Hello there, Crewman. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Bacredi, I will be your trainer whilst you are here at the academy. We will be helping you through Basic Training, commonly called Flight School, FS, BT, or the Academy. Flight School is composed into three chapters, Chapter One: Character Development, Chapter Two: Pilot Procedure, Chapter Three: The Squadron, and last but not least, the Aviator's Exam. Once you have finished and been passed on these Chapters we will place you into one of the active squadrons. Lets start with the basics - Chapter One. You need to make a biography for your character (Good examples are Jegora Fal's and Ibram Tyrol's Biographies.) Once you have finished your biography you may post it on this topic. But remember - your biography is only a rough sketch of your character and should be expanded when given the time. If you have any questions, catch any member of the staff around IRC or send them a PM (Personal Message). Now, if you have any questions, or if you want to meet any of our other members you can hop onto IRC (Internet Relay Chat), or you may send any member of the staff a PM (Personal Message). There are many other communications methods for reaching the staff in that page as well. Once you have finished Basic Training, you shall be placed into one of the active squadrons. Catch you around sometime, Crewman.

Zippy, it is requested that once a member of the VENA staff has replied to a recruit's message, that you do not post on their thread until they have completed Flight School, please respect that.

Height:6'3

Skin color:olive
hair color:dark brown
Home planet:Tatooine
Personal Biography:I was born into a good family,with my mother,my father,and me.My father was serving in the Imperial Navy at the time,and my mother stayed home to look after me.
At age 3,during my father's final term in service,he was killed in battle.Which left only my mother to look after me,she had to get a job and hire someone to watch over me.I don't remember much of that time,just that my baby-sitter was very young.
One day while my mother was at work,I was kidnapped by rodian thugs.They had hated my father.When they found out he had died,they decided to get revenge for all of the trouble he'd caused,so,I was off with them,and worked as a slave until age 8.
Then they discovered that I had natural abilities for Pod Racing.
They then decided to sell me to a Wookie Pod Racing Clan on Kashyk.There I had to learn to speak their language before I was to start racing.But I was a quick learner.I soon started racing until age 16.
I ran away,stashed in a tie fighter.But unfortunately,he wasn't headed for battle,he was headed to fight!He didn't last long,however,because he had hit his head on the controll after taking a hit.I didn't know what to do,I had to take the controls,I had no actually fighter experience,but I had studied the controlls, I ended up making it to safety on a large imperial base,where I have been living up to now.

I liked it
But there is a few things that need to be cleared up:
1 : You need to add your species.
2 : While your spelling was good, you need to make sure you add spaces after commas and periods (such as "At age 3,during..." should be "At age 3, during...")
3 : Here we don't really use tabs. We just do space after every paragraph.
It may sound like I'm being harsh, but i'm not. It's a good start, but it needs to be expanded.
Nice

Ok, you pass, just a warning though, as you will learn in the future sections of Flight School, there really isn't all that much space in a TIE fighter to stow away in. However if you changed it to something along the lines of him being a recon pilot, who pressed you into service once he found you stowed away, and you were on a long range recon fighter, it would work better. I look forward to reading your chapter two assignment Crewman. And again, good work.

It's not bad Twin, however, a small amount of added detail would help in giving us the perception of how these maneuvers are performed.
Remember, the more detail you write about, not only will it enhance your writing abilities, but it will give your audience a better view of what you are talking about. That leads to a better overall story and satisfaction.

barrel role:Initiate a barrel roll by slightly rolling while applying some pitch.
Description:The barrel role is one of the more popular tactical manuevers. It is used to escape enemy fire, missils, and possible collision with other objects.
Brake turn:Initiate a brake turn by turning on the side, and sharply applying pitch.
Description:A very useful tactic to use when in a dog fight. Used to evade enemies,by out turning them.

Good try Twinblades, but I'm going to need you to redo this, the format you should use can be found at http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/index.php?title=Naval_ID_Lines
You have your self down as a Naval Training Officer, you are actually a Trainee, if you need any further help you can PM myself or one of the other Operators/Trainers. I would recommend one of the others, because I will be working most of today and will probably not get back to you until late tonight or very early tomorrow.
Also I would like more about your training in your report.

Also, I have a problem with the comnet, a couple of Trainies are horsing around. I think they should be booted.

Your report is acceptable. You may now take the Aviator's Exam. When you are finished, send it to myself for marking.
P.S.: We don't boot people because they don't have as much time on their hands as others. Basic Training isn't a race, it is here to help you become accustomed to the Navy and how it works.
