"
AWCETT, Alta. - Students and teachers at W.R. Frose School
watched as Santa jumped from a Griffon helicopter and into their
schoolyard December 12.
Santa dropped by to thank them for sending more than 100
Christmas cards to the Third Battalion, Princess Patricia's
Canadian Light Infantry (3 PPCLI) after learning that the unit is
preparing for potential deployment to Afghanistan in support of
Operation APOLLO.
Warrant Officer Bill Bolen, a former SkyHawk and veteran Santa
jumper, distributed candy canes and presented a gift to the
student who thought of sending the cards. 408 Tactical Helicopter
Squadron of Edmonton provided the helicopter.
3 PPCLI forms the infantry base for the Immediate Reaction Force
(Land), a standing NATO task for Canada's Army to provide a
high-readiness, combat-capable land force designed to respond
quickly to overseas missions on order.
The Reaction Force for Operation Apollo is supported by all units within 1 Canadian Mechanized
Brigade Group and includes significant contributions from 3 PPCLI, 2 PPCLI, 1 Service Battalion, 1
General Support Battalion and 1 Combat Engineer Regiment.
The soldiers of the Immediate Reaction Force thank Canadians for the support and encouragement they
have given to their units and their families as exemplified by W.R. Frose School.

Dude, it only counts as sex if it is with another person...reaching down your snow suit and giving it a good whack does not constitute sex.

"reaching down your snow suit and giving it a good whack does not constitute sex."
Well...Canadians are lonely.....I think that actually does count there. Besides.....Who wants to open a zipper when it's that cold out!!!!

Or how come if you light up a joint in a downtown Vancouver bar, no one complains, yet the moment you light a cigarette, you are carted off to jail...
I guess they are simply more of lifes great mysteries ;)

"And what were you doing reading messages on the Canadian Department of National Defence website"
One word: Newfie.
Actually cuz a family friend, who was recruiter for the CAF, came knocking just after I finished the Univ. Degree (about 3 years ago) and mentioned looking at them for possible employment if my chosen career path was proving not up to what I expected ( current money is nice, but being stuck behind a desk all day is getting old, fast). So I give the site a gander now and then out of curiosity. *shrug* One of those great debates - do I sign away 5 years of my life on a whim, sleep in the freezing, wet cold, get paid crap and eat food even starving Africans would reject - or sit behind the desk wondering if I am actually doing anything meaningful with my life. That's why :)

Nope....Sign away 6-8 years and become a pilot. Then you can eat good food, sleep in a warm bed, and pick up all the chics!!!! "Carb Heat On....Carb Heat On.....Carb Heat On..."-Phil Polstra Clay
