I know the waiting is painful, but patients everyone. My first EUC last year only took 4 1/2 months. :evil:

Now its down to a couple of weeks. It will get here when it gets here.

My first took about two weeks , now my second took 4 weeks Gl lost my faxes twice, I called today to recover an M101 and am told there might be a missprint and it is really an M105. The auction pictures were definately a M101 , now I'll print pics in the future. I guess i'll have to tell the wife I need a deuce cuz the M1008 can't pull the trailer.

found the M101 "good to go"

Hopefully pending paying uncle sam some hard earned tax money, I'll be able to update on the timeline on EUC number 2... But you'd think in the computer age this would take at a max three or four days, first , second or tenth EUC.

Well the wait is over sort of.... My EUC cleared and I got my paid in full invoice. Now I just have to figure out when I'm going to go recover it. My timeline goes as follows: Feb 20 Awarded Auction and faxed in EUC along with copy of DL; Feb 26 Had revisions and needed scanned copy of DL; Feb 27 EUC approved and sent off to Battle Creek; Mar 9 EUC cleared and got my paid in full invoice. Not bad. I checked my account about 20 times today. It has been driving me crazy. I'm so excited about be able to get it now. I'm going to print out the recovery list and go buy what I need and then my wife and I are off to get it. I'm thinking Thursday or Friday.

I'm sorry. I know the wait was sucking really bad for me. I guess because it is my first and I'm living the dream.

I am sucking on this end guys, my wait has not been long but my primary vehicle a 03 Dodge Durango started having problems after the cross-country PCS move from FT Benning, GA to FT Lewis Washington. After several mis-diagnosis (and wasted money $1200) I had it towed to the Dealership here in Tacoma, and they are in the middle of a partial rebuild ( another 3k) So the only transportation I have is a motorcycle which helps but the family is stranded pretty much. So yes this wait is horrible as I need a vehicle really bad and I have one sitting at the GL site here that I can't have yet.

Then there is the fear that something might go wrong with my EUC as it may just look wrong since I have a PA state driver's License with a Columbus, GA address on it. (this is legal as I am a PA resident claiming military out of state) and there is also the fact that my physical address is not the same as the DL address since I just moved up here a few weeks ago. I did include official PCS orders and my Mil ID in the packet along with a letter from the housing office on DOD letterhead that varifies my address on base, so perhaps that will help.

Ya know, it seems active military ought to get a break on this stuff. The whole process is to determine you are who you say, and they already know who the AD mil guys are.

KY.. Nuff said
I won mine around the same time and it is in the final processing at DRMS (past Battle Creek), but as of yet no word. This is my second EUC and I would bet that the processing differs with the GL person doing the processing:roll:

I think I will just stare at my truck for a few weeks when i get it:-D
