So far, there has been a wonderful response to this project and it is heartening to know that people are interested in showing their support for the spouses and families who support the troops. It is encouraging to spouses and families of CF members everywhere to see how well-received this...

Wow, to be an artist and not get recognition for your work is not nice. I am an artist of sorts and sometimes I get no recognition so I can understand that. But, I digress. I did not know the whole story behind Home Fires Park as I am relatively new to Petawawa. As unfair as all that has...

There can never be too much support or recognition for both troops and their families alike. The Eternal Flame is being created as an additional show of support for the wives and as a fantastic addition to the park itself. I too send huge KUDOS to Dianne, TMW and everyone who supports this...

With everyone on the gift cards(can't agree with you more camochick.....it makes my cry at the post office, which is why this is the first year I clued in and went the gift card way :) ) Hmmm....what about a "gift certificate" for something she wouldn't normally do(ie, weekend away with the...

All the girls said great things. There are so many options for support, it makes it lots of fun. I find I love both my friends whose hubbies just joined and those who are old pros at it. Sometimes those ladies have been through it enough times they have some great advice and tricks that really...

With you on this one sister. I too have had my share of military relationships and it's a wild ride. Fun, fun, fun...that's all I have to say.  ;D

Jewelz, So glad dh is doing better. Sorry to hear about his foot...yuck :-\. I hope it starts getting better soon. And I am so glad he has decided to stick this out and go through BMQ. YAY for both of you. Hope you had fun, I obviously haven't heard from you in a while. Call me and fill me in...

Making up care packages for military family and friends is always fun. You need to assess what you friend likes(within good judgement) and build the package from there. For example some great ideas include: favorite candy, dvd, cds, books, mags(I send dh a Maxim every once in a while will...

As far as where it came from, there doesn't seem to be any " real" history behind it. I did find this on the net: and this: Sounds pretty unreal, eh??  ??? :-[

On a good day(at lot in the summer) you can hear some training exercises happening in Gagetown, in Saint John...... :o

Dh loves this show and now has me addicted to it.  :) I'm not sure how "realistic" it is but some US soldiers who have been to Iraq seem to like it. A quote from a US Marine in another forum: Who knows though, people will put a spin on anything for ratings.  ::)

I think this is one of the most profound things said in this thread. :) And I totally agree with Shadow Cat in what she said. You can call home but do use it wisely. If one or two people ruin it on a course, then it is ruined for the whole course. And you guys are incredibly smart...you know...

That site is awesome. That is just too funny.  ;)

Camochick...I'm with you on that one. I like being both hunter and prey. It always gives you something to do. And, you'll always be hot.  ;)

With you on that one. I'm sure I may need some help in rangling the stragglers who are trying to make a last ditch attempt to escape. Any and all help will be welcomed and greatly rewarded. You keep what you catch....  ;D

AH, cougars....never thought I'd be one and yet a see it looming at the end of the tunnel. I am not as well versed in training my man...I wish he would get off the comp and do the dishes. Maybe I should start a "reward program". The more he does the better it gets....hmmm something to consider...

Jewelz, You are too funny somedays. I laughed right out loud.

Guys, everyone..I am sorry. There is some discussion amongst the women as to who started this whole load of attraction and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was me. Mine is pretty girlie but I can be just that and since it represented who I was I didn't see any harm in it. I checked the...

I'm a <b>March</b> and it couldn't be more dead on. :)

Just thought I would share something with the military spouses who frequent this board. A) There is lots of support out there for you, you just have to look, sometimes really hard. It really is there though. Have faith.  ;) B) And this point is mostly for the spouses that will be/are new to...
