Default Depart with Dignity

Thanks Ed. You are always there to provide the reliable information.

On another note, I am leaving this week the most outstanding organisation in the Canadian Armed Forces : 19 Wing Comox.

I have met very nice MLU members in the area and they made me feel most welcome in their little paradise here. I will miss them.

My new assignment will be CFB Esquimalt in Victoria BC.

So last week I was given the opportunity to visit my new work environment and here is the view from my new apartment I am moving in on Base at the Wardroom.

It will be an entirely new experience for me as I have had very limited exposure with the Senior Service. I look forward to it.

Two things on the radar for me now : Sea Kings ( And it's soon incoming replacement, the Cyclone ) and submarines.

I will be severely restricted on the pictures being taken but I will still post something for our viewers.

Godspeed to my new friends in the Comox Valley !

Go Navy !

When you get settled you might want to visit the Victoria chapter of Western Command and splice the mainbrace. The group meets at 7pm on the second Wednesday of each month (next February 08 ) at the Royal Canadian Legion Britannia branch #7 located at 780 Summit ave in Victoria. (Near the Canadian Tire on Douglas street).

Default New adventures in Victoria

I am in Esquimalt now, but I think I will continue the thread as it is .

I have met Tom Clark and I can state that he is a fine gentleman. He has showed me around and introduced me to HMV enthusiasts all over town. Thanks Tom.

Here are a few more pictures of my new surroundings.

Default Victoria in the spring

Not a military oriented post but it is nice to smell the flowers once in a while.

Enjoying spring in Victoria while my friends from across Canada and the US and especially the ones in the East ( NH included ) are suffering from a very harsh winter...

Taken in front of our local church last Sunday.
