Hurry up and wait

This has to be the Army motto. Unwritten, unsaid but a very constant everyday occurence for almost every military family I know. Very recently I was told hey schedules changed I will be home sooner on R and R. Ok! Cool...not by much but several days. Then guess what........oops. Stop.... Hold up. Delays and sitting in unknown places on hold pushing back the schedule to the original it not later schedule. Oh the Army got to love it at times.
Then also his troop movement from a FOB to a Patrol Base happened not too long ago....for what we are told will be the rest of the time. To hear a few weeks later, guess what we are going back to from whence we came. What in the world? Can't the Army make up their minds? Driving me nuts with suspense.
