normal friendly family guys, ready to leave at 2hrs notice, trained to kill with their little fingers, and fuelled up on testosterone is the local concern...

Erm, I think you'd find that the psychological assessment process weeds out guys likely to disembowel people with their pinkies in Timmies.

I think I'd sooner trust a coin toss than a "psychological assessment".

Doesnt strike me as the least stress free sort of lifestyle, but I hope you are right about the screening. Maybe Ultrarunner isnt the best mental image to have about JTF personnel

Do they undergo such a process?

On the assumption that they are the equivalent of SAS/SBS in the UK (I have no idea if they are) there was no such process in the UK in the mid 1990s. I accept that times may have changed.

I agree with the general point you are making.

Thread drift...

I know this guy

and he doesn't have much good to say about JTF2 and the way they operate.

That's not about individuals, is it?

Given your track record, I'd lose the coin.

They are bullying landowners in their new location in NE Trenton too. Not sure if the crown has expropriated the land of Frank Meyers yet or not. Its been farmed by his family, (one of the founding families of Belleville) for more than 200 years, since being given it by the crown in fact. There's irony.

We'll, if you're going to invade somewhere, I guess a bit of practice helps.

Loads of places in and around Vancouver in the top 20. Is it because of all the rain? We've had lots the past 2 days and I have felt like doing something violent too.
