I interviewed someone, who applied to the CAF Reserves, who had been deployed to Iraq with the USCG during the invasion in 2003 to control the port facilities, jetties etc. They were sent in only a few hours after the USMC had cleared the bad guys out. This 'someone' also happened to be female...

Are there any examples of such tests introduced by L1s? Seriously, I have no idea (as per SOP :) ).

But one thing is for sure: the great anachronisms (Guards Division and the Bands) shall remain intact!

Documents obtained by The Narwhal show BC Hydro’s former chief engineer and SNC Lavalin are among the recipients of lucrative and previously undisclosed direct-award contracts, fuelling calls for a public inquiry into the behind-schedule and over-budget hydro project

This should prove to be one of the toughest challenges faced by the US military in recent years: The Pentagon is confronting a resurgence of white supremacy and other right-wing ideologies in the ranks and is scrambling to track how acute the problem has become in the Trump era. It's an issue...

Like weapon handling, voice procedure, vehicle and equipment maintenance, small and large unit tactics etc etc, fitness training and testing is an important part of leading the development of a successful fighting force. Even more importantly, depending on what role you play on the battlefield...

Dude, I'm looking forward to your podcast series... add the one about the garbage can thing too ;)

Kind of like the guy that was grinding her gears? :)

You could probably add professions like Business (MBA-type), Accounting and Legal to that list. High Finance? Still a white man's world, and a testosterone fuelled, white collared, red neck rodeo. For more information watch 'Greed' - the original version and not the namby pamby remake ;)

That. Is. Awesome.

I‘d post a PSP logo if we had one :)

You know what? You're right! I take all that back ....
