Hi everyone,
I've done a lot of searching on this board these past few days and it's been so helpful (and sometimes humourous) to learn about what my fiance is probably going through, what to expect on my end, and what I can do to support him. One of the things that frustrated me was the "not knowing" - when he'd get time off, when he could call, if we could write letters etc., but this board made me realize that this life of "maybe" is normal.
We had started planning a wedding for August 2009 before he left. During this time he should be in Gagetown completing Phases 2,3,4 of training as an Engineering Officer from what I understand - my question is, is it likely that he will be able to get time off to come home to Toronto for his own wedding?? Does this "depend" on when courses end, or his performance, or on anything else, or is it possible to definitively book time off? Does he have to wait until he gets to Gagetown to find out?
We've pretty much booked a venue, and I don't want to have everything booked only to find out a week before the wedding that he won't be able to come home... Does anyone have answers to questions in the previous paragraph, or has anyone been in a similar situation?
