Looking to form a new FSO squad

[BlkKnit]

Old and Slow
-=antiquus et tardus=-

Background:
Currently playing very little in the MA, I am looking at a move soon, which will allow me more time for AH, and most especially, FSO.
I was a member of the MAW (Marine Air Wing) and served as CO and XO in FSO as well as CO in the MA for a short period (I think I killed the squad  )
I have been a CM, working sunday squad ops, friday squad ops and the short lived sunday event "Close Escort" for which I was team lead.
As squad CO I served several frames as CiC in FSO and have a strong knowlege of the requirements of the task (and can help you learn how to do it too).

Now, I am not trying to steal pilots from existing squads, but I will welcome those who are maybe feeling a bit superfluous in a large squad or want to become more involved in squad activities than what they have been so far.  I want to spread the responsibilities around, flight lead duties especially.  New players will also be welcome, a long as you are a paying customer of AHII and will bring a mature, level headed attitude into the squad.

If you are someone with a history of causing trouble in the SEA, I'd rather you not apply.  We will maintain discipline and will not be a nuisance or hindrance.  We will play fairly and with teamwork and will show respect to both our allies and our enemies, and most especially to the CM's and HTC staff. 

I would prefer applicants be of age (18+) but will consider younger players on a case by case basis.  Maturity is the key here if you are 14 going on 40, you'd fit in fine, if you are 40 going on 14, well.........maybe not.

Hmmm, no takers?  I got 40 cases of pork & beans and I'm willing to share

Do you have to scream  "Whoo... Pigs! Sooie! ?

Only in the dive from 20k! 



BTW, that xfire link...its not necessary that you join the xfire squad or that you even have xfire.  Thats just something i did, well, because it was there 

Oh, and one other item:  This is intended as an SEA squad, but we could expand into the MA easily enough.  However, let it be known that membership in the SEA squad does NOT mean you must be a member of the MA squad.  If you are a member of a non FSO squad in the MA, but would like to fly FSO with my squad, you are more than welcome.  OS in SEA, your old squad in the MA.  Its no problem at all.

Hey BKnight - pack up your Hog Gear and come on over and get you a P-38 with the 49th FG.

We do the FSO thing seriously as well as the squad thing in the AVA. You can check out our recruiting ad here in the SQUADRONS section.

Come on and join. You and me can make fun of the guys from Texas that are in the squad.   

PM me if you are interested.

 

[BlkKnit]

ewww, texans?  I thought we gave them all to Santa Ana?

PMing soon


Hmm, not sure if that went through or not.  Anyway, I'm interested.
faughnmaw at yahoo if you wanna email me

[BlkKnit]

I'm interested.

That don't mean I am abandoning the idea of getting a new squad going.  Just looking at possibilities.  Frankly, P38's give me hives

So, anyone interested can still contact me.

[BlkKnit]

OK, so far I've had one nibble.  I find that encouraging 

Look, I know there are players who would like to give FSO a try, who love events but their MA squad does not fly them.  I know I do not fly as much as I once did and many will not recognize my handle.  Trust me, I've been here a while, I've flown in every type of event we have, except the air races (have wanted to do that one too, just no time for it).  I have CM'ed, CiC'ed and CO'ed FSO's without having to be sanctioned or reprimanded.

If the nibble I got bites, we will be able to provide guidance to inexperienced players, and we will also look to expose those players to the things it takes to be a CO or CiC.  IMO that sort of guidance is important, and will add to the list of capable leadership in FSO.

Post or PM if interested

I think you should give the 49th a look. 

[BlkKnit]

heh, well, I may before its all said and done, but I am still hopeful that we can get this squad up and rolling.  I would still like to try flying with you guys in the AvA once I get moved and can stay up a bit later

LOL, Just remember Shuffler has the patent on the P38 cockpit blender under the SAPP label

[BlkKnit]

heh, blender in the cockpit.  There is no way you are squeezing my rotund hiney (that sounds weird alone) into a pee38 cockpit. 

Actually, I love them, but cant fly 'em worth a dang.

 

BTW I now have a bit of web space with a application page for anyone interested.

Go to the MA and post on country "Anyone interested in doing FSO, please go to vox ###"

[BlkKnit]

Yeah, I need to that too, thanks.  Tried it once to light response, and I do get the occasional question while in the MA.

Got webspace and a bbs so potential members can talk without gumming up the AHbbs
