    Favourite War Movies

    It is my understanding members deployed on Op HALO will only receive the CPSM, no other medal will be issued.

    Breaking up with loved ones

    This sentence says it all to me.  If she is not willing to support you in your chosen calling, it is time for both of you to move on.  Wish her well and get on with your life.

    Geo, exactly.  Access to training areas is much different from living at an isolated posting.

    How do RESERVIST'S families cope during a tour?

    zanshin, be proactive and go to the Petawawa MFRC and ask them for a contact name/number for the nearest MFRC to your wife/family.

    CF school administration

    Ubercree, The schools on bases were turned over to local school divisions in the early 90s.  Winnipeg School Division would run the school(s) at 17 Wg to serve the children from the PMQ patch (and possibly the residential neighbourhoods around it as it within the city). Cheers

    Position number advice?

    If you haven't heard anything by now, you had better ask your chain of command as soon as possible.  I have to caution you about dropping your university courses simply to go on tour.  You are better off finishing you education and moving on with your life.  Tours overseas will always be there...
