GG_Fury | Welcome to yet another Vast Empire meeting. |
GG_Fury | There is a keg chilling in the back and assorted snacks will be available once the meeting is over. |
GG_Fury | Whoever has any information regarded to any division may feel free to let me know at this time. |
GG_Fury | I am neck deep in real life job phone support issues this weekend and have not been able to read any of the army reports. |
GG_Fury | I am, however, close to releasing the mission op orders for a few of the Chapter 8.5 squad missions. |
GG_Fury | You should see at least one of those tomorrow. |
GG_Fury | Ah, Kairo has some quality Storm Platoon info for you. |
| * `1SGT_Kairo steps up to the stand. |
`1SGT_Kairo | That I do sir. |
`1SGT_Kairo | As some of you may have seen, Storm Platoon did a remarkable job yesterday on a special event I hosted. |
`1SGT_Kairo | In a single day, they posted 51 posts on a single story. |
`1SGT_Kairo | This kind of activity hasn't been seen for a long time, and due to the event, there are a few rewards I am handing out. |

`1SGT_Kairo | For your excellent activity yesterday, I am promoting you to Corporal. Good work. |

`1SGT_Kairo | Keep up the good work everyone. |
| * `1SGT_Kairo steps down. |
GG_Fury | Thanks Kairo. |
GG_Fury | One more thing though. |
GG_Fury | I have just been informed that you are eligible for the Silver Cross as you currently have 177 storynet posts. |
GG_Fury | So congratulations on that. |
| * GG_Fury salutes |
`1SGT_Kairo | Thank you sir. |
| * `1SGT_Kairo salutes |
GG_Fury | Thank you. |
GG_Fury | I understand more awards will be forthcoming and I apologize for not getting to the reports. |
GG_Fury | That said, I did want to recognize Kairo since he was standing here. |
GG_Fury | Alright, I wish I had more for you from the Army this week, but I do not. Keep posting, get your squads together and get ready for your mission orders in the coming weeks. |
GG_Fury | Can I get a witness from our Naval friends? |
| * CMD_Shazam apparates |
CMD_Shazam | If I must |
CMD_Shazam | I'd just like to say right off the bat- how bout all the Navy folks in the crowd? |
CMD_Shazam | I'm pretty happy about this- good to have people in the crowd today. |
GG_Fury | boo ya! |
| * CMD_Shazam and Fury exchange high-fives |
CMD_Shazam | Anywho- it's a good day to be in the crowd because... Dun dun, DUH! |
CMD_Shazam | A few of you folks might remember that we created this little medal for the academy that really hasn't been given out as it should: the Star of the Academy? Yes |
CMD_Shazam | Currently, I happen to have two recently passed recruits that, I believe, showed exemplary service in getting through BT, even with my absense making things difficult |
CMD_Shazam | Thus... |
CMD_Shazam | Would SCRW Sol please step forward? |
| * SCRW_Sol steps forward |
CMD_Shazam | For your excellent work in BT and immediate attention to your squadron I award you the Star of the Academy. |
| * CMD_Shazam salutes |
| * SCRW_Sol salutes |
CMD_Shazam | Thankyou- and would SCRW Strangler please come forward? |
| * SCRW_TheStrangler steps forward. |
CMD_Shazam | For your exemplary efforts to complete BT, even in my absense, and immediate catch-up status with your squadron: I award you the Star of the Academy. |
| * CMD_Shazam salutes |
| * SCRW_TheStrangler salutes. |
CMD_Shazam | Thankyou |
CMD_Shazam | Alright- note that this seems to have extended beyond the academy a bit |
CMD_Shazam | The point is this- the point of BT is to prepare you for Squadron activity, but really- that first week is still BT. If you can show me that you're going to kick some serious but in that first week: watch out cause I'm gunna hit ya back on the first, my brother. |
CMD_Shazam | Keep up the good work boys. |
CMD_Shazam | And one final bit of analysis that I can't believe has been overlooked for so long and is truly a mistake on our part as the Navy- we have to men that should be officers in here. |
CMD_Shazam | Or atleast 'Officer in Training' |
CMD_Shazam | Would Than Sion please step forward |
| * CWO_Than_Sion steps forward |
CMD_Shazam | For your role as intermediate commander of Kaph Squadron and your excellence on both Academy and RL exams: I promote you to the rank of Ensign |
| * CMD_Shazam salutes |
| * CWO_Than_Sion salutes, "thank you sir." |
CMD_Shazam | Take a seat, Commander |
| * CWO_Than_Sion sits back down. |
CMD_Shazam | Also, and I don't think he's here right now, but we have one other person who actually is a commander of a squadron and is only at the rank of WO2 |
CMD_Shazam | I know this is a bit unheard of, but I'd like to promote Trevor Evenson from the rank of WO2 to Ensign as well |
CMD_Shazam | there was a time when all of our commanders were officers- I'd like to come back to that trend. Trevor Evenson has shown remarkable flexibility in his roles and even greater determination when the stakes are high, particularly when dealing with the security of his fighter group. |
CMD_Shazam | Thus- we have two new officers. |
CMD_Shazam | Thankyou for your service. |
CMD_Shazam | In a general division report- I noted the Navy likes to go through these anual slumps |
CMD_Shazam | while that's true, we also like to go into ridiculous trends of activity |
CMD_Shazam | I'm not saying we're going to jump back into that just yet, but I can tell that activity is slowly returning to the groups as Summer nears |
CMD_Shazam | I've just spoken with Arturus a little while ago, and we'd like to refine some of the things in the ESC- supposing we have two competitive groups. That means that the folks that come in are going to have to stay and we'll want to be drawing old members back |
CMD_Shazam | If you guys can think of people who might want to include themselves in the Navy for the duration of the ESC- send 'em a quick message |
CMD_Shazam | "Hey- we're ganna have a bonfire, make some smores: you bring the drinks and it'll be a grand 'ol time." Something to that effect'll do just fine. |
CMD_Shazam | Other than that- I think I've wasted enough breath. |
CMD_Shazam | Thanks for havin me, Fury |
GG_Fury | No problem. |
GG_Fury | Congrats to all those who were promoted or won awards this week. |
GG_Fury | Thanks for putting forth the effort. |
GG_Fury | If there is nothing else, I'd like to conclude the meeting for this week. |
GG_Fury | Have a good one people. |
