Mounties.
I was reading the CBC news website this morning (it's a slightly less league-biased source of news on the state of the NHL labor dispute than, say, nhl.com) and noticed a story that mentioned an RCMP volunteer being killed in a car accident. In reading the article, I discovered something I hadn't been aware of: the RCMP has an unpaid volunteer auxiliary, members of which work side-by-side with regular officers.
Of course, I immediately thought, "Ooh! Ray!" and headed over to the RCMP website to learn more about auxiliary officers. It turns out that they're only active in the provinces, not the territories (so all you gotta do is get Fraser assigned to northern BC or Alberta and you're golden...) but, of course, you can't just look up one thing on the RCMP website and then leave...
Which is how I wound up clicking around until I found the recruit FAQ. Particularly, this question:
Q: I wrote the Six Factor Personality Questionnaire (SFPQ) before June 28th, 2004. Will my results be re-calculated to include my Conscientiousness score?
Which just made me giggle. It's always fun when stereotypes turn out to be a little bit true...
