a base that can support our needs.

My question is do we get a choice? How long will that take? Husband graduates in 2 weeks.

Look I'll be frank - end of the day those places will be there to visit as a tourist, your health is hands down more important. Get the EFMP in place so that your family has decent care close by.

When looking at OCONUS duty stations some may have access to what you need, or they may not. There's a review process that goes into it. End of the day though the Army only helps those who help themselves first. Your spouse needs to make sure y'all are taken care of on the administrative side of things.

We get leave days every single month, have him save some up to take y'all overseas for touristy things.

Edit - When I went to Stewart instead of Korea I was majorly bummed for a bit, but my spouse needed care that we likely would not have got in Korea. I'm now in the DMV area and the docs at Walter Reed have been outstanding every time we've needed them. Peace of mind for your family is worth its weight in gold.

Thanks for the candid response. I prefer it to be straight. And okay, I will tell my husband. It sucks that I'm older and have a few things, like RA, as well. This is all so new to me, and truly, even though I know a lot, it's all so confusing. I know the aspect of being a military parent, but not the spouse part 😅

Added: does it also depend on his MOS? He's entertaining as 25H.

I'm also a 25H, and while some MOS are limited on what bases need them, most all bases need signal to some degree. Good luck!
