**** Disclaimer... if you don't want to read complainin' don't read this*******

When you are personally handling a complaint/problem for someone, you call them. If I leave a message for you, you call back - you don't let ME get back to you. However, this is the problem with the government. THEY DON'T CARE. There is no "customer satisfaction guarantee" You got beef, they dish it back. They don't care how many people they help in a day... or even if they help ANYONE. Sad story is: members of the military give their LIVES to protecting freedom. In one form or another, if you make the military a career, you are giving your life for your country. A life without being at choir concerts, birthday parties, anniversaries, school graduations, church talks, missing potty training and first steps, teeth, etc. They miss a lot of it. Not every single one, but most. Instead of enjoying what most of us consider (and I guarantee you - the people who work at the government buildings (aka DMV) always get to participate in) LIFE, they are serving everyone. That is just as true of military families. They sacrifice just about everything to support their loved one in serving our country. You may think... poor soldier, sailor, etc. No.... poor families as well! To think my family is serving EVERYONE...including the ungrateful, going to treat you like crud because I don't care citizens (aka government employees). Basically, the government doesn't support itself! Only in America.

So, I have exactly 10 days to get my new registration in the mail. I have been working on this for OVER a month. 1) tried getting my registration renewal from the people who moved into our old place.... check 2) sent in the information after calling DMV about changing my address...check 3) got it sent back to me requesting more info (like the IKE stamp all over the paperwork wasn't enough proof he was military).... check 4)drive up to PA to redo my inspection, call them again - assured that indeed they do not need the additional info to process.... just send it in how it is... check 5) get it back AGAIN (this time with NO returned check) requesting more info..... check 6)Asked to fax information.... check 7) say they didn't receive information (after I called them TWICE to catch the lady in her office - she didn't return my previous call) 7) OVERNIGHT the crap (at $16)and after filling out two different envelopes with ALL three of my children in tow, of course with my mobile two causing a stir and virtually bringing me to tears.... check



BETTER GET MY STINKIN STICKER AND REGISTRATION CARD BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH!!!!
YOU THINK I WANT A REFUND!?? STINK YEAH! (for a $36 registration, I have now paid over 50, plus stress and hassle) should be free as far as I'm concerned!
Again.... there are no "thanks" for the military - just more manure you have to drag them through to make YOU feel better. You really want to thank us? Give us a couple grand, because the government sure isn't!


Oh... and just you wait... you OBAMACARE lovers, you'll see just what I mean if this mess of a system is actually put into effect.
