Please excuse my lack of activity on this board; I've had my head in too many different places.  Never the less, it's not a fair excuse and you all should have been better warned.  Therefore, I'll be returning my attention to the VENA as well as assisting Nazgul while their commander's are away- I'll expect that we all put in equal portions of time to the Academy from now on, however.  That is, if we ever want to see another recruit pull through.  Shall we?

Here is my first attempt at my "greeting message" please give constructive critisism

Hello Crewman (Recruits Name Here),

I am Stormz, a member of the naval training staff. On behalf of the VENA, welcome to the academy.

If you haven't already noticed, the wiki page with all of our training information can be found here

During your training period, I also recommend you get onto IRC (Or Internet Relay Chat). Most active members are on the IRC channels regularly, so you will be able to find a friend or two in this place. To get onto IRC, either follow the "JavaChat" link from the main page (It's in the left hand column) or download an IRC client (e.g. mIRC) and follow the instructions in the Main Comnet forum.

Good luck

Operator Stormz


Let me know what you all think.
