From Ship to Shore
After recently being separated from her husband while he was deployed in Afghanistan, this member found out that now she was going to be sent overseas. This was a great source of stress for the member since her husband was posted to a ship, and she was on a base with her two small children. The member didn’t know what to do since she and her husband had no family residing close by that could care for their children while she was gone. In the face of this dilemma, her husband was even considering leaving the CF after more than 15 years of service.
The member decided that before such a drastic move was made, she would contact the Office to see if they could help with the problem. It was a good thing she did.
After talking to an intake officer as well as an investigator, it was discovered that a trade similar to her husband’s was available on her base. Elated, the member’s husband applied for a transfer to this position, and it was approved. The member, grateful for all the work of the Office, can now focus on her overseas mission, knowing the kids are safe at home with their father.
