yeah the links they give you in the e-mail are bogus

Also, actually doing all the math to get a specific answer isn't very time effective.

It's not a double standard because people do things like "we should have a white parade" or "fuck that we should be able to have a straight parade" out of spite.  If those groups were oppressed then you'd have a case. I'll agree about political correctness and that some sort of a double...

This is the worst logic to address an issue. Did they keep the Canadian Forces out of the Hamilton parade solely because of one man? Of course not...Occam's Razor and logical deduction would imply that it has more to do with right wing/left wing political differences than some random guy. A...

I agree with the OP - but I also think the gap started to really change with people born in the mid '80s. Kids nowadays (generally speaking of course) have little to no regard for authority, rules, or personal integrity.

let us know how the test goes

I should rephrase - I understand the system, but why have quotas allocated to each region? You could achieve the same end without placing the restriction on individual regions by just having a national quota that everyone hires out of.

For what it's worth, I talked to my Career Counsellor today - he said that regions were allocated a specific number of spots.  However, there were also a number of spots "banked" nationally so if a certain region needed additional slots that they'd be made available. I don't quite understand...

The Netherlands were embarassing, and the Germans are surely the favourite to win it now. With respect to Spain, they pretty much throttled their pool, but now have to play a good Russian team.

My rankings for the group stages went something like: - Holland - Spain - everyone else

I jumped once last summer (girlfriend got it for a birthday present!).  I was scared shitless, and barely got my 6'2 frame out of the Cessna. When the guide pulled the ripcord my crotch got pulled so bad I walked like a western gunslinger for a week. Although it was amazing, I'm not in a hurry...

I think the mother deserves a kick in the....ummm....something for the way she handled this

It's unfortunate that society is leaning this way.

Interesting numbers.  I presume that the places these AECs are situated is off-limits...? Also, what type of 'staff jobs' do AECs do?

Well, with any luck on my medical I'll be BMOQ'ing-it-up near the end of August!

Germany was quite impressive today.  Portugal wasn't even in the game. I'm quite excited to watch the Netherlands though...

Of course I'm not worried about failing - it's more of a curiousity thing. I predict that, if one isn't suitable for AEC as shown by their training, they wouldn't just get shown the door...?  That there would be some sort of system that would enable that individual to stay within the Forces? ...

Additionally, what happens to the officers that don't get through CFSACO?
