 Going down Highway 99 and like moments before the off-ramp the car starts you know pulling and jerking and as I was going up the off-ramp my car seized so I called for tow truck and got the car towed to the dealer and long story short $3,800 for all-cost labor and everything so I didn't have that in my savings so I all these years had been talking about neighbor Marine Corps Relief Society and the benefits and you should use it and been donating to it you know for the last umpteen years and I thought wow okay maybe I need to go and see the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society so I walked into the office that afternoon after getting the estimates and I talked to the person at the desk and said hi I'm Chief Ortloff and kind of in a bind this happened with my car and she said oh have a seat and we can get you in and out did you bring some estimates I said I did and I filled out the form I I filled out a very short budget paperwork and I signed it all and was in and out in about an hour and 15 minutes with a check for $3,800 made out to the dealer for the repairs and we set up a payment plan at Navy Marine Corps Relief Society to pay it back over the next 12 months and you know you talk interest-free loan that's a huge benefit but the bigger benefit for in my situation was knowing out of all the training you know and understanding the Marine Corps Relief Society and during the fun drives that that was an option for me that I could wow what am I gonna do and I didn't have this huge burden on my shoulder and I didn't have this I'm not gonna be able to get out of this I didn't have this concern about you know going to Navy Marine Corps Relief Society and filling up paperwork and getting a loan that my command would now see that as a chief petty officer you know I was destitute and had to get $3,800 loan to repair my car and therefore you know maybe I'm not a good leader and I you know there was my evil and you know those were far from the truth and and I didn't have those concerns and I felt very comfortable going in there regardless of what pay grade so I'm proud to say that as a Navy Chief Petty Officer I am a client of Navy Marine Corps Relief Society get out there do a big campaign when we're ready to go in the beginning of March you know I'll have a few of those coordinators on the show with me to talk about why they volunteered a little bit more about the campaign that forty eight point six million dollars that was you know used last year that we raised that much more as much as we can so that you know our future sailors and the legacy we leave behind is a Navy Marine Corps Relief Society that is equipped for future emergencies don't wait for things to happen to you make them happen for you
