..And here I was thinking this was going to be another one of those 'Name a time when you went above and beyond' or"when did you work under stress for an extended period of time'

Side note: I would have thought that fighter pilots would be clean-shaven due to the O2/Comm mask requirements?

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1

There's probably a point in full scale war where no one cares that much about the small non priorities. It makes sense when you're training and drilling because it burns it into your memory so you just live that way without thinking.
