I feel for the lady but why exactly was the Navy ( read as us the taxpayer), paying for the storage?

I can understand the Navy paying for the move, but the storage? For several years?

When you’re stationed overseas, you can get furniture and appliances through the Housing Supply office. Why bring an American washer, dryer, stove and refridgerator? They’re not the same voltage and will not likely fit properly in the foreign homes.

If you’re on a short tour, it really isn’t worth bringing all of your stuff. You would be without it for at least four months while it’s being moved to and from your duty staion.
