The AArch AAngelz:
Before I had joined the AAs, I was known simply as olds. I had GVed the daylights out of everything under the sun---with decent results. When I used to fly it was almost always a suicide mission. Then one day I was GVing some base and AApache happened to be there. He asked me to grab troops...I did. We repeated the process numerous time that day. Usually I ran the troops LOL! AApache talked, I typed, but we chatted anyways. He ended up asking me if I wanted to wing up with the squad and consider joining despite my lack of any flying ability and fierce reluctance to fly anyways, lack of vox or a joystick. I used a mouse when I first started and for about 6 months of my time with AAs.
I discovered after spending a bit a time with the AAs just as olds, that I was treated with respect, shown much tolerance for my basic newb questions and everything and I was accepted as a focused GVer who was fairly unwilling to fly....LOL! I was freely given knowledge. I was trained in anything I asked about and given aid in so many battles and other matters. These qualities are still hallmarks of the AAs. We are willing to give most people a chance, to teach what we know, to help a squad member when in trouble as best we can with game-reason (meaning we dont expect to people to bail with kills, at high alt, part of a posted mission, or if in a perk ride, but some members will and have done this).
The AArch AAngelz 187th in my opinions is a well rounded and versitile squad with members that cover the spectrum of game skills. We have some great pilots, tankers, bombers, and tacticians. We are very freely organized in that we dont require each other to fly together all the time. We are all free to do our own thing most of the time. When we do call for missions, we do our utmost to cater to each members desires in regards to their part of the mission so they can show off their skills and prowess. Many times I can remember AA missions that flatten an entire enemy base, while at the same time destroying the town and capturing it too. When a majority of the AA squad is online at the same time, trouble for the enemy is sure to come. We want to have fun, we like destroying stuff, and we are willing to wreck our ranks to do it and we love to talk while were doing it, were a noisy squad!
I am proud to be a member and the XOII of the AArch AAngelz 187th.
