    Spouse's Concerns

    As stated, it has nothing to do with my husbands military affairs, it has to do with working there.  And as stated earlier, I don't quote to know what EVERY mfrc does, just what the Edmonton MFRC does.

    Spouse's Concerns

    I find it interesting how you seem to know so much about nothing at all.  I work for the MFRC IN the DEPLOYMENT SUPPORT CENTRE, therefore I do know what I'm talking about.  The DSC does not work for the MFRC, but they are in the MFRC and are partially manned by military and civy members.  It is...

    Spouse's Concerns

    It goes without saying that someone including myself is going to have a bad experience with an MFRC at some point.  The gossiping that goes with it is the gossip of military wives no matter what base you go on.  The fact is, if you're not a cheating wife, a snobby, stuck up person, and you do...

    Spouse's Concerns

    Your unit rear party is usually of far more assistance to spouses than the MFRC, which is essentially a 9-5 business, with very little capacity or desire to work outside of this time frame. I find your advice of great concern.  I'm a military wife, and I also work with the MFRC at the...

    Guns, Gangs and Toronto

    Unfortunetly it's not only Toronto...Edmonton has become just as bad.  The only reason we don't think much about it is because the numbers are lower.  When you look at per capita though, Edmonton and Toronto really are the same, Edmonton if not worse.

    Spouse's Concerns

    Our three sons are now a Mechanical Engineer, a Psychiatrist, and an R.N. (working toward an MD).   I've spoken to each of them, as I have some regrets regarding missing "family time", and not just "being there". Each of them told me that although I was not always physically present, my...

    I thought I would share the exact story behind the "Yellow Ribbon"

    Although I do my best to vote at each election, I don't think there's an intelligent vote either way. Seems to me politicians will do their very best to screw the country either way.

    I thought I would share the exact story behind the "Yellow Ribbon"

    I was having a conversation with my mom about the yellow ribbon and it had come up about how it came about that it was now used to show support to soldiers.  I have yet to find out how "Support Our Soldiers" came from it, but I did some research tonight, and this is how the yellow ribbon came...

    BMQ and seperation anxiety

    Don't forget because your significant other is away for more then 4 weeks, you're able to access deployment childcare if it's offerred on your base, as well as any other deployment events that are offered.  Take this time to try new things and join new groups.  This is a great time to learn new...

    What can I do to make it a happy 3 weeks

    Ok so I've been through this 3 times before but honestly haven't put that much thought into it before, however I've been hearing from a lot of wives lately that their time with their husbands on HLTA have been horrible due to constant arguing and such.  My husband and I have had our share of...

    Mail and care packages sent to BMQ / BMOQ

    You should know that November 16 is the last day to send Christmas parcels overseas if you'd like him to recieve it for the 25th. I send parcels out at least every 4 weeks, although it's been much more with the rest of the packages I've sent him.   Tons of magazines, and other silly gadgets...

    How do I make him understand??

    I just thought I'd post a quick update.  Hubby and I have talk regularly on msn messenger which is great, and I look forward to racing down to the computer every night at 9:30 to await his sign in.  I've sent him a billion and one parcels, letters, envelopes, etc.. filled with all sorts of...

    Is this normal?

    I just wanted to thank everyone for your responses and support on the subject.  This will help a great deal in remembering.  It's good to know that when I cry on Rememberance Day :cdn: now, it's won't be silly. Thanks again.

    How do I make him understand??

    I know I don't have too much clue as too what they go through over there, but when my husband calls me and tells me about all the $2.00 movies that he rents and watches on his new $2000.00 laptop, I believe that taking a few minutes to write done a few words isn't going to break him.  Thankyou...
