Where is your favourite place to be sent by CF?

I've only got the one tour - being a Res Med A, they are hard to come by - but Bosnia was good life experience.  However - for my big leave, I could have taken a plane ticket home, or applied the funds for it towards travel.

I spent 7 days skiing the Swiss Alps.  3 days in Zurich touring beer and chocolate factories.  A very good time was had by all.

I've also been sent to Ottawa for a week - besides the trepidation of a Cpl walking into THE Puzzle Palace, I had never been before - so I got to see the War Museum, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Parliament Hill.  The people were friendly, and I got to go to some the very places that drive my career.

So: the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, and Ottawa.

I don't recommend Wainwright, AB, though.

I loved Aldershot, I stayed in tent city there for two summers running, hotter than hell during the day but nice and cool at night. Too many bars were off limits though. Acadia University was a real fun place to visit for the summer students!!!

My father was posted to Bermuda in the early 70's as an MP, loved every second of it. He took our family there the year the base was closed (93?) and I could easily see why it was so loved.

Dad had a buddy who did five tours in Alert, Dad said he liked to drink and mouth off to Officers.

Afghanistan, because I can actually do my job over there without some bean counter looking over my shoulder all the time.

MG,
The bean counters were there too. But only for 31 days, and they were too scared to leave camp. Thats why you didn't see them...
