@cdnnavylady You are going to be great Amber! I feel very privileged to have served the @DNDCF_Ombudsman I saw first hand how they work tirelessly for the fair treatment of CAF/DND personnel. You are a perfect voice for this advocacy!

Yep.... that's my #Beagle ♥️🐶 @beaglefacts though docile and calm in this picture, I am quite certain she is dreaming of running as fast as she can in the opposite direction of me...or chewing my night guard... again!! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@ChrisWhitecross You are an incredible role model and a force of spirit, please know that you have positively impacted so many of us who serve and I thank you. ❤️

@MikeFeltham @G_RequinBlanc Oh my....I was terrified! Though when it was brought up that the poor OS who was on the other side of the podium was more terrified, I calmed down!!

[D-L Gates @d_lgates]
