First off...
Ah Freddy. Alot better now with the new highways in place. Saint John is, what, an hour away with a QMJHL team (watch the highway after dark, I clocked a bear by Vimy Range!)
Ahhh, Sweetwaters...
Don't fruit the beer, man law. Even as a part time farmer of berries that happen to be blue I scoff at the notion of them in my brew. ;Dtree hugger said:

Info about oromoscow?
Housing anywhere within a 30 min range of the base is on the rise, as that area is obviously in high demand,
Concerning living within oromocto, I would say lockup any and all property. Basically anything that can be picked up and carried off will be.
When I lived on rutledge street across from ridgeview middle school, we had alot of problems with that. There were always teenagers around the paths at night, and serveral times my father chased off people trying to steal from the backyard, not even the garbage bins were safe. If being able to choose a place, live on the far west of the town. Away from the mall and surrounding area.
There is a problem with drugs and theft in that area.
All problems are minor though and can be expected anywhere you go. It is a nice place and offers lots of recreaction (base gym, outdoor track by middle school, walking trails, sports teams for all seasons for the kids, skating at the rink, etc). The schools are alright (i went through them). And just about everything you need is within a 5 minute drive. It would be wise to shop in freddy on payday as the grocery stores in oromocto are pretty much empty of stock on those days. For good places to eat, hit up greco best pizza and donairs there, also i'm a fan of the hilltop for a nice night out.
and o yes there is lots of lakes and camping spots in the surrounding region. A drive out to little or oromocto lake is a good place.
Hope you enjoy gagetown!

Wrong there are 3 timmies ;D (Gateway, Oromocto mall, and Restagouche)
Well I guess I should of read the whole thread before posting this but what can you do.
As for housing, with the troops back, houses are selling fast; I have hired from a number of people who have sold there houses in under 18 hours on the market.

ArmyVern said:Glad you pointed that out!! I'm the Timmies expert ... they've had 3 of them for 3 years now.
To the thread originator:
Want details on which one to hit at which time?? Send PM ... it can be complicated!!
Easy:
Don't go to Restagouche, as the coffee never tastes right
The mall is good, but almost always has a line up
Gateway is good, but the staff can be really slow (common occurrence)

OROMOCTO, N.B. - More than 650 Canadian soldiers who served in Afghanistan will get an official welcome home Friday at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in New Brunswick.
Many of the soldiers have been home for more than two months, but officials at the base and the local communities decided they wanted to do more for their local heroes. Defence Minister Peter MacKay and Lt.-Gen. Andrew Leslie, the chief of the land staff, will present medals to the soldiers during a ceremony Friday morning.
The Second Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment Group will also be honoured with the General Campaign Star.
The Gagetown soldiers were among nearly 2,500 Canadian troops that completed a six-month deployment to Afghanistan in August.
