GEN_Rizzit | Welcome and thank you for attending this limited edition of the Vast Empire's Meeting |
GEN_Rizzit | This is Memorial Day weekend so be sure and pay some form of tribute if possible to those veterans that sacrificed their lives for you to make this a better world. |
GEN_Rizzit | Now, onto the Army report |
GEN_Rizzit | I would like to make a note on reports before I get too far into the meeting. Reports are due EVERY WEEK wether you have something to report on or not. Troopers report to the Squad Leader and they in turn report to the Platoon Commander who should in turn report to the Army High Command. |
GEN_Rizzit | This should not be any big shock to any of you, yet for some reason we seem to be having communication difficulties along the lines. It is VERY important that reports get sent and also sent on time. Especially as the reports are higher on up the chain...they contain more information and possibilities of rewards for other members so they NEED to be turned in. Let's try to improve on this in the coming weeks! |
GEN_Rizzit | so with that said |
GEN_Rizzit | The two competitions are going along at a steady pace. Storm as previously announced was extended to June 8th (not August 6th for those that were confused). Wildcard has not made any such exceptions so they will be ending at their scheduled time unless something else comes up. |
GEN_Rizzit | I am pleased with a lot of the submissions of posts, games, graphics, and other such things that we have seen as a result of this competition and would like to remind the Squad Leaders and up that while you have some EXCEPTIONAL people contributing to this competition please bear in mind to hold off on any and all promotions/medals until AFTER the competition unless in a EXTREMELY special circumstance. |
SML_KO_CHM_Cosmic | Just a quick note on reports. |
SML_KO_CHM_Cosmic | The reports are more of a life line for the Corps now than they were before. |
SML_KO_CHM_Cosmic | The AHC have begun to take steps on making slight amendments to how things work in the Corps so that one position doesn't undermine the duties of another. |
SML_KO_CHM_Cosmic | The Chain of Command (hierarchy) makes the reports important because the AHC doesn't see individual reports or squad-level reports. The only thing we see are the Platoon Commander's reports, and if we don't receive those, then it's difficult for us to keep tabs on the details and efforts of those at the squad level. |
SML_KO_CHM_Cosmic | So, as a reminder, PC reports most definitely need to be submitted because it allows us (the AHC) to come up with an overall Army report. If you're a PC and not able to send in your report because of whatever (on leave, sick, etc.), then you need to make sure that your PA knows about that so he/she can turn in a report. |
SML_KO_CHM_Cosmic | That's my two cents. |
GEN_Rizzit | Thanks boss |
GEN_Rizzit | That is all the Corps have to report on this week so I will now turn things over to Lt. Commander arturus of the Navy who will report on the exciting happenings over there. |
LCM_Arturus | Alright I have a number of things to report on this week so bare with me for a minute or two. |
LCM_Arturus | First, I'd like to take the opportunity to congratulate a number of members who received promotions this week |
LCM_Arturus | Tinker and Bjorkfrid both received perfect scores on their SA exams and have been promoted to Petty Officer Second Class. They are also Viper Squadron's new Flight Leaders so congratulatiosn to them |
LCM_Arturus | *congratulations |
LCM_Arturus | Also, congratulations to two of our more senior members, Ibram Tyrol and Bacredi, who received their full commissions are now have the rank of Second Lieutenant |
LCM_Arturus | And my apologies as a correction, I misread one thing. Tinker has been promoted to PO1 so congratulations on that |
LCM_Arturus | It appears different information appears in two places so I'll get on that. Also, in the coming weeks you can expect to see a number of changes rolling out of my office aimed at both efficiency and fun and activity so look forward for those |
LCM_Arturus | Finally, I wanted to echo some of the things said by the army about reports |
LCM_Arturus | It is essential that you all submit your reports on time to your Squadron Commanders, and that they in turn pass this on to us. It is in your interests to submit these reports because they are our reference for future promotion consideration. Have you been active for a while and not gotten a promotion? Go back and check your record on reporting. |
LCM_Arturus | It's worth taking the time and it helps us both recognize you and adjust where needed to improve activity |
LCM_Arturus | Also, in stories and in your interaction with VE members in general it's important that you respect your fellow members. This shouldn't need to be said but I just want to emphasize that you consider other people when chatting or when making story posts. Everyone has a certain comfort zone and space that needs to be respected so take note of that |
LCM_Arturus | Finally, I've wired 25,000 ics to Tinker and Calad for being the only enlisted navy members to show up to today's meeting |
LCM_Arturus | Sorry Ibram but you're a full officer now so you lose this perk ;) |
LCM_Arturus | That is all |
GEN_Rizzit | thank you Lt. Commander |
GEN_Rizzit | if anyone has anything to add PM me now |
GEN_Rizzit | no? Allright then |
GEN_Rizzit | Have a good week everyone and enjoy your holiday tomorrow at the very least! |
