Welcome. My name is James Douglas Mersereau and I live in Rome, New York, US.

I am a Officer in the Canadian Forces. My trade is Aerospace Control. Currently I am posted to the Eastern Air Defense Sector (EADS), North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

NORAD is a joint organization of Canada and the United States that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty, and defense for the two countries. It was founded on May 12, 1958 (an effect of the Cold War) as a joint command between the governments of Canada and the United States, as the North American Air Defense Command. Its main technical facility has been the Cheyenne Mountain Directorate, formerly Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center, of the Cheyenne Mtn. Air Force Station, Colorado; and for this reason NORAD is sometimes referred to as Cheyenne Mountain. In addition, the Canadian Sector Air Operations Control Centre is located at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) North Bay in Ontario, Canada.
