X-mo, Yikes.  Cracy Cat-man?  I better lay off the cat vs kid stuff.  Yes...I think we all agree that the justice system should prevail even though many of us believe the senteces aren't nearly as harsh as they should be. I'm done with this topic for now. J

It sounds like the Pilot may have underestimated the opponent and went in too low, too slow and head on vs coming up the rear. J

Well X-mo, I love kids and I love cats.  I don't have kids myself so I can't make the comparison between cat and child.  They are the same to me - right now.  I like Cats actually - it doesn't take them 2 years to learn how to walk or poop right, nor will they suck 22 years of your life, money...

To me doing the CFAT "just fine" is attaining a minimum top 90th percentile - enough to qualify for Pilot.  Do they not give out the scores?  I know in my day they didn't, they just gave a print out of the occupations you qualified for. J

It really does make me angry when I think about that poor cat that was mercilessly and slowly cooked from the inside-out & having it's blood boil AND ultimately enduring 10 minutes of the worst kind of hell I wouldn't wish on my enemies.  I'm sorry to be so explicit but we have to put this into...

Fighter jets are needed in Canada as an insurance policy and a deterrent.  The US can't cover us 100% of the time nor would they care to - their interest in Canada is our resources. J

Just an observation.  The "Boneyard" has almost as many scrap F/A 18s as we have in our "active" fleet of CF-18s (when I mean active, I mean serviceable and flying at any given point in time). http://www.amarcexperience.com/AMARCDBAircraftTypesSummary.asp - Look under"McDonnell Douglas...

http://www.amarcexperience.com/Default.asp - Main website http://www.amarcexperience.com/AMARCTour.asp - Interactive map I was in Phoenix/Tuscon area a few years ago but didn't get a chance to hang out at the USAF Boneyard (where the refurbish and/or scrap old military aircraft).  This place is...

Listen, Nothing is perfect, especially federally regulated name lists.  Anyone at anytime could end up on the No Fly list for reasons other than described above.  One fellow I was dealing with (IT Professional) shared the same name (first, middle, last), same birthday (day and year) and lived...

Both organizations have their merits.  I did write the RCMP test long ago AND passed the physical with flying colours - however the notion of being stationed in the Yukon for 2+ years didn't appeal to me at the time (this was 12-13 years ago).  A buddy of mine went from PRes Officer straight...

To some degree I feel that 'good' citizens must take it upon themselves to enforce their own moral judgements.  It is not sick, nor horrible to wish upon the pain of your enemy what they have inflicted on others.  Having said that, I believe that the justice system must have it's due process...

Citing this article.  How can people be so cruel as to microwave a helpless animal.  My suggestion, Microwave the young men for 10 minutes while we all stand around and laugh - now that is justice!! Sorry - just ticked off at these idiots. J -------------------------------...

Yeah I figured it was staged - the monitors don't seem to have cables connected to anything.  Regardless, an office setup like that is not uncommon in the civvie world (and apparently NDHQ). J

http://gizmodo.com/5012983/security-cam-footage-of-cubicle-rage-to-the-extreme-is-every-cube-dwellers-fantasy Stay in the CF, civvie managers like to herd people into tight cubicle spaces. J

All folks wanting to join the CF, Please heed my warning.  I left the CF to make more money and guess what.  I want back in - paycheque aside, you'll work in a job with a purpose.  The civilian world works to make money but it is a soul sucking venture in every job at every level.  You'll...

Just read the above document.  It would use "Canadian-made" Bear Trap pull-down system - cool!!  The artistic interpretation leaves much to be desired though - it looks a bit like a boat plus no fear/awe inspiring Gatling gun.  Missles are cool but nothing compares to the sight of an Apache...

Wow, We should do something similar - but rather an emphasis on martial arts vs Yoga.  I'd find PT so much more enjoyable (albeit harder) if I new the skills I was developing could be used to defend myself and the backs of my fellow soldiers better.  I'd wake up at 5am for Ninjitsu training...

Ahh Damnit! That was supposed to be top secret info ;)  Actually the sea-born Apache was a joke I made up - but I guess it isn't now.  The US Military beat me to the puch by about 28 years according to the link. J

It's be way cooler if the attackers caught the silhoutte of a few sea-born Apache gunships heading their way.  OK - time to wake up.  I just wish Canada invested in gunship helos.  Those 'ol Seakings are worthy airframes but they need to be retired ASAP. You know what they say about war - 99%...

Hey Moody, Thanks for the friendly jab (Ajax?) ;)  Anyway I have contacted RMC to see if I can apply for the fall session for Bachelors of Military Arts and Science as a distant learning student.  I hope my previous military experience will allow me to be accepted/along with highschool marks. ...
