On base we'll answer with ...Where are we from?<br /><br />On base we'll answer with 8 Wing - a reply that brings wise nods of understanding from fellow members, perhaps a grin, a chuckle, the occasional "this is a much nice posting", and of course, "do you know Captain Blarg at CFLAWC?"<br /><br />Off base we'll answer with Comox or Lazo if we're feeling naughty and really want to confuse people - the question when asked by civilians not knowledgeable in the ways of career managers means "where do you live?"<br /><br />Where am I from? Perhaps I am a rarity as I was born in St Joe's in Comox when my dad was at CFB Comox, and moved back the beautiful Comox Valley when my spouse was posted here from Trenton. <br /><br />I started off life as the child of a member who was posted, graduated to become the member who was posted, and now have evolved into being the spouse of a member who is posted. <br /><br />Where am I from?

One of those was my hometown where I was born and raised but haven't been back to visit in over 20 years. There's no family there now. The 'home' feeling isn't there. As the saying goes, "Home is where the heart is." My husband is my heart. Home is wherever the CF tells us to lay our heads. <br /><br />I truly hope "Anonymous" reads your blog for today. Perhaps shedding some light on the lives of those who serve and those who support them may just possibly alter her/his point of view. <br /><br />But, if not ... I still say, "Amen, Sister!"

They don't understand that blank look on your face when you try and figure out how you're going to answer that question. They also don't understand when you question back, "Where am I from originally or most recently?"Canadian Army Wifehttp://www.armywife.canoreply@blogger.com
