OP LENTUS

So I live in halifax, S3 in the Navy, and our chief was going around asking for volunteers for op lentus, (to help with the forest fires out in Nfld) and obviously I volunteer.

I later find out Im accepted, and put on a 'master list', but Im not sure what that means? Am I the first wave of people being sent or am I gonna be one of the first people choosen should they need more?

Some people are saying we get sent to gagetown and learn how to overhaul forest fires for a while?

Anyone have any insight on this?
