[quote=Anonymous]I still don't get the problem with Warsaw.  But let me explain a bit about how the assignment process works.  You have to bid a maximum number 8 bids.  At least four must be core bids at your current FS grade level.  You can then bid on up to 4 bids that are a grade above or below and can bid on one two grade stretch. If you have not done a hardship tour in the past 8 years, you must put down a hardship post - WHETHER OR NOT YOUR SPOUSE WANTS IT THERE OR NOT. So, a potential bid list could look something like this.

FS-02 - Washington, HQ 
FS-03 - Washington, HQ
FS-01 - Brussels
FS-02 - Warsaw
FS-03 - Frankfurt
FS-02 - Rome
FS-03 - Beijing
FS-03 - Bangui

Note the four "core" bids, with the real hardship placed last.  The general rule is, if you don't want to go there don't put it down.  However, if there are only hardships for core bids they will need to go there and you may be assigned tehre for "needs of the service."  Your spouse or SO's input is in helping you put the list together, not trying to get out of it once you already agreed upon it.  At least, that is how it should be. It appears the OP reserves the right to change things up if she doesn't get her way.

She was already aware months back that DH was assigned to Warsaw.  Did she thing language training was not going to come?  I think she lives in a world of denial.
