Apropros of nothing special going on.

BBC NETWS Asia-Pacific Playboy airwoman relieved of duty

This story is interesting [apart from the obvious] for what it does not say.

I have to wonder how this lady lasted so long in the military, especially given her job description, what with the history of harassment and assaults over the years.
Could be the lady was just lucky, or was able to deal with whatever came her way better than others, or the Air Force has a different approach to female staff.
I also wonder if it was time for her to leave the Air Force and decided to go out in a blaze of glory [her 15 minutes] and lots of retirement dollars.
What ever, good for her.
I wonder if any thought has been given to sending the sergeant over to Iraq to train the Iraqi army or police………….No, guess not.

Hear on CBC radio a report of another related story. One of a woman, a 15 year veteran of the RCMP, who is suing the RCMP and the federal Government for sexual harassment over those 15 years. Can’t find the link, but it is there some place.
Update: link for above story http://www.thestar.com/Unassigned/article/170942 Not CBC but same story.

We sure have the January weather now, been down to -26c with -37c wind chills. It is with us into next week it seems, will harden the ice up. Hope they are getting it south of here too, people want to get out into the country for hunting and wooding.
