Rohandro, I have seen your other thread, the locked one. I am glad you are thinking about boxing, I was going to reply to that one and suggest exactly that. I am fairly new to boxing myself, but thoroughly enjoy it, by far the best cardio ever. Not to mention the actual sparring :).  If there...

thank you for the link, much appreciated

I have a few questions about reserves, their arrangements with current employer, salaries and benefits etc. Perhaps easier to just stop by recruiting office... Anyways, I have a serious job, something I cannot miss a day, unless my absence is arranged with a substitute. I wonder if it is worth...

ok, we are wildly off topic here. For DEO I am sure it is quite normal to go through security checks. Plus don't forget this was all not too long after 9/11, new measures were already in place or so I was told. I am thinking now, just so we learn something from it, what if the recruiting process...

good question. I am 46, obviously aged out from just about anything. Passed my long security checks through the course of 3 (fkn THREE eh) years, and then I had to reapply and fill in another security form, because the old one lapsed through the passage of time. At which point I said fokkit, and...

I divorced, married and divorced again since the last post. And my 12yo son is now 20. Time flies...

another method is jumping.  Bar must be low enough so you can jump and with a bit of work do one chin, sort of taking-over from half way up, maintaining momentum.  From top down its nothing but negative rep.

My pullups are at 12 these days.  I think with pullups every pound of bodyweight counts, I am lifting weights too and bulked up to 200#.  When I was younger I was smoker and superslim so I am questioning if pullups is true measure of anything.  If you cannot do even one then I think all you need...

Interesting topic.  I am 41, not 31 (don't laugh) and was strongly advised to reactivate my application early next year.  I am making over 100 a year and my job is demanding and probably is just as somebody's dream as is pilot to me.  I will take an offer if I ever get it.  Here is why: If I...

Wonderbread, I used to do over 120 pushups in one set, in fact I don't remember me ever being completely exhausted and quitting after 120 was just from sheer boredome.  I was either 19 or 20 yo in the navy.  Mind you I was doing 27-29 chinups as well, and I aint no genetic freak.  So it is very...

that seems like universal problem.  I am in marine industry and shortage of skilled personnel with high tickets is quite dramatic.  You cannot just take someone from street and make him engineer or captain.

G2G, thank you.  I almost began worrying about my communication skills.  Haven't made to interview yet.  Just got a call few days ago - question was if I still want to go to interview as pilot trade is still closed.  I said yes and now I am back to waiting and holding my breath.

Catalyst thank you, I couldn't find that particular page for some reason.  I guess I have got all I needed.

It would have been too easy.  There is no such thing as "my flight", I am not air cadet.

This is question to stuff mostly.  I know air cadets in BC continiously having trouble finding glider instructors.  Funny thing is - I am having trouble finding who is taking applications so to speak.  Can someone please (this board here is the last resort) connect me with the right person?  PM...
