The slow motion footage of the guys stepping out into the wind and being thrown around was amazing.  :o

Thanks for the advice.  My allergy is non-fatal, but rather unpleasant.  Even if you came back and said "You're totall hosed, no way out." I'd still complete the process as far as I can take it.  I'd rather pursue this as far as I can, rather than just give up.  Thanks, George.

I have an application in progress for the reserves.  From reading this thread (and others) I'm worried I'll be rejected when I reach the medical phase.  I have an allergy to nuts, but not peanuts (I'll eat Mr Big's till the cows come home).  Is that gonna bring it to a screeching halt?

Nice beaver. Expanding on someone else's idea, get a Canadian coin with the year you were born.  Just do a bit of research to make sure you find out what the coin looked lke when they were minted then.  Or improvise with a custom design.  It's your skin. http://www.pcfleet.com/Coinclub/1998set.gif

I've thought about getting the coat of arms for my home province (Alberta, seen as my avatar).  It's something different than the usualy flag, but still looks good and has an element of patriotism to it.

Full agreement on Gatorade.  A couple years ago I was hiking up a mountain in BC (whole day up & down), I was packing both water and gatorade.  I started off drinking the water first, which was tough going.  My body just felt drained.  Half way up, when I ran outta plain water, I switched to the...

Keith's, Guinness, Kokanee, Asahi... in that order.

I was waiting for that.  ::)

Submarine X-1 - James Caan stars as a Canadian midget submarine commander during WW2.  They train and then execute a underwater raid against the German Navy. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063655/ I had another in mind, by the title escapes me.

Google Earth has that ability, just go Tools... Measure.  Either a Line or Path.  I use Path alot to measure out how distances I've run.

Further down there's a pair of A-10s, and a few others (F-16s?).  And an AWACS just to the east.

Quagmire was probably right.  Most likely lugging around a C6.  Which is quite a bit heavier around 25+ lbs, than the C7 which is about 8lbs.

2015 is quite a ways off.  What are the main contenders to replace the Leo1's? 

Congrats!

Haha, awesome.
