[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Greeting everyone and welcome to another Vast Empire Weekly Meeting. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | We have a little bit of pomp and circumstance to deal with in the Army, and the Naval HC is here in force so I'm sure they have lots of things to talk about. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | On the Army side of things, the Wildcard competition wrapped up last week. Arnaut seems to not be here today, so look for something from him on Comnet later today or tomorrow regarding that. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Now for the aforementioned pomp and circumstance. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | One of the Army's medals that has been neglected lately is the Star of Sesswenna. The Star of Sesswenna is granted to stormtroopers who have been in service for a very long time. It is for loyal, persistent and dedicated members only. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Cosmic has seen fit to bestow this medal upon several of our members. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | None of whom are present today, but I'll put their names up anyway: Sniping101, Aeos, Sandwich Sam, Kiption and Rizzit. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Congratulate them (Snipes excluded) when you see them. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Wrapping up Army news this week is the fact that effective immediately after this meeting I will be taking up the Company Commander position. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | The last few weeks I've been searching for my replacement as Storm PC. During this time I had conversations with several overly qualified candidates, all of which impressed me greatly. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | That being said, I hereby announce that Platoon Sergeant Jegora will assume the post of Storm Platoon Commander. His experience both on the NHC and as an SL I feel will benefit Storm. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Pass your congratulations on to him. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | The very last bit is a shuffle in the command staff of Paladin Squad. Due to real life complications, Luckystar has decided to step aside and give official command of the squad to AlanRJ. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | I expect great things from his tenure as SL. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | I understand that Captain Denethor has the Naval report this week? |
CAPT_Denethor|DJK_Otto_Vox | That I do |
| * [SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel passes the conch shell to Denethor |
CAPT_Denethor|DJK_Otto_Vox | Good afternoon. As most of you know, last week Training Officer Bacredi resigned from his position. This left Japheth and I with quite the predicament on our hands. However, soon after Bacredi stepped down we decided to bring Ensign Stormz back into service and appointed him as the new Naval Training Officer and promoted him to 2nd Lieutenant. So congrats to him are in order when you see him |
CAPT_Denethor|DJK_Otto_Vox | I am sure that his time as the NTO will be a good one, as he and his staff are already looking into what needs to change to keep the Academy and the Navy flourishing |
CAPT_Denethor|DJK_Otto_Vox | As for the squadrons this week, they are pretty much in the same state as they were last week, most folks reporting in and staying active, and the squadrons are still working on their own stories, and doing very well from what I've seen |
CAPT_Denethor|DJK_Otto_Vox | We have a bit of our own pomp and circumstance this week in the form of two medals |
CAPT_Denethor|DJK_Otto_Vox | Ensign Ibram Tyrol, SC of Viper squadron has asked that two of his pilots be awarded for their exceptional service as of late. So I would like to award Tinker with the Merit Cross First Class for being indespensible to her SC. And also the Merit Cross Second Class to bjorkfird for her work as a Viper Flight Leader, both with her flight and the squadron as a whole |
CAPT_Denethor|DJK_Otto_Vox | And two updates on two other positions within the Naval Command: the position of the Naval Commander in Chief Adjutant will remain vacant until Japheth decides otherwise. However, we are in the midst of deciding who should take the reins from myself as Wing Commander. So look for that in the next few weeks |
CAPT_Denethor|DJK_Otto_Vox | That is all |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | Thanks Captain. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | If anyone has anything else to add, please PM me now. |
[SI]Phoenix[1LT]Angel | If not, then I declare this meeting adjourned. Drive safe. |
