FINALLY! I'm a demo!

[Ariel]

It took over a month from when my demo sent me the paperwork via e-mail to get it all done and processed. One part was the Military Acknowledgement form. The guy sat on it for a while and I made DH go ask for it!
Then it took forever for my demo to get the completed paperwork,etc.
Then I called Demo support this am and they gave me my demo number but the computers were messed up so I couldn't get a password so I went to bed (b/c it was night time here) and woke up calling demo support before I was even out of the bed!
I'm so excited I could pee in my pants.

What is the military acknowledgement form? does SU require the military to approve your becoming a demo or does the military require you to get its approval???

Demos who are stationed overseas must have approval from the base or post commander to sell. Some bases do not allow selling though most do. If the base does not allow selling, SU puts that demo on a special military status where they don't have to meke the minimum $300 per quarter. (Yay for SU!) Once that non-selling demo gets back to the US, they fill out another form basically saying that they're back and can start running their business again.

From what I understand you are partially right, Belinda. I was approved to sell on base but I still don't have minimums since I'm overseas. Either way, I'll still do the minimum just with my own habit! Besides we don't have ANY stamping or SB supplies on base except a couple of post bound albums that have a very yellow, rough paper. They are very cheap in price and quality. We don't have any stickers, papers, etc. Every once in a while (about once a year) we get a few stamps but they have a baby theme. I'm also the only demonstrator (that I know of) on my base so I think I can make minimums.
