Good Day Downhome Magazine: My name is LCdr Mark Fifield and I am the embarked Standing NATO Maritime Group One (SNMG1) Staff Public Affairs Officer (SPAO) aboard the Canadian Frigate HMCS Halifax. I am writing you from the North Atlantic Ocean near Greenland as we sail home to Halifax, Nova Scotia after having just completed our deployment for Operation REASSURANCE ROTO 14. We recently took a couple of group pictures (see attached) of the Newfoundlanders and Labradorians aboard HMCS Halifax which I am submitting to you for possible publication in an upcoming edition of the Downhome Magazine. The backstory being that our good friends at the Corner Brook Satellite Office - Gander Military Family Resource Centre sent us Newfoundland care packages filled with goodies during the deployment and in said care packages was a copy of the Downhome Magazine. It was a very much appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed taste of home, providing a big morale boost for all of us.
