Anira_09's Thread - New Service Wife with Husband Away on Course

[Anira_09]

Hello
Just a small update.

Husband arrived good at Esquimalt. He is in love already with the city, the weather and the food.
But not all is happiness ....
when he arrived looks like nobody was informed that he was coming, no more space for his course that begins  in April so he will have to wait till November and (like we imagined) they won't move us with him.
Sooooo i don't know what we will do......1 year is to much for our family to be leaving in the limbo.
Hope he will have more info soon.

Glad he arrived safely.  Sorry to hear about the set back for you all.  It is tough, I was over 18 months in training before my first posting when I first joined. 

 

[Anira_09]

18 months????
His course normally is just 25 weeks but it's the time of waiting in between that will be long for us. We are thinking to move over there anyhow but its a bit risky of he is posted to Halifax insted of Esquimalt. Will be a "big fail"  for us tho. Lol

Basic, language training, PAT platoon and 6 month QL 3.  On reflection, not 18 months, but 14.  Oops.

 

[Anira_09]

Ahhhhhhhhh ok! Well, in June will be one year that he start his training Basic, language training, and now PAT till his course start (25 weeks course) but have been only almost 2 weeks that he went to Esquimalt.
But its hard anyways. But Im here, holding the fort!!!! [emoji4]

Atta girl!

If your husband's course doesn't start until November, there MAY be some options.  First, he should be entitled to Leave Travel Assistance (LTA), so he can come home on leave.  Everyone is entitled to this once per fiscal year and since the fiscal year has only just begun (1 April 17), he should still have his entitlement for this year.

Another option is for him to request he await his course elsewhere.  If you're close to another military base, he could ask to be attach posted there to await his course, rather than be separated from his family all that time.

There are a few who are attach posted to Reserve units as well, which increases the odds of finding a place closer to home.

Edited to add: If you live in Montreal, HMCS Donnacona 3525 Saint-Jacques Street Montreal H4C 0A1 514-283-6517 may be an option. See https://www.facebook.com/NCSMHMCSDonnacona/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMCS_Donnacona for more info.

And if Donnacona doesn't have a spot, there are NRD's in Kingston, Ottawa, Trois Riviere and Ville de Quebec all which are a lot closer than Esquimalt.

Hey thanks for the answers
I dont know if we have those options because his Fleet school course may be begin in July.
The LTA works the other way around??? Can we go to visit him??? (My 2 kids and I)
I heard that after 6 months being there is consider like a "posting" so he can apply for a PMQ???? Well all that it's just hearsay  i know but i have a lot of hope [emoji4]

Hello
My husband and I are common in law since 2011. We live in a rental house in Montreal since 2014.
My husband just left for his QL3 to Esquimalt and will pass at least 1 year before we are allow to move with him. We are thinking that will be a good idea to move to a smaller place, cheaper, because he will be paying rations and we are not that rich to pay 2 rents.
My question is :
How works if a want to move to a smaller place? ( change address, he wont be signing the Lease cuz he is not here)
If a miracle happens and the fc move us over there: they will break my new lease???

Thanks a lot.

As always,  your husband's unit is your most trusted source of official information.

Normally, when we combine a bunch of a particular member's threads and name the result after him/her, it is not done because he/she has earned our respect and we wish to memorialize them for that reason.

This is an exception. I thought that it would be more convenient to do this as there was a common theme running through them, merging with other threads was impractical, and the questions asked and answers given would be very helpful to others in the future.
