I spoke to a child phychologist regarding the impacts to my son while im away in basic. He is only 5yrs old and i have never been apart from him more than a two week period. So 3.5 months in basic is going to be a challenge for all, i am sure. The physchologist recommended keeping all of his...

You should do whats in your heart and not worry about the others.

Exactly what i have been trying to say, injuries should not be just left to chance. Best to get them checked out!! Wouldn't you rather know and start recouping than put it aside and make things worse.

So today i became a member of the Canadian Forces, it feels good. My partner was so proud she almost even started crying, it feels good to have some great support backing me thats for sure. My mom even travelled from Kamloops to come see my swearing in ceremony.  Im looking forward to this...
