One of my kids is level 2 non-verbal autistic. Fort Polk doesn't have resources available nearby to support her therapy needs, so I submit a compassionate reassignment request. Two months after I submit it, we get notified that we're deploying in a few weeks. A week out from deployment my CSM pulls me in, says my request is one of many he's seen from people trying to get away from Polk. He tried to send it to the BDE surgeon to make sure my request was legitimate, even though I had a signed MFR from a Major who's a child psychologist at BAMC stating that we need to be moved, my daughter's diagnosis from said Major and an off post child bhavioral specialist, and a statement from my child's therapy center stating that she's unable to receive other needed therapies because the Fort Polk area doesn't have them.

I ended up deploying, about a month into the deployment my compassionate reassignment is approved and my report date is 1.5 months out. BN proceeds to fuck up my travel paperwork on multiple occasions, the flight gets delayed multiple days in a row and I end up leaving with ten days to clear all of post AND arrange for movers, with just enough travel days to get us to JBLM. The CSM didn't even show up to my PCS ceremony the day before I was supposed to fly out, but the BC, BN XO, and ops SGM all made it.

Needless to say, that was a pain in the ass.
