Phil_J, thank you so much for your detailed reply. I really appreciate it. I think we've gathered all the information we can for now, and we just have to wait a few more weeks to find out when his course starts. Then we'll decide living arrangements from there. Thanks again (and to others on...

Would someone be able to clarify something for me, please? What is the difference between "during course", "outside of course", and "awaiting training"? And do the different phases of training affect his housing situation (ie. in phase 1, he's confined to base, in phase 2, he's free to live with...

Jeffb, thank you so much for your detailed reply. We figured we would be paying all of our moving expenses. My only concern is: I don't want to move to NB if he will just be staying on base 24/7. It's a lot of work to move there if I can't even spend time with him. Thank you for telling me...

I apologize if I don't have the terminology correct. My fiance is currently in BMOQ, which will finish in February. Then he will go to Gagetown, NB for further training as an Engineer Officer. His training in Gagetown is what I'm wondering about. What will his "housing" be like in Gagetown...

Searched the site and didn't see this posted, thought some of you might be interested. http://blogs.vancouversun.com/2011/11/10/spielberg-preview-war-horse/

Thanks! That was very specific and helpful! I appreciate you telling me all this. :)

When I said "cell phones are allowed", I was referring to the poster above who said they are in St Jean with him right now and cell phones are allowed. And the "break" I was referring to is after supper, before he goes to bed. I know his schedule is busy; I know he can't call me in the middle of...

Haha yes, I'm very emotional. I guess the first few days are the hardest. I was hoping he would be able to email me, since cell phones are allowed, but oh well. Do you think he would at least be able to keep his iPod, so he can have a little break from the course to listen to music?

He left yesterday. We were told at his Swearing In ceremony that there's not many phones, so there will be lots of guys who get homesick and are more desperate to call home first (unfortunately for me, he's not one of those guys). I have another question: Are they only able to use the phone...

I know :( We talked about this before he left and I don't expect to hear from him for a long time. I'm just having a hard time right now and was hoping to hear some good news (though I know it's very unlikely). For some reason, it makes me feel a little better to have talked to someone who is...

Thank you for the offer, Ayrsayle, but that's okay. He will call the first chance he gets. Unfortunately, he didn't take his cell phone because he assumed they would be taken away for those first 5 weeks. :( So I guess I'll have to wait until he gets a chance to use the payphone (or whatever...

Thanks for the replies. He just flew out to Montreal on Saturday. When do you think he will get a chance to call home? I know they are kept very busy, so is it unlikely to hope for a call within the first 5 weeks?

My fiance is currently in BMOQ in St Jean, Quebec. I'm having a really hard time, and I was wondering if anyone knows when they usually start getting weekends off, and how many he will get? I know there is a 4-5 week indoc period where he can't leave, but after that, how often will I be able to...
