Hi All,
It's been quite a while since I posted last and that means I must have exhausted all other resources at my fingertips. That includes the infamous search function. Ok, on to my concerns. Here's a little background info to get started. My husband and I are a service couple. We both have over 3 years experience in the ResF, including trade qualifications. Recently my husband ot/ct'd and the paperwork went really fast. Before we knew it he was living in Borden awaiting courses. His initial posting message said move prohibited because his posting message didn't have an end date. His courses alone amounted to over 8 months of training, plus wait time because of course scheduling meant he would be in Borden for over a year. Therefore we opted to try and get a move (we have a young toddler). After a quick memo and a bit of a wait (2 months), his posting message was amended to restricted move. I'm still not certain what that fully means though. After the posting message was changed the ball started rolling again. My husband was given a list of tasks to complete and handed some keys from the CFHA on base and told him to pick a PMQ. The PMQ was picked last Friday and we were asked when we were moving in. We didn't know how to respond. We assumed that date was chosen for us, by Brookfield or something. So we all settled on November 5. Yes I know that's only 13 days away, hence why I have a feeling in my gut that something is missing and about awry on us. For instance we have had no contact with Brookfield and not sure whether we are supposed to or not. My husband has been on tasking in the field since Monday and won't be back in Pat Plt until Thursday. Hopefully he can receive some admin time then and get his to-do list done. Here's the kicker! Recently his course dates changed and it was a huge surprise to find out he was course loaded sooner than expected. So now he starts a course November 1. Then another one as soon as that course ends and then a few days break and then his 3's. So instead of being in Borden over a year, he's looking at only being there until the end of July before he has to leave for his OJT. I think that about covers our little story, now for my questions.
1. What exactly does a restricted posting entail?
2. Do we still qualify for a move since his course dates changed?
3. Does Brookfield cover all moves or only certain ones?
4. Who is responsible for contacting Brookfield? (We are preregistered on their website)
5. Will I be allowed to handle anything from my end?
For example, setting up appointments with Brookfield, etc... considering the move is scheduled while my husband is on course
Thanks so much for reading this far. You've already made my day! I appreciate any light someone can shed on this topic for me. Thank you in advance for answering my questions
