Even though they are not on the list of things to bring my husband was very grateful when I sent him Mr. Clean Magic Erasers for scuffs and grime, Swiffer Cloths for the dustbunnies and Gel Insoles for his boots.  FYI instead of bringing or sending Gold Bond go to the MRI and get some foot...

My hubby lost three pounds but he really bulked up in the muscle department.  ;D

Dont quote me on this but this is what my understanding is. 1.  One year for CF.  This seems ridiculous becuase for income tax purposes it is 6 months or immediate when children are involved. 2.  Don't know.  I think that it is proof and make sure you fill out your income taxes as common-law...

Every situation is different becuase of the PAT waiting time. However I can tell you my husbands schedule so that you can get an idea of one situation. He left April 10th, 2005.  Finished BMQ on June 17th and on June 18th left for Borden.  Was in Borden for a week and than left for SQ in...

This is a difficult situation for one to comment on but based on just what you have said here I have to give you my opinion. I think that you are there for him and unfortunately her isn't there for you the way that you need him too. To turn off the phone becuase you try to get him to involve...

I have heard from military spouses that it depends on what type of posting you get to Borden.  If it is an attached posting the spouse can join but at the expense of the family.  If it is an actual posting to that base and you are awaiting training and that time plus training is going to be six...

Well I will say it again.  Welcome and nice to have met you.

Yup same here.  My hubby just graduated in June and he sent mail to me and it would take about two weeks for me to get it. Now here is another funny story for you.  He went to Borden after Basic and he mailed me a card on his first day there, a monday.  The following week he went to Gagetown to...

Yeah here in Halifax the only picuture taking was from spouses and there was no food or refreshments.  :(  Oh well it was so nice to see my hubby give his oath though.  So proud of him.

No body can really answer this becuase it all depends on if you have to wait for your SQ and Trade Training and if so how long.  Also you will have to take into consideration that XMAS is in there and so that will push everything back a few weeks as well. The best that I can tell you is that my...

Yeah I miss him too.  He always manages to put a smile on my face whenever I am feeling a little down.  Oh well 36 days until he is home for two weeks.  Come on go quickly.  lol.

He was in I believe R0199E.  The plattoon that won the flag.  My hubby was the one that got the most improved award and the comradship award.  (Pte. Bull, STR).

Please remember that my husband who is in his second week of SQ, graduated on June 17, was not able to get any time off so there is still the chance that it can not happen. 

I have a female friend that decided to join the infantry trade but she ended up getting released as she tore her back up badly and was stuck in a wheelchair for a few months till she recovered. 

I might be able to answer some of these questions for you. After you graduate on Friday you will be shipped off to your PAT platoon, probably Borden.  Once there you will find out when your courses start and if you are able to take time off, my husband was not able toas he started SQ after one...

We had the long distance plan through Rogers and it only gave us 120 minutes at a rate of $12.00 per month.  After that every minute was $0.25.  It take no time at all to use up the 120 minutes. With Aliant I pay $27.00 per month for 1200 minutes.  It was a no brainer for me.  The Call me card...

My husband just completed Basic in St. Jean two weeks ago and I can tell you that he called me every day except when they were in the field.  Sometimes the conversations only lasted 5 minutes sometimes it was an hour it all depended on his work load that evening.  There were plenty of phones...

Well got an update.  He starts his SQ next week in Gagetown.  He finishes there on August 15th and than he will report back to Borden.  He is than supposed to have two weeks leave and a week to find somewhere to live in Kingston for us. His course may start on September 25th but if it doesn't...

Yes he is a SigOp.  I guess he is leaving this weekend to do his SQ in Gagetown.  He is supposed to be finished that on August 15th (our wedding anniversary).  He is supposed to have a few weeks off after that for  HHT and R&R and than he starts his trade training supposedly on September 25th. ...

Well the 10 weeks are finally over and my DH graduated last week from BMQ in St. Jean.  Me and the kids made the trip to there from Halifax to see him proudly parade around in his super sexy unifrom.  lol.  He got the award for Most Improved and the award for Comradship.  I am so so proud of...
