My Grandmother gave me "Turvey" by Earle Birney for my birthday. Published first in 1949, then again in 1960 under the name "The Kootenay Highlander." It is a great book with an engaging story and realistic characters. That, and it is really freaking hilarious! I highly recomend it. Anyone else...
Mortarman: point of clarification: I was trying to prove to Ghyslyn was that we do, in fact, (in his/her words) have "..."normal" events about "normal" things..."
I agree with you in your above statements. I just thought I would clarify.
Ghyslyn, we do: Canada Day parades, Christmas parades, Remembrance Day parades, and many other local events such as the Apple Blossom parade where I'm from. All which you would probably consider 'normal.'
If you are looking to build upper-body strength, or increase your failing point for push-ups and chin-ups, try a pyramid work out. It worked for me. Here's the best description of a pyramid workout that I've found: http://www.military.com/military-fitness/fitness-test-prep/pt-pyramid

If you want to work closely with the military but are unfit etc., this is a professional-volunteer organization that responds to a variety of 'emergencies.' If you are unfit to fly, there are also many ground duties that are equally rewarding.
