I test Video Games on a day to day basis. That's not my career however, I'm actually a audio composer for Video Games. :)

Thanks, appreciated.

Is going to cadets a requirement or a huge advantage? I'm learning to fly outside of the Air Cadets, and likely going to university at Mount Royal to continue my training. I have been planning to do a commercial career, but joining the Air Force has attracted my interest and I want to make sure I'm making the right decisions.

If you can get in, I would say go to the military, as you don't need to pay for your hour building. I have to pay all my flying lessons by my own, and don't have a job when finished. If you can get in any cadet scheme, military or cicilian, go for it, will help you a lot, as it is often cheaper or even paid for and your chances for a job afterwards are better....

Were you the guy in Hurt Locker? I liked that movie. :D


That movie was an overdone piece of rubbish that does not portray EOD's real mission. No offense. :>

I'd recommend this.

My job is to tell other people how to do their job better, even though I've never done their job.

I'm studying to be a radiologic technologist. Currently studying for the boards- exam is in August.


Radiation Safety Officer
Radiation Health Physicist
Radiologic Technologist

Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Cardiology
Positron Emmision Technologist

Bachelor - Business Administration
Master - Management
Master - Radiologist Assistant
PhDc - Higher Education (Research - Student affairs)

I am a retired Radiation Safety Officer and Manager of a Nuclear Medicine Lab. I taught Business, management, research methodology, statistics, and Field data collection at a small university and Physics and nuclear cardiology at a small college.

Aryn Fox - I would suggest the SAIA Review book ('The yellow book'). It comes with a disc and you can practic taking the exam until you are mind drained but you will be ready for the test.

Sorry to hear.

Well, when you have a job, having all the free time starts to look attractive.
Then when you have no job, having all the free time is depressing.

You get used to it after 16 years :D

And yeah, you are right. Some people are jealous, untill you explain how hard it is to fill a day.
