    What book are you reading now?

    The Merged Thread on Gay/ Homosexual Topics and the CF.

    Mortarman: point of clarification: I was trying to prove to Ghyslyn was that we do, in fact, (in his/her words) have "..."normal" events about "normal" things..." I agree with you in your above statements. I just thought I would clarify.

    The Merged Thread on Gay/ Homosexual Topics and the CF.

    Ghyslyn, we do: Canada Day parades, Christmas parades, Remembrance Day parades, and many other local events such as the Apple Blossom parade where I'm from. All which you would probably consider 'normal.'

    John Wayne: usually used to describe toilet paper, i.e.. "Its rough, its tough, and it won't take sh*t from nobody!"

    PBS documentary "Carrier"

    Does anyone else think that this show over-emphasizes the amount of romancing that goes on shipboard? It's like a floating coronation street!

    Physical Fitness (Jogging, Diet, Cardiovascular, and Strength )

    If you are looking to build upper-body strength, or increase your failing point for push-ups and chin-ups, try a pyramid work out. It worked for me. Here's the best description of a pyramid workout that I've found: http://www.military.com/military-fitness/fitness-test-prep/pt-pyramid

    The Canadian Home Guard? Possibility?

    www.casara.ca If you want to work closely with the military but are unfit etc., this is a professional-volunteer organization that responds to a variety of 'emergencies.' If you are unfit to fly, there are also many ground duties that are equally rewarding.
