This seems worth some cross-border attention in its own right. And leaves me wonder how our own air force here in Canada is doing at achieving the same goal.

Colonel Jeannie Leavitt, the Air Force's first female pilot, just racked up another first: she just became the first woman to take command of a fighter pilot wing. She will be in command of the Fourth Fighter Wing, in charge of 5,000 active duty men and women.

Congratulations, Colonel!

Sadly, we've lost another one.

Cpl. Reid was with the 1st Battalion, PPCLI, stationed in Afghanistan. Details at this CBC article.

The word got out the same day as the funeral services for Cpls. Gomez and Warren, apparently.

Meanwhile, the rotation program to bring in fresh personnel continues.
