'Tis Boxing Day by another day.... and much much much crazier.  Supposed to mark the beginning of the Christmas Shopping season. Pulled from wikipedia:

1. When will you decorate for Christmas? Tree goes up next weekend. 2. Real tree, artificial tree, or no tree? Artificial Tree 3. How much of your Christmas shopping have you completed? All done :)  Not exchanging gifts this year. 4. What would you like the Jolly Fat Guy to bring you this...

Im young and cool enough, but far too blind. ;)

Nothing as of yet :(  Going to head into the CFRC next week and have a chat about my file. 

Great find CelticGirl  ;D Many thanks. 

Cock fighting?  Seems a little low.  Monkey Knife fighting is way better.

Already posted in another topic regarding same, but wondering about Ballroom/Swing dancing in the CF.

Aye.  Just seeing what's available already, thinking into the future a bit.  I'm big on 5 year plans (too much time in business).  Eventually I'll be there :)

Somehow get me posted to Comox and I'll make it happen =D.  I've heard its hard to get posted there (Maybe the lack of 8 feet of snow in the winter?). Well then, maybe I'll see you there :)

Well, I'll take that to mean you're not down with the Ballroom Dancing then CDN Aviator.  :P Oh well.  I'll take a night of dance over a night of drinking every time. 

With all the different sports that members of the Forces are involved in, I'm curious whether there's any organized dances?  Especially Ballroom dancing. If not, do you think creating a club for Dance would go over well in general? (Former dance instructor, wouldn't mind passing along some skills)

It's most likely a piece of spyware.  Ad-aware should be able to clear it up. The other possibility is a faulty DNS Server at the ISP. Doesn't happen too often, but I've seen ISP servers get virused and start redirecting customers.

AEC is Aerospace Control Officer.  Air Traffic and Air Weapons Control. Straight off the Forces site: You will be responsible for the conduct of aerospace surveillance, warning, and control of airborne objects throughout Canadian Airspace. You will also provide control to civilian and military...

The flying hours in his profile had me thinking Pilot.  *shrugs*  Learn something new everyday.  What MOC are you CDN Aviator?

Ahh, I thought you were a pilot.  Sorry, my mistake. I'm not trying to use it as a yardstick for ego.  Just something I was told at the recruiting center, that it was a very hard trade to qualify for and not many people make that qualification.  It would explain why there isn't a lot of people...

Maybe because people with the sort of scores required for AEC also have the sort of scores for Pilot.  Everyone wants to be you CDN Aviator ;)

True, there will be a lot of people calling it discrimination. While it may not function in todays society, I still would support the move.  Someone who does enough bodybuilding to reach 300lbs has made a choice in their weight, the same as someone who doesnt exercise at all and is the same...

In general, I have to disagree.  While it may not be percieved as fair, it does cost the Airline more to transport that 6'4" person.  Being that height isn't something they can control, but it doesn't change the fact that it factors into fuel costs.  I think the concern is really about massively...

I fully support the Airlines in charging people based on weight.  It does cost an airline more to transport overweight people. Why should I be charged a higher ticket price just to cover off for those that don't stay in shape?

The low number of people waiting on AEC doesn't surprise me too much.  The CFAT score to get into the trade is brutal; highest CFAT requirement in the Forces.
