First off, contrary to what you may expect from my first name I'm a guy, not a female.

I'm a Canadian citizen, born in Saskatchewan in 1956. I joined the military when I was 17 years old. I've served in various position in a infantry battalion. After five years I remustered to the Intelligence Branch where I served for the next 26 years. I retired in 2005 and now reside in Kingston, Ontario.

During my time in the military I was posted in all four western provinces, plus Ontario. I also had the pleasure of visiting many different countries (on holidays and "business") including the U.S., U.K., Germany, Bosnia, and Cyprus; plus a four-year tour at NATO Regional Headquarters in Naples, Italy.

My interests include reading, photography, and hiking.

Some of the articles I'm interested in include the ones on the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Communications Security Establishment and Ancient Rome. Over time I'm sure their will be others that will spike my interest.
