GG_Fury | Welcome to a glorious Vast Empire meeting. |
GG_Fury | Today is Trooper Appreciation Day, where we take time to honor our front line troops and all the excellent work they do for us. |
GG_Fury | Chapter 8.5 Phase II nears completion for the Corps and I want to thank you all for the good job you have done. |
GG_Fury | Some squads had major personnel changes over the past couple months and I appreciate you all getting yourselves sorted into some semblance of fighting form. |
GG_Fury | As a programming note, anyone who has the Navy report can PM me to get recognized and give said report later in the meeting. |
GG_Fury | First off, however, some of our squads have been doing great jobs and some of our members are going above and beyond the call of duty. |
GG_Fury | I have some squad recommendations to pass out, followed by a list of those duly deserving members that General Cosmic has compiled for our public recognition. |
GG_Fury | So, I believe I have taken out the duplicate awards but I may have screwed up a bit, so forgive me. Some of you will be receiving multiple awards so please stay up here on the dais after I call your name. Who knows? You might get recognized again. |
GG_Fury | Alright, let's begin. |
GG_Fury | First off, I would like to recognize that some of our vets have come out of retirement or come back from long leaves. Some are in the reconstituted Jester squad, others have gone back to their old home units. Give those folks a thank you for coming back into the fold. |
GG_Fury | We have also seen some amazing activity from some recent recruits. It is stunning really and testament that our best days still remain before us. |
GG_Fury | Now let me see who is actually here.... |
GG_Fury | Blackout, while not very, very new to us, you have shown great activity of late and your squad leader has noticed. You are hereby promoted to Lance Corporal. |

| * PFC_Blackout Salutes |
GG_Fury | Saphira Striker, you have in one week almost qualified for a posting medal. Actually, I might have to go back and check later today just in case. |
GG_Fury | In any event, this is an amazing achievement for your first week with us. You have been requested and approved for a rare double promotion and I award you the rank of Corporal. Congratulations. |
| * GG_Fury salutes |
| * PFC_Saph salutes |
GG_Fury | You are also awarded the Emperor's Shield [ES1] - The standard excellence award of the Vast Empire Stormtrooper Corps, it may be bestowed for any outstanding service. |
GG_Fury | Others in your squad have also been singled out for recognition. |
GG_Fury | Among them are Rike Malen, who is promoted to Lance Corporal for his eagerness and willingness to improve. |
GG_Fury | Jersh is also recognized with a promotion to Corporal and an Emperor's Shield 1st Class as well. |
GG_Fury | Thank you for all your hard work. |
GG_Fury | Over in the ARC squad, they have successfully completed their first mission in quite some time and awards and recognition await those members as well. |
GG_Fury | And here's the bossman |
GM_Kadann | Thanks Fury |
GG_Fury | It is a shame that those ARC members not being recognized are in the channel at the moment. |
GG_Fury | I will quickly list their names and the awards earned by them. |

GG_Fury | Give all those folks a big congratulations and thanks when next you see them. |
GG_Fury | Moving on, as I mentioned earlier, Cosmic has done a lot of work looking to see who has been active and deserving of a medal. |
GG_Fury | Alright, I apologize for the shopping list format but this is a lot of people and more proof that the Army is on its way to new moments of glory |
GG_Fury | Incidentally, for those not familiar with the STC manual, you can find it at the following URL: http://stc-manual.stormtroopercorps.com/medals.html |

GG_Fury | Keep up the good work and keep that training going. That's from the bossman since he had to go, so consider that an order. |
GG_Fury | :D |
GG_Fury | Alright, still looking for a Naval report. |
GG_Fury | But before that, I know one of our former members decided to burn a bridge on his way out. |
GG_Fury | Most of you have seen the post and the thread that followed it. |
GG_Fury | I'd like to keep that discussion going if anyone feels the need to address some issues. |
GG_Fury | Let's at least make some good out of the bad of that incident. |
GSG_Giovanni | Well, if i may, Fury |
GG_Fury | Sure thing. |
GSG_Giovanni | I think this meeting today, and this torrent of promotions and activity in the last month or so negates any negative remark Yillis put up in that post. |
GG_Fury | Well, this has been in the works for a couple weeks so please do not think we just tossed this together over the past few days. |
GG_Fury | As I said earlier, this has been a long time coming and I'm glad we could recognize so many of you. |
GG_Fury | But thank you. |
GG_Fury | Anyone else? |
GG_Fury | Oh, another note. The request for a promotion to Senior Flying Spaghetti Monster is denied. |
GG_Fury | Also, I am supposed to tell you that Eclipse owns. Do with that knowledge what you will. |
CPL_Alater | HOORAH! |
GG_Fury | Also, Imperial Center is looking to go into the vice market. |
SFC_Hashi | *a voice in the background yells FSM SUCKS* |
GG_Fury | The VESA would like to make an announcement but I would request they hold off until tomorrow when I can properly stock their product. |
GG_Fury | It is a new age of sin, and Imperial Center is - as always - your purveyor of goods, even when they are bad for you. |
| * SFC_Darr-Rann runs up behind Fury waving a Raiders flag for a few moments, before the secret service takes him down |
GG_Fury | Crazy Raiders, Crazy People |
GG_Fury | On a serious note, Mr. VE has a comment to make. |
| * Mr_VE waves |
Mr_VE | I am proud to announce I am back for a season two |
Mr_VE | See it on the main today! |
Mr_VE | Thanks Fury |
GG_Fury | Not a problem. |
GG_Fury | Welcome back. |
GG_Fury | Alrighty then. The navy doesn't have anything explicit at the moment but I'm sure they post their version of Navy Notes when they miss a meeting just like the Army does. |
GG_Fury | I don't want to keep you from your day. My fantasy leagues are in trouble and I should watch the horror unfold. |
GG_Fury | Have a good week, and congrats to all those who earned awards. |
