Received from a member after the lock, added for info:
The Base CO, in conjunction with advice from various resources, has initiated a process that will allow all COs and Commandants to have available more information on the Soldier, so that they make the right decision.
Factors will include Financial Planning information, Social Situation, and basically enough resources for the CO to decide whether the Troop and his family are well informed on what is involved.
Here are some things to think about;
Transportation, do you have two vehicles? If not, are you financial stable to get a new one? Borden has zero in way of public transit, and no one is obliged to drive you.
Do you have a Provincial health Card for Ontario? Are you aware that there are absolutely no doctors in the area, willing to take on Patients, especially those that are transient such as families of People going to school in Borden. If you or your children have special needs, Toronto is the closest that you can have those attended to; 2 hours away, give or take, based on traffic.
Are you financially stable to be able to live with him at this time. You are getting more money, or should be, having him being away from you. Once you arrive that all goes away, however, now you have rent, and all the bills that go with the PMQ. Have you sat down, and figured all of this out??
You are taking up a residence, that could be given to families who have been posted here for many years. They now have to wait, because of the transient families, longer to find accommodations. How do you find this fair?
Just some things for you to chew on. I am not trying to hurt, or insult you, in any way. I completely understand your goals, but I want to let you know that there are more cons, than pros, with regards to you coming to Borden to be with you partner.

I have decided to unlock this, and monitor it closely, to make it easier for bekkamgov to respond. I do not want to let this go down the tube.
