CFB Esquimalt Testimonials (5-6 August 2025)

Thanks again for all you did to make all participants in this week’s Experience Days with the FDU have such a memorable time.
As previously mentioned, for me, the time had two components:  the once in a life time experiences (can’t wait for the pix!), and equally valued was the chance to have one-on-one time speaking with so many of the proud CAF members of different ranks and different specialties.
I am very proud of our service personnel and learned much to advance my advocacy for CAF through Canada Company.

Thank you kindly!

Thank you … for such an amazing two days!  The experience we gained from spending time with the Fleet Diving Unit will stay with us forever and it will give us new perspectives about how to support the CAF and our soldiers in our civilian roles.
Thanks also to our ‘crew’, new and existing friends, I hope to stay in touch!

Thank you . .. for leading us through such a fun and engaging 2 days of challenges and adventures.  It was eye opening to see the variety of backgrounds that people bring to the CAF and how that helps them to serve.
It was wonderful to spend time and get to know you all.  Such a cool crew to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience with!

I think we all came away with a renewed respect and appreciation for the work our men and women in uniform do for us. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my fellow participants. So many interesting and successful people from such diverse backgrounds. I’m glad to have met you all and to consider you all new friends!
