I'm new and I'm awaiting assignment to a TO
Edit: I changed the topic name so that it does not bear resemblance to the threads of the troller known as "PilotStar"

Physical Appearance Homeworld: Coruscant Age: 21 Species: Human Native Language: Basic Gender: Male Skin Color: Tan/Dull Height: 1.9 meters Weight: 90 Kilgrams Hair Color: Black Facial Hair: Depends, lets his beard grow out to 1 centimeter before shaving Eye Color: Black Scars: None Tattoos: None Physical Description Although he appears wiry and thin, he has strenght and speed, which many say is unproportional to his body. Personality Quiet and calm. He also posesses a sharp mind although, as a side effect, he can be quite firm in his belief in his plans and unwilling to change away from them. He does not shy away from underhanded techniques and openly uses them. Character’s Background Asdhow Rowds was born to a fairly wealthy family on Coruscant. When he was six years old, he was very impressed with the celebrations and publicity of Navy pilots after the Second Battle of Ord Biniir. He from that day dedicated himself to learning naval tactics and subjects pretaining to naval operations. He passed all school subjects at the top of his class, although, to achieve this he had to find creative ways to fail his closest competitors. Attaining the age of 20, he married to a wealthy young girl from a neighboring family. However, on a trip on a C-3 Luxury Liner with his newly-wedded wife, their ship was boarded by pirates and they were marked by the pirates for public execution in front of the other passengers. The pirates first executed his wife. As they were about to execute him, Imperial marines boarded the ship and gave just enough time for Asdhow to escape away from the pirates. In the long firefight afterwords between the marines and pirates, Asdhow was severly injured by shrapnel from a thermal detanator that exploded in mid-air. These injuries caused Asdhow to have 4 month stint in the hospital, in whch he recieved many minor, inconpicious cybernetic replacements in almost all major organs. These various cybernetic implants gave Asdhow strenght unusual for his size. After being released from the hospital he joined the Vast Empire Navy, decidated never to allow another event like the one that happened to him ever again. He registered under the callsign Shadow-Sword. Wiki Page- OOC:
- I'm awaiting acceptance until I make my ID line and still awaiting the assignment of a TO. The wikipage is not complete but has most stuff filled in.

I used the SC format for the ID line. I hope that it is fine?
I'll update the wiki in a sec.
Also, is there or is there not an option to go into Command School? I read one thread that says yes, next one says no. Can you clear it up?

ID Line is good, you may move onto the simulation.
At this time there is no option to move onto command School, when this option was opened many new Trainees chose the CS option and the end result was an overall shortage of Squadron members; as such until further notice new members cannot get into Command School and so must go through Flight School and from there will be placed in a Squadron upon completion

I had a question on the Naval Certifications. Although it says you must complete one certification and then you may start on another, does this apply for Ship Certification? What I'm trying to ask is that if you started on "Bridge Officer" for your second certifcation and reached tier 2, could you start on the ship certification?

Sir, if you go t the wiki page for Naval Certifications there are four "normal certifactions" and then below them is VEWiki wrote:Rank Requirements for Ship Certification
Tier one (Minor Ship Captain) : Warrant Officer Second Class & Two Bridge Officer pre-requisites (4,500 word requirement)
Tier two (Ship Captain) : Second Lieutenant & Three Bridge Officer pre-requisites (5,000 word requirement)
Tier Three (Capital Ship Captain) : Commander & All Bridge Officer pre-requisites (5,500 word requirement)
However, if you notice that the rank requirement for Ship Certification Tier One and rank requirement for Second Certifcation Tier Two are the same. And so my orignial question stands. Are you allowed to start Ship Certification while you are working on your 2nd Certificaction or do you have to wait until you finish your 2nd Certification

I see what you're asking. In theory, the Certifications are meant to be completed one at a time. In practice, though, by the time you get to your Third Certification you'll have been an active Navy member for so long that the kind of thing you're describing (working on completing your Second Cert while starting your Third - the Ship Cert) is very possible. We're not slaves to form around here, although we do find our various structures helpful. Hope that answers your question.
For now, just follow Ellesmere's instructions, and I'm sure you'll graduate with flying colors.

To clarify (both for Trykon and Shadow-Sword) what the Certifications problem is, this is the way it is designed to work, although the program has not actually been implemented yet at this point.
The Ship Certification is actually separate from the primary program, and is attained in conjunction with, or as an alternate for, the Ship Captain Training Program. The reason for the same rank designation as Tier 2 for your second cert is that you must have completed two certifications to at least tier two in order to attempt the Ship Certification. Now the program has not really been used, mainly due to the fact that the majority of our ship captains have earned their commands via other means.
However, you have a fair amount of time before you reach that rank, so for now just concentrate on finishing up the academy.

You won't take it, that test has not been used for a long time. Following the completion of your first Raptor squadron story post you have entered a 1 week, (or adequate activity) proving period prior to your assignment to a squadron. During this time the following is expected/encouraged (reporting is required).
1) Starting a personal story covering your experiences during training or other activities prior to your graduation from training.
2) Posting on various topics in the Navy and General ComNets in a respectful manner, (mainly just don't piss anyone off)
3) Report. Your report is due to me no later than Friday at 23:59 (site time) as well as an activity report on the last day of your probationary period if you have not been passed prior. if you have any questions PM me through the ComNet.
Have fun, and stay active,
