Pmq on restricted posting?

[onourwayhome]

Looking for experience on getting a restricted posting lifted while awaiting course. Sitting on PAT for 3 months before starting a 17 week course and just trying to figure out how reasonable it would be to get pmq (wife and child) ? Anyone have any experience or first-hand knowledge of this situation? Also how long it could take to work up the CoC to even get to the application process? Thanks?

No 3s qual?

IIRC, no cost move is allowed prior to a successful 3s qual and 1st posting and only then would a restriction be lifted. 

I'm certain someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Good luck getting a cost move this year!!

Off BTL moves are not impacted by reductions in the coming FY; those moves have been aggressively protected to ensure folks newly DP1 qualified are sent to units.

Does your CoC allow PAT to live off-base? Are there empty PMQs at your location? If the answer is yes to both, you may be able to pull it off - if you're willing to pay for the move out of your own pocket. Many of my peers moved their families into PMQs at St-Hubert and Gagetown (you can claim it on your taxes) because it's considered a move required for a job.
