I am finally off the rock also known as Vancouver Island and my home of Victoria, British Columbia. After several delays, it appears that myself and colleagues that I have yet to meet, will finally be going on our peacekeeping mission to Sudan. After finding out that I was to be deployed out of Ottawa, Ontario immediately after my 2 weeks of training, my life in Victoria, British Columbia became a tornado. Along with trying to say my goodbyes to family members, friends, and spending quality time with them, I had also
decided to move prior to receiving my deployment date. To say the least, I am pretty sure I missed packing a few things while I sit here hammering into the electronic journal that is my BlackBerry in an old Texan-style pub next to my hotel. The Chimo. I figured the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) would have been first class all the way given we were being deployed for nine months. I was wrong. It's not bad, but it ain't The Hilton.
Ottawa is beautiful. A great place to get ready to head for Sudan. I am truly looking forward to going as an RCMP member to work under the UN umbrella as part of UNMIS (United Nations Mission in Sudan). I have no idea what to expect, but hopefully after the upcoming 2 weeks of training, I will have more of an idea.
Time to head to bed. Training tomorrow.
Cheers,
