"The 47 Ronin" is a brand new squadron to Aces High
and to paraphrase a Marine Corps recruiting slogan: "I'm looking
for a few good men."
This will be wonderful opportunity not only to build a squadron
from the ground up but to become an integral part of it as it
develops and coalesces from a mere daydream to a functioning
fighting machine in "The Main Arena" of "Aces High"
It's more important to me to get good people than it is to
acquire "good sticks". While a combination of the two would
be ideal, don't sweat it if your fighting skills are a bit weak.
That can be worked on. I could use a bit of help myself, actually!
Right now I'm looking to set up a command cadre. I'm going
to require a good X.O. and a Sergeant Major. As well, if you've
got a skill (or would like to learn) in fighters, attack planes
(jabos), bombers or ground vehicles "The 47 Ronin" are in need
of your services.
Committing to a squad is a big decision and certainly one
that nobody should take lightly. It takes time, effort, dedication,
and an ability to work in unison with your fellow squaddies during
combat. My hope is that in return, I can offer you the pride and
fun associated with a squadron which goes into battle each week
knowing that your fellow squadmates will be there to help you
in anyway possible. Be it covering your six during a jabo run,
or clearing your tail of the 3 La7's trying to run you down.
I'm looking for highly motivated, team-oriented warriors with
a sense of honor and fair play.
We'll be flying and driving virtually everything that Aces
High has to offer during the course of time. And when "T.O.D."
is released, we'll be giving that a look as well.
Some of you may know me from flying Air Warrior and Aces High
off an on over the course of the past ten years. I hope I have
left you with a favorable impression. I will be bringing my
experience as a pilot, my leadership and operations knowledge,
and a whole bowlfull of enthusiasm. I served as a Sergeant in
The United States Marine Corps and have a very good grasp on
leadership, cooperation, and accomplishment. You won't have
to worry about being shortchanged or constrained by a C.O.
who isn't worthy of his ration of grog everyday.
If I can get the pilots, I can guarantee you that this'll be
a squadron you'll be proud to call your own.
If you're unsure of joining this or any other squadron, hook up
with me online when I'm flying (I'm usually tuned to "144" and
fly as a "Rook" only.) and we can get to know each other and
see if it's a good "fit" or not. I fly as "OddCAF".
We have an opportunity here to build something from scratch;
to mold it into something we can all be proud of. I offer each
and everyone who might be interested a chance to guide it
from its inception which is right now.
I heartily encourage any and all with any interest to contact me at:
cholmes-usmc@nospam.comcast.net (remove the "nospam" in the address
before sending.)
I look forward to hearing and flying with you,
Regards,
Oddball
Commanding Officer
"The 47 Ronin"
