What trade is he doing?  Depending on this will determine if he is going to be sitting in Meaford or Borden twiddling his thumbs until he starts his course.  If he is lucky he will have PT and might get to do some manual work around the base. My DH as it sits now has been twiddlign his thumbs...

Just I sure hope that he didn't go Army as he will have to run 10 km.  On a nother day he will have to do a 13 km rucksack march, do the fireman carry, dig a ditch and do the friemens carry and than dig another ditch all that day with no breaks.  Really BMQ is pretty easy compared to SQ and...

This BMQ sounds nothing different of the one that my DH was on and graduated from in June.  His was 10 weeks long and spent two weeks living out in the field in Farnham on rations.  He got up at 4:30 and wasn't allowed to sleep until 11 at night and he spent lots of time shining his boots and...

Ditto.  I will say as well that not once did I feel attacked.  Like I have said before people will have different opinions and as long as we agree to disagree then it is all good.  I am always open to a great debate.  :) I am going to go a little off topic here but I personally go to another...

Let me ask you this.  Did you know what PAT was before you joined?  Also if you were told that you would be able to move yoru family right after BMQ would you question it?  Like I have said we were niave.  We have learned alot from this. 

I am a military brat and also come from a large family and so being together as a family had always been an important part of our upbringing.  The longest that my father was every away was five months and that was it.  It wasn't two years.  As well I personally loved moving every few years and...

YOu obviously are unable to read.  Go back and read the posts and than maybe you would have a better understanding of the situation.  As well we are not looking at months here we are looking at over a year to possible two years. As well do you honestly think that friends are more important...

Oh and Air Force Medic.   The pay problems seem to be the norm.   Every single person on my DH course and every course thereafter has had problems.   It take about a month and a half to two months to get it straightened out.   Ours was straightened out the week before BMQ graduation.   Made it...

I  apologize for my assumption. Personally I have been behind my DH the whole time.  He wanted to quit during BMQ and than agian during SQ just becuase he was finding it difficult to be away from us.  It was his first time away for longer than four days in the 14 years that we have been...

Actually we were aware of how long each course was and that did not come as a surprise.  What comes as a surprise is that we were todl that his course was long enough to move us and in fact it really sin't and that while he was waiting for his training that he would be sitting around twiddling...

Oh and one more little thing becuase of someones lack of follow through we are actually seperated longer than what was needed.  See my DH course was slated to begin today but someone forgot to enroll him in another course that was neede prior to him starting his QL3's so becuase of that lack...

I am in total agreement with you about the cruelty.  We have been seperated for almost six months now and still have possibel another 8 months to go.  I say possibly becuase they are still possibly going to entertain the idea of moving us to Kingston but I am not holding my breathe on it...

I know it is a long time to be seperated. I know of a few people that have been seperated for 18+ months when it is all said and done.  The military member has been located at a base that they already know that they are going to be posted to but they wont move the family until all of their...

I am sorry I didn't realize that he was air force. I guess I should have looked at his/her user name.  :-[

I have no idea how long the training portion for his course is.  Sorry. The first four weeks of Basic and SQ he will be confind to the base/barracks.  After that as long as he "behaves" himself, he will be allowed out for the weekend.  I can't tell you if they are confind during their trade...

Alright my Dh just graduated from Basic in June so I can tell you about our scenerio. Day after graduation, you will be loaded onto a bus, very early in the morning, that will take you to PAT.   IN my hubby's case it is Borden.   Once there you will be informed of when your next course is and...

I have a question in regards to approval for moving yoru family during training.   Yes I know how long the training has to be.   That is not my question. See my DH has submitted his request to get us moved up to be with him.   He has a meeting with his SGT.   which led his SGT to sign off in...

We are in the process of filling out the papers to get us moved up for my DH's course so I would have to say that yes you can live off of base.  My husband has heard though that you still have to maintain your quaters for dailyu inspection but again that is only hearsay at this point.

And the fact remains.  We are canadians and we don't live below sea level so we would not not ever see this type of damage. It didn't just affect HRM either it affected the whole province, PEI and parts of NB.  Again no flooding like that but there were downed trees that made roads impassable...

I was thinking that when i was reading this whole post.  I live in HRM and I can tell you that yes we were not hit as hard as them but we did suffer some crippling damages, in fact it has been two years and we still haven't fully recovered.  Some people went without power, water and phone...
