The 47 Ronin Is Recruiting
« on: February 14, 2011, 02:37:20 PM »



"The 47 Ronin" has been resurrected
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!

 
  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.

  Some of you may know me from flying Air Warrior and Aces High
off and 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 "147" 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". If I'm not
"up" at the time, look for BluOx, Willy928, Chekov or ET37.

  We have a brand new website which is in the building stages.
It's coming along quite nicely and I encourage you to take a
look at it. The link is: http://www.the-47-ronin.org/
 
  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
by clicking on my handle to the left of this posting and
sending me a "PM" (private message)
ALL inquiries will be handled with the utmost discretion.

  I look forward to hearing and flying with you,

Regards,
Oddball
Commanding Officer
"The 47 Ronin"

PS: If you are on a "two week free trial" offer from HTC, please
do not reply. I am looking only for pilots with active/paid
subscriptions.

Bailey, Bruv, Stokes,
  My sincere thanks for the kind words. The website is Willy's (Willy928) masterpiece. He's
done a magnificent job with it. I'm only allowed to dink with the roster and campaign ribbons
page; anything beyond that, things get broken quickly, or lost forever. D'oh.
  I've got a great little bunch of guys so far and I'm having fun watching it remain
fun and seeing things begin to coalesce. Yesterday I had that "feeling" that only
C.O.s get that "it's gonna be alright", while running a small scale bomber run
with escorts.
  It's a labor of love for me and my main intent is to provide a fun squad for
the lads where they can enjoy themselves and have something they're
proud to be a part of.
   My thanks again for the kind words; and good hunting!

Regards, Oddball

Thank you all, guys. <S>
We're coming along steadily. I'm havin' fun with it so far, and we've started
runnin' some coordinated ops with other squads and pilots involved. A couple
of small squads workin' together is as good as one honkin' sized one sometimes. ;)
  And yeah, Karaya, you were most certainly a "plank holder" back in 2006!

My thanks again to you all for the kind words.  :salute

Best regards, Odd

  Thank you very much, Dhyran <S>. We're still making progress. We've
instituted a formal "Squad Night" and have been running some coordinated
operations with a couple of other small squadrons. That's working out
well thus far.
  And, yesterday we brought aboard our tenth pilot. The ranks are beginning
to flesh out a bit.  :cheers:
 
Best regards,

Heck, TG, the pleasure is entirely ours. Yep, our freq is indeed "The Social Butterfly Network". Half the time there's more
of my AH friends and wingies on there than there is actual squaddies! We're dang happy to have you join in
the fun with us! <S>
Best regards, Odd
