Because of the recent tragedies in the USA, many of the Navy personell, particualarly high ranking officers, are temporarily inactive. Therefore, the Navy High Command is in tatters. Syth is away for a bit, and nobody else wants to take his shoes. I, as the highest ranking fully active officer in the Navy, have decided to TEMPORARILY assign personell with their orders. Here is what we will do: - Reports will not be sent to the Navy High Command until further notice. They will be sent to Warrant Officer 1st Class Tylen (Anakin). Tylen (Anakin) is an Acting Commissioned Officer, but has no power to give orders. - I am temporarily in command of the Defensive Fleet, which includes Kaph and Viper Squadrons. - Captain TJ is temporarily inactive. If, however, I am wrong (as I probably am), he is in temporary overall command of the Defensive Fleet, and I am the Acting Wing Commander. - When the Navy High Command sort themselves out, all this will be disbanded. Until then, this is the command structure: 1)  2nd Lieutenant Bear 2) Captain PJ (??) 3) Warrant Officer 1st Class Tylen Jaap 4) Kaph Squadron Commander: Petty Officer Cadet Riel Fury This will be disbanded and every officer returned to their places when an officer from the Navy High Command assumes the position of Navy Commander In Chief (temporaily) and publically announces it. Until then, Mr PJ, myself and Mr Tylen are head of the Naval Fleet. ** THIS IS NOT A MUTINY ** ** I AM THE MOST SENIOR ACTIVE OFFICER IN THE FLEET. THIS IS A NAVAL GENERAL ORDER FROM A COMMISSIONED OFFICER ** ** THIS GENERAL ORDER MAY ONLY BE CANCELLED BY MYSELF OR PJ. ALL POSITIONS WILL BE REASSUMED AFTER THE CRISIS ** ** THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE RECENT TROUBLES IN THE USA. GOD BLESS AMERICA. GOD BLESS THE VEN. ** ** SECTOR ADMIRAL MAJERE MAY ALSO TAKE COMMAND OF THE NAVY AS HE IS A NAVY OFFICER **

I also posted this on the Main Comnet, but it appears to have been deleted. Which is absolutely brilliant, because it means someone is still doing something. However, I do not know WHO, which is a major problem. Kaph Squadron has approx 15 pilots, and so is bigger than Viper.. which means Kaph is effectively the backbone of the Vast Empire Navy (while Viper is just the funny bone ). I lead Kaph, so I should therefore be one of the first to be informed of any leadership changes. However, Commander PJ is active, and so this general order is cancelled.

Kaph may have more members, but do you have ACTIVE members? It does you no good to have tons of members, if not many of them actually help out. For instace, Viper has their own desktop theme, and stays active. What does Kaph have? I'll tell you a commander and ONE active member who got promoted because he was the only one active!(No offense Riel!) When you can prove that you actually are superior to us, then I'll put up with some of your insulting posts against us (which aren't true half of the time).

Oh, one more note.. Leading Crewman Bear, I'd like to see you in my office. -RA(L) Vincent "Claw" Taurus Training Officer m-T/D STENDEK

I'm not "inactive"...I'm just VERY busy... Three school projects due in three weeks, football almost everyday for weeks (plus any homework I happen to get.) Even if I do get time, I have lots more things to do on top of that....(I've been home for half an hour today) I'll be able to keep track of everything going on and be somewhat helpful, but as far as commanding the navy temporarily (as fun as it sounds) count me out.

Now hold your horses. I haven't had any of my emails from Sythspawn returned lately. I have asked people who is active in the NHC, and it seems nobody is. Admittedly, I never thought to ask Talon. That was my mistake.. I completely forgot about him. Oh, and I don't want to run the navy. As fun as it DOES sound, I don't particularly want to get into all that nitty gritty politics that comes with it all. But what I DO want is to praise those members of my squadron who have shown their worth, and deserve to be praised. Kaek, for example, has deserved a promotion for a long time, and I was trying my best to advise it to the NHC. But I'm not waiting yet another 2 weeks to get a promotion authorised, because half the NHC are inactive. So I thought I'd authorise it myself, because I was given a commission in this Navy by the ex-Commander In Chief. Also on the topic of my unauthorised promotions, if you look at the Promotion Review section of the Navy manual, you'll notice I can promote MY pilots to 2 ranks below my own rank. I am a 2nd Lieutenant, and 2 ranks below me is Warrant Officer 1st Class. However, I have only made promotions to Warrant Officer 2nd Class (I think) and have been well within my rights. Now, back on the subject of the Navy inactivity. When Atrus was the leader, everything got done easily, quickly and efficiently. If there was some sort of emergency, for example, the NHC was always active and ready for it, and if they weren't, they'd get replaced. Easy as that. One prime example of how terrible the Navy has been lately is this very post. Think about it.. I post it, a couple of Leading Crewman comment on it, and then a few days later, the Training Officer (!!) who is a junior Admiral (!!) finally says something. Now, if you look at Section 008 of the Navy Manual, you'll notice the chain of command. Since I had not received any notification that anybody above me was actually alive, I had to assume that they were all dead, and I was the last survivor. Highly improbable, of course, but not impossible. So, I basically thought that I would make everyone sit up and take notice. Its about time somebody did it. And Admiral, about my demotion.. Please inform me which CoC I broke, which senior Admiral has authorised the demotion, and my rights. Thank you. P.S. Where is the humour in this Navy? The humour that made us a family? Do we have to be at each others throats all day? Can't we just sort it out?

Maybe it would be cheeky to tell Talon that Syth awarded me the Navy Defense Medal for my initiative.. It would be, yes. So I won't Now.. Syths wants some input from his star Junior Officer.. so.. erm.. yeh. A revised manual, for a start. Keep Atrus's basic framework there, but REVISE it. And get someone else to do it.. like.. one of mine or TJ's lads. Also, music. We should all make music, save it on our puters, and send it in.. For example, bang two pots together and say its a Stormtrooper in a close encounter with a tin opener Erm.. well, its late, so I can't think of much right now.. But I'll post some more tommorrow
