MILITARY-MOM, son is at CFB Wainwright.
Praying for all our heroes & families enduring the same crippling fear, waiting to hear their child's voice. ๐
@Ash_Stewart_ My grief for this Mom, and family is a hard hit for all, and Shaun's 3 PPLCI platoon. Patricia, my Army Mom heart has cried all night with you, and now for you. ๐
@MichelleRempel Thank you, from a 3 PPCLI Mom, whose son is in Wainwright, and training as this happened. I didn't get that knock on the door, but utterly devastated lady, who we got thru the night together by chatting about all the scenarios.....got that knock. I'm gutted, for her.
@Deutsches_Gift I GOT THAT TOO! Out of respect, until the families that were getting that knock on the door, I kept silent.
One Mom, I was in communication with throughout the night,
got.....that knock.
I'm just gutted for her.
We are dealing with a serious incident at CFB Wainwright, and are fully engaged with federal, provincial and local authorities. Our priority remains the welfare of our members, their families and their community, and my thoughts are with all those affected by this incident.
@WBrettWilson@WainwrightAB As a Mom, to a 3 PPCLI soldier, currently in this tragedy, maybe focus on the killed soldiers, the injured and their families, before trying to inject a self-serving insensitive post.
@tleehumphrey My son trains, and is in Wainwright. That said, something I'm not seeing considered, is petroleum infrastructure does deteriorate. There's multiple cases where pipelines have burst, causing fires.
Even if it has always been a safe training zone, old pipelines are vulnerable.
