Hey Zan, hopefully no response over the last couple days hasn't discouraged you from joining us. We have been busy with our annual ESC (Elite Squadron Competition) though it has been pushed back for various reasons...if you finish you training soon enough maybe you can join us when it starts up again.

I am not a member of the Academy Staff (yet) and therefore cannot grade any submissions, but I'll try and help as much as I can. If you can figure out mIRC, feel free to pop on there and I'll be happy help you out with any questions. Alternatively, shoot me a message via the Message Center link at the top of this page.

Below are the typical instructions out Training Officer, Shazam generally give...enjoy. If you have any questions or problems feel free to message me on IRC...

Now that you've posted here on the ComNet, you've actually completed the Imperial Initiation (II) phase of Basic Training (BT).  BT's second phase is called Flight School (FS), which is made up of three chapters and an exam.  The first chapter, and probably the most important aspect of our system, is that of Character Creation- the bio.  In order for your character to exist in our club, our universe if you will, you need to create them in written form, detailing their stories, their personalities and the physical aspects that we may be aware of with a glance or perhaps things we can not see with the naked eye.  Either way, you're going to tell us how to describe you're character in a more detailed fashion than you're probably used to, but that's part of the fun

So, if you'll follow the link below, you'll be able to see the entirety of Flight School, the portion of BT I was referring to above.  BT is, essentially, training and thus, once you've passed through it, you're going to be placed in an Active Squadron, in 'Active Duty'.  So, depending on how well you do here against the recruits currently training here, you'll receive a rank at the end of your training and receive certain recommendations or promotions.  You'll want to go to Chapter 1- Character Development.  So, lets get off to a good start and get you goin- Rock On!

Hey Zan, hopefully you're still around. Just wanted to let you know about the newly-implemented Academy story. It can be found on the Naval Story Board by the name "Battlefront: Suvari Conflict (VENA)". Most of what you need to know is in the first post, but if you have any questions feel free to ask me. It's pretty unrestrictive, so have fun and take the chance to get used to writing in the VE before being placed in a squadron.

Note: This isn't required for graduation from the Academy, but I'd recommend giving a try so you can get a feel for the writing here.
