I'd be surprised if other host countries didn't have similar problems.

My understanding is they want posts run past them before they're put online, but I'm just a civvie. Honestly, though, I would have thought this would have already been in place.

Do you do these times on a treadmill or are you using a stopwatch outdoors, or do you use an indoor track?

It's also being televised (it's on right now, CBC Newsworld).

I recall reading that you only get that 20 days after your first year, but I'm not sure if I'm confusing it with something else I was reading, and I can't find the article. It makes some sense to me, because it takes at least a year to complete initial training, right? It could be just that...

Isn't that what SWAT/ERT (or whatever acronym the Toronto guys use) is for, to provide a specially traned force, utilizing more militaristic methods and equipment, for situations where normal police aren't trained/equipped for?

If your glasses are uncomfortable, get a pair that are comfortable. Don't worry about how they look so much, and don't get an expensive pair, as you could end up destroying them.  Get something comfortable, not too expensive, and durable, and use them for training/in the field. As far as...

That's why it's prescription only, and then only for extreme cases when nothing else works (a friend of mine from school had to take it. I honestly never saw him without acne, it was wierd when it cleared up.).

Umm, for any of the "elite" units of the CF, you're going to have to spend some time as an "every-day, run-of-the-mill" tradesman (be it Combat Arms, Support, or deck-mopper).

Yeah, these are pretty much my reasons, as well. Especially #5.
