As one would expect, coordinating getting a loan in 5 days from Afghanistan is tricky. My credit union makes it fairly easy, but something as simple as faxing the paperwork is riddled with problems. I can’t fax from here, so I had my boat broker do it for me. The bank said the never got it, so I had to call and get it re-faxed, then call to verify. Because of the time window where they are open and I am awake, this has taken three days from request to fulfillment. I should have an answer later this afternoon or in the morning. The problem is, it has to clear both my bank and the brokers bank by COB Monday or technically I’m in default. Fingers and toes still crossed!
