Although we did not have a meeting today, here are some of the things that would've been presented:
For his service and activity during the HSC, Private First Class Jelly Belly is given his long overdue promotion to Lance Corporal.
Wicket, who has been consistently active on mIRC and on the ComNet is hereby awarded the Emperor's Shield 2nd Class:
Emperor's Shield [ES] [1st Class, 2nd Class] - The standard excellence award of the Vast Empire Stormtrooper Corps, it may be bestowed for any outstanding service. This award has two classes; 1st Class, 2nd Class. The first is higher than the second. This medal can be granted by Squad Leaders.
(The last sentence in that medal description is a hint for the Squad Leaders - you don't need to recommend a medal which you can distribute yourself.)
There have been recommendations for the Bronze Cross, but the Bronze Cross is awarded for (as described by the Army Manual) having 75+ StoryNet posts. The manual specifically states "Storynet", but I'll have to check with the rest of the Army High Command to see if that includes squad-based stories as well.
As far as the Academy goes, we're continuing to have progress with our trainees. They are doing well, and I expect to see a graduation in the near future. By the way things are looking, it may appear that Private Avlen Graves may be the Academy's first Stormtrooper graduate. Also, Corporal Eviscares has been contacted by myself with the hope that he'd be interested in the last Commander of Training Assistant position. If he has the needed/required time to maintain duties as CoTA, he may be our last CoTA addition to the Academy for a while. (Eviscares was chosen due to his past experiences as a Vast Empire member and his knowledge of the Vast Army Stormtrooper Corps division) - that and he's also in a suitable time zone for some of the recruits that are coming in. He has expressed great interest in this new assignment; an update on this will be given next week.
I've also got some other ideas for activity I'm currently tossing around, so you may also see some of these ideas come into play when announced at next week's meeting as well.
Anywho, that's all. Have a great week.
