I appear to have made a mistake.. The Master Aviators Award is the highest award, followed by the Senior Award. Therefore, anyone awarded an MA now has an SA. Sorry for the inconveniance, and PLEASE update your ID lines ASAP! Also, the Academy site is officially complete, although theres really nothing new on it. However, some BIG news: Members who have reached the rank of WO2 or over AND have been in the VEN for 5 months or more (and can prove it) are eligible to take the MA examination. Just ask me if you want to take it. Also, because of the MASSIVE increase in activity lately, I will consider giving FOCE examinations to anyone who wants one. You MUST contact me by EMAIL, and have a superior officer email me to recommend you. I should not need to tell you that passing your FOCE exam means you'll be a 2nd Lieutenant, so if you think you've got what it takes, email me     However, its not easy, and it takes a while to do.. you have been warned. I am also handing over the JCPA and SCPA certificates to Wing Commander Riel Fury. If you play 2 games against a human opponent for the VEN, contact Riel and he will give you a JCPA. If you play 20 games or more against a human, and win AT LEAST half of them, contact both me and Riel for a SCPA. You MUST be able to prove you have won at least half of them (i.e. take a screenshot of each game). If anyone sends me a certificate (A, SA) through the academy website, and I haven't marked it a week later, then you can either email me about it or stay quiet. I will COMPLETELY disregard any complaints on the comnet, so it will take even longer for you to get your exam. You have been warned..

That makes sense to me, Lonewolf. Twenty games is quite a few . . . especially when you need records of them. Anyway, this whole thing sounds really nice Bear. Good ideas, especially once the site is 100% completed. You might want to post the link to the academy again though. I only see one flaw in this system - you need to have some sort of cutoff for who can take the FOCE. You don't want Crewman becoming 2ndLts. I say that anyone who wants to take it first has to be promoted to CWO or maybe even OC by Riel, Daishi, or PJ and have served in the VEN for a set period of time. What do you think? Anyway, keep up the good work. Nice to see people actually doing their jobs around here. Thanks again. -WO2 Darkhawk-
