It does not say the same one as in a "apartment" i.e. one you do not have to check out of when you go out on a trip. He told me Dave Webb says the company will provide you a hotel room that you do not have to check out of for the entire SVT assignment so you family can stay the whole time. I told him if this is correct that makes this better from my view but could we get the intent it in writing? He indicated we just need to trust the people in the know? I emailed him and said if things are as they say why can't they put out the information? I tend not to trust people who say just trust me! My question is if we do get the same hotel room for the whole SVT assignment does this change things as far as the SVT section?
Also, guys do we trust them?
I care less about the hotels and more about the TDY itself. NO WAY IN HELL DO I WANT TO BE SENT ANYWHERE INVOLUNTARILY, LET ALONE HKG OR CDG FOR THREE MONTHS.
How many marriages do you think would survive this? "Oh hi honey, I know Christmas is next week, the kids have school plays and you're swamped at work, but I have to go to Hong Kong for three months. No, I won't be able to come home on my days off. Hello...hello?"
