Anyone in service I talked to that had the money and common sense got their own moving service. Anyone who didn't it was a great way to sell renters insurance going over horror stories of lost and destroyed items.

As much as I resent the people involved, this is how you address fraud and waste. Not that there isn't still incredible room for more fraud, waste, and abuse, but this is what first steps look like. Now if we could audit and reform the government contacting process we might be on to something
And this is what willful ignorance looks like!
Please enlighten me. I've done a half dozen military moves and they're all terrible, but as the article implies most of the waste is in the contact bid process, which I've also experienced first-hand.
They got lucky, really. There's no effort to actually identify fraud or waste; just indiscriminately cancelling anything they don't vibe with.
Nothing this administration has or will do is a good example of how things should be done.
And frankly, I'm sure they cancelled this contract in the hopes of causing more pain and unrest. I mean, you think these sociopathic fucks actually interact with soldiers and families that tried on this service? They had no idea is was actually wasteful, I'm quite certain of that. Keep in mind, getting rid of fraud and waste is NOT their actual goal with any of this shit.
That said, I acknowledge my last comment was rather a bit over the top; my apologies.
Totally fair and all forgiven. I fully believe it's just a way to score points with the base and they accidentally got one almost right. Core issue is still not being addressed and I fully expect the next thing will quite likely be worse. But broken clock and all that
