PSOAs Muscle

Webmaster's aside: I heard someone on tv last night talking about the Psoas muscle. It turns out that the Psoas forms part of a group of muscles called the hip flexors, whose action is primarily to lift the upper leg towards the body when the body is fixed or to pull the body towards the leg when the leg is fixed. What caught my attention was that it is spelled like our association and also that it is pronounced "sore ass"

After sitting through years of PSOA's AGMs, I think that form of pronunciation rather is quite fitting.

Lt(N) Bailey

Lt(N) Keith Bailey has received the CEF Commander's commendation.

The Command Commendation is awarded to members of the CF who perform a deed or activity beyond the demands of normal duty.

I hope you would join me in passing a Bravo Zulu to Keith in the performance of his duties under arduous conditions.

Fishin Accomplished

For the past 10 years or so, Majors Mombourquette, and Morrow and LCols Uchiyama and Grandmaison have gone fishing.

This year's trip was successful but as Major Brown pointed out, 'fishing should not be a fashion show'.
