That would be the very same Pat Tower.  I was in the Scottish with him during the early nineties before he made the Reg Force jump.  If anybody is currently serving with him, I'd appreciate it if you could give him congrats from "Popeye".

Someone buy that laywer a beer.    ;D

Its nice to see that displays such as this are starting up again.  I remember going to the PNE in Vancouver back in the 80s and visiting the CF exhibit.  They would rotate each year between the three services, in a little building building next to the Pacific Colosseum.  I distinctly remember ...

Be aware though that when it comes to the Express test, you have to perform to the CF standard.  If you can't pull off the required amount (for your sex/age group) without your wrist collapsing, you need to apply for a "modified push-up protocol" to CFPSA. You'll need a Memo that makes the...

This video clearly demonstrates that the safest action to take during a bombing campaign is to put on a wedding dress and hide under a pile of plush toys, preferably Disney-related.

She should go for a practice run in the middle of a soccer pitch.  :P

Father was Navy, grandfather was Navy, sister is Navy, mother worked at a school for Navy kids. So I joined the Army...sister's boyfriend (now husband) convinced me I wanted to be with the C Scot R. As for people's reactions, I'm currently working a summer work term for my Masters program. ...

An absolutely shocking article.  Living in North York, I would never have guessed that Toronto has a gang problem.  ::) Slow news day now that Is and Hez are under a ceasefire?

Best box lunch was given to me on the bus ride back to the Edmonton airport after RV92.  Highlights included a sub, fried chicken and a Coke.  Until that time, I had no idea that the "rules" permitted inclusion of such food items in the box.  I remember sort of staring at the Coke in awe.  As a...

Any reason why it's limited to the past three years?  I have lots of examples from my days in the Res.  Most notable, the "shin splints" I was told to "walk off" for about 6 years that turned out to be bilateral anterior compartment syndrome...diagnosed only in St-Jean during BOTC.  Surgery...

I don't know.  Wouldn't playing as a Canadian be unfair?  Like using God mode?  ;D

Update to the story: I spoke with the detective handling the case.  It turns out the kid was making the whole thing up and has a "history".  He couldn't go into specifics about the case because criminal charges are now pending.  I told him that if the case goes to court I'll be more than happy...

It could have been a breeching whale headbutting the aircraft. I have a degree in Biology and have have eaten fish on numerous occasions.  I'm sure some media outlet would see those credentials as newsworthy. Leave crash investigation to the crash investigators.  Leave speculation to Brian...

So far, nothing else major heard.  The kid's alright and they've assigned an officer to the case.  Very surreal talking to 911 dispatch and having the kid say he was kidnapped.  I did a double take when he said that.  I heard some of his story, but he was really in a bad state psychologically...

Chalk this one up in the, "only happens once" category. Woken up at 0330 hrs to someone hammering my PMQ's buzzer.  Naturally, I think it's either an accident outside the patch or some drunk looking for a cab.  Oddly enough, it's a young kid wearing only a pair of pants and socks...no shirt or...

I was at Ruth's Chris early this week, invited as part of a corporate function.  Steak was good (NY Strip), but not worth the 49 bucks they charged.  AND, that 49 bucks got you the steak...sides were extra at 10 bucks a plate.  Not a place I'd go if the cheque was coming to me.  In compoarison...

A few points: The issue with the kit list has pretty much been covered.  CFSSAT offered two options because people were having some major issues trying to get either the CADPAT or the flightsuits from their local supply.  In some cases, people were being told they weren't entitled to the kit...

These are ideas I passed on to aircrew when I worked at CFSSAT and taught about sleep physiology.  You might want to try: a) Writing down a list of things you "need" to do for the next day. That way, you're not worrying about forgetting to do them while trying to fall asleep. b) Have a look at...

If this is your driving force, then MEd is the obvious choice.  After all, it's the one that will add the greatest number of letters to the end of your name.  Personally, I'd be more concerned with the quality of education than what others thought of my alumni status.

Ontario also has the Health Premium... ...and just because you don't use it doesn't mean you don't pay it.
