Looks like I won't be leaving after all. Real Life is so complicated... anyway, I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, in the new system. Looks like I'm Cali's XO?

I'll stick with RR, I was just a bit confused. Thanks. So I report to Amacuse as usual?

This is CPO Casca btw, if you ever see this account it is because I sometimes forget to switch over.

Part 1

Okay Guys, if you all want to get creative I'd love to hear some second fleet mascots or mottos. And I know you all love to get humorous with it, but something professional would really spark a nerdgasm with me.

My proposal is something I picked up in the Air Force when I was in ROTC in college.

Integrity, Service, Excellence

The air force core values are Integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do.

Integrity - Doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.
I love this because it calls each individual to be responsible for himself and cuts out excuses. We all know what our duties are and we need to hold ourselves accountable for them.

Service before Self - Sacrifice! This pertains to both duty obligations and moral obligations.  When someone is sick, we put some time aside to see how they are feeling.  If someone needs help, we take personal time out of our lives to give them aide.

Excellence - Let's face it, this is what we strive for.  Excellence in writing, excellence in service, and excellence in our positions.  I take this site seriously, I don't consider it a hobby(nor do I consider it a job).  I consider the VE as I would a club at school or a sports team. We all have to show up for practice and give 100 percent for our teammates.

If you don't like the motto that's fine, but these three words have help me achieve many goals in my life and I hope you take them to heart.

-----------------------------
Part 2

As the VE is a writing organization I would like to bring something to the table that I hope everyone can appreciate.

Literary techniques

I love these, it is what makes the difference between a dry post and something you can read two or three times. I won't elaborate because I know we are all intelligient to know what these are.

Alliteration
Gerrund Phrases(okay these feel free to use google for)
Similies
Analogies
Metaphors

Once again, just something to look into that may or may not improve your writing.

----------------------------------
Part 3

Welcome to all the returning/new members. I look foreward to working with everyone.

----------------------------------------

Part 4

Skype, if you have one, post your skype name so we can start communicating better, I know everyone can't keep switching over to irc to talk and it creates problems when  writing posts.  I would love to start communicating in voice chat with my fellow fleet members.

End

@Casca: Aim High!  Fly, Fight, Win!

@Everyone else: Alright, since I've been gone for like, ever... ummm... what's going on in the timeline right now?

Hrm... I guess it couldn't hurt to post here at least one or twice.

Who's got a new shiny metal body, this guy!


Skype is kwcummings, if I don't answer I'm not around.

Bah, been running into a few things that have been preventing me from getting online much. Having to transition to a life as a single man with a child isn't the easiest thing anyone ever did.

Ya'll have my word that there will be a post moving the 2nd Fleet scenario further towards briefing.

Oh, and my Skype account is joseph.lee.pohlman

Keep on Keepin' on guys

The VEN story if for the entire Navy, Ruwe.

*pokes Stewart, Roman, and Slasher*

Anyone awake?

@Slash: Interesting, what you've done with your turbolasers. I think I'll keep mine standard, though. Our Wardens aren't meant to get into heavy combat anyway.

-Drac

I'm here, it just takes me longer to write my posts and get them up.

Okay, how many times now have we resurrected Nightshrike? Anyway, it looks like we're switching to only four people per squadron, so does that mean the rest are NPCs?

this is more of a 1st Fleet thing, but right now there's just us smelly NHC folk there, so...

Recruit Trykon is passed from the Academy into Active Service.

he is also promoted to SCRW, and will be temporarily posted to the Hammer

if you haven't already welcomed him, do so.

Driver slides a large glass of the Green Stuff to Trykon

Drinky, drinky rookie.

yeh take Drac's advice...he used to be much worse before he became a talking fish

You guys were on the Dead Gun as I recall? Since the party got started, or is starting, Stormz'll probably want you to go ahead and post about the enemy launching fighters, then launch RR in response.

-Drac

It's probably your own fault Jaden. Like it or not, these guys are our superior officers and it is our duty to obey them. I may not have liked the way you were written out of the story, but I understand the reason why it was done. I agree with what Atrasin did. I hope you continue to remain an active part of the Navy though.

No need to be rude... I am trying to help you.

Also, if you don't care what I have to say, why are you responding to my posts?
