Ladies and Gentlemen of the Navy,

I have created this thread in order to post roster changes, awards, promotions, and other Navy related material from week to week. It will be locked to replies from anyone but myself and Japheth. But you should definitely look at it every week to see who's gotten what rewards/promotions, or any other general Navy business that you may feel you need to know.

So for this week, August 17th, 2008, rewards are as follows:

Leading Crewman Mellainius is promoted to Senior Crewman for consistent posting and activity.

Petty Officer 1st Class Kane has been awarded the Merit Cross 1st Class for continual contributions to Nazgul Squadron.

Petty Officer 1st Class Blue-Leader has been awarded the Star of Valor for his very good work on the Nazgul website.

Crewman Darkman has passed his AE and has been placed as Nazgul 1-3


And also, in the last couple weeks we have lost quite a few members, so we seriously need to step up recruiting. To encourage more of this, I will be awarding medals and IC's to those who bring in consistent members. We need people in the ranks in order to keep our Division, and overall this club, going. We all have fun here, let's get more people in on it.

Crewman Xam has passed his AE with distinction, promoted to Senior Crewman, and has been placed as Kaph 1-2.

Leading Crewman Sovern has been promoted to Senior Crewman for continued dedication to Kaph.

However, Sheogarth, Prospective, Thadon, X-Factor and Van have been placed on AWOL.


Also, look forward to a Holiday Squadron Competition to start next Tuesday!!!

I would like to extend a welcome back to Petty Officer 2nd Class Aleia Dreycon, Petty Officer 1st Class Mira O'Riley, Chief Petty Officer Anden Beliam, and Chief Petty Officer Sicario. Aleia has been placed in Nazgul, and the other three have gone back to Viper.

Also, new recruits Leading Crewman Arnold, and Senior Crewman FallenAngel have been placed in Kaph.

AND
Senior Crewman Mellainius has been awarded with the Merit Cross 2nd Class for outstanding commitment to Nazgul in its last story. Also because of his continuous and outstanding writing in that story he has been promoted to Petty Officer 2nd Class. Congrats.

Also, Petty Officer 2nd Class Kane has been promoted to Petty Officer 1st Class for outstanding leadership in the absence of his SC. Congrats to him as well.



LOOK FOR THE COMPETITION ON TUESDAY EVENING!!!

Senior Crewman Slasher has been promoted Petty Officer 2nd Class
Senior Chief Petty Officer Bacredi has been promoted to Master Chief Petty Officer

Crewman Twinblades has passed BT and has been placed as Nazgul 1-2
Crewman albinostorm has also passed BT and has been placed as Kaph 2-4

Before Slasher went on reserves for the short period of time, he took his SAE and I have been informed that he passed with 100% marks. This means that his is hereby promoted to Chief Petty Officer. Congratulations to him!

Also, expect some changes in the next week, and the selection for NTO will be announced at the end of the week as well!

Lady's and Gentlemen of the Navy,

Due to many different factors within the Navy, activity and members wise, the Navy High Council has decided to implement the plans of Lt. Commander Arturus to consolidate the squadrons from 12 pilot, 3 Flight squadrons, to 16 pilot, 4 Flight squadrons. This consolidation calls for one of the squadrons to close and its members to be placed into the other 2 squadrons. Should we receive the numbers necessary, opening a third squadron with 16 pilots will open up more leadership opportunities with the addition of 3 more flights than we have now. We have decided that Kaph will be the squadron to close. Should it be necessary to reopen a squadron, Kaph will be that squadron.

This is what the roster now looks like. I have italicized the members of Kaph that have been moved.

Please look for your new placements and both change your ID lines and report to your new commanders.


Also welcome back Petty Officer 2nd Class Max Fagron, who has been placed as Nazgul 15

As some of you know from being on IRC last night, Catachan has been banned from the Vast Empire until further notice, the charges are sexual harassment and insubordination. I want it to be known that his actions are completely intolerable, and even if he had not also committed insubordination, he would have been banned. A large part of the reason that we are all in this club is that it's a place that we can go to feel safe and around friends, and when someone attacks a person's lifestyle the way that Catachan did, it will be dealt with harshly every time.




On a different matter, for future reference Ensign Bacredi has all of the authority to speak for the rest of the NHC when Japheth and I are not around - which I know is frequently - and anyone that disobeys him will be punished dearly. He is a member of the Naval High Council, and he deserves all of the same respect his colleagues.

Ensign Stormz is hereby ordered to report to his post as the new Naval Training Officer and is promoted to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant upon assumption of the position. He will be granted the various relevant administrative privileges involved in that position. Please join me in congratulating him, and assist him with the Academy if you're called to duty.

Evenin folks,

Earlier today Willt and I took on the task of cleaning up the Roster a little bit. Mainly the section of the Payscale of Naval Positions. There were about a dozen positions that no longer had any purpose. Along with a few that even I had never seen in use, which means that they were pretty damn old.

So what I mainly deleted were the level 3 and 4 Trainer and Operator positions for the Academy, a couple advisor positions, chief of staff, special agent, special agent in charge, and a few others that I just looked at and went "no".

I also added a couple for the purpose of the CSS, which include Ship Exec Officer and Capital Ship Exec Officer. Those can be checked out on the Payscale section of the Roster.

Don't worry. We didn't change anything in the ranks


Also cleaned up the CSS section of the roster, allowing for the addition of ship names in the Task Force. We will also be getting the CSS story up soon. Waiting for the Wing story to end to get that up. So be prepared for epicness.

Ok folks,

Obviously you all know that Atrasin has stepped down from both the Wing Commander and Squadron Commander positions and has left the Navy.

This has left both of these positions open.

Over the last few hours, Shazam, Will and I have been discussing who would be best in these two positions. So after careful deliberation we've decided to place 2nd Lieutenant Jaden as Wing Commander of Javelin Wing, and Master Chief Petty Officer Drac of Nightshrike.

Congratulations to these two fine gentlemen. I know that you will both do us proud!

Rewards, Rewards, Rewards...

Couldn't make the meeting today, so here goes -

Promotions:

Tinker- Promoted to Warrant Officer 1st Class for her outstanding work in setting up the sideboards while the roster was down recently, as well as her continued assistance in fulfilling the duties as Squadron Executive Officer of Rhegent's Reign.

Amacuse- Promoted to Senior Chief Petty Officer for his consistent and ongoing activity, as well as fulfilling his duties as Squadron Flight Leader of Delta Flight in Tuk'ata.

Medals:

Romanflame - Awarded the Victory Cross, Blue Trim [VC:B] For his persistence in working on a very unique side story entitled, "Snatch and Grab," during the server issues, as well as his consistent activity in shaping the Navy with his ongoing writing.

Slasher, Amacuse, Rocketman1167- Awarded the Meric Cross Second Class for their consistent activity within their squadron, as well as their work within the Naval Academy (Amacuse/Rocketman).

Imperial Guardian:

Since his return, Ruwe has taken quite the initiative in his squadron to get some posting going squadron wise, as well as a personal story including himself and others. His advice to other squadron members and his efforts to boost squadron morale have also contributed towards his acquirement of the Imperial Guardian for the month.

Stop by and congratulate each of them on a job well done, they are all well deserved.

Keep up the great work pilots.

Due to the state of the Navy, and inactivity with, Ghost Fleet has been officially closed. Once the Starfighter Corps is running properly again, the CSS will be reopened with myself as the commander.

In light of the holiday, I suppose I'll go ahead and hand out a few rewards.

Petty Officer 1st Class Undertaker is hereby promoted to Master Chief Petty Officer per recommendation for his continued contributions to the squadron, and his role in leadership as a Flight Lead. That also goes to say that he will receive the Star of Valor [SoV] for aiding his squadron leadership team and for organizing the archives as well.

PO1 Maroy is awarded the Imperial Guardian [IG] for the month of December, and the Merit Cross 1st Class [MC1] for her outstanding service as a flight member in Rhegent's Reign, and her continued activity overall.

That being said, keep up the great work pilots.
