Title: Runner Missing?
Post by: Stampf on November 28, 2007, 09:43:18 AM
The JG11 Ready Room is not one often visited by Allied Flyers, and being far off the regular path of Allied runners, we were wondering if we have missed the messenger with our orders(?).  My Jagdefliegers were hoping for some  practice time in our assigned ride,...but we have had no confirmation of such assignment as of yet.

Looking forward to Friday.  Best of luck to all.

FLY FSO.

I emailed the 613th last night to remind them of the new squads that will be flying with the Allies this month. I will email them again.

I have not received the ride/orders yet.  The Fighting 31 fly naval aircraft all the time, so I don’t think it will be that BIG of a problem.

No orders for VMF-251. Checked my bulk folder on Yahoo just to be sure.

Can another Allied Squad help these guys out too?

JG11 has recieved the orders, and we will do our duty...

Would like to inquire however if "ride requests" where even considered by the CiC?  JG11 went allied specifically to fly some fighters we never get any time in, and instead where assigned "something else".

Fully understand that "requests" are just that, but this makes (4) weeks in a row now we have drawn "non fighter aircraft".  Getting a bit discouraged here.

VMF-251 orders received. One question for clarification on them but I'm addressing that now.

See you all tomorrow

I don't see how that would work  hehehe


A revision to the orders would be nice asap.

Have you contacted them by email yet?

Ratt,

How did you manage to get your orders out so fast?

Will you be giving CIC lessons in the future? ;)

Judging from all the emails sent today from squads with no assignments, a complete re work of the Orders would seem prudent to me.
Title: Runner Missing?
Post by: RATTFINK on November 29, 2007, 01:17:45 PM
Yes, I e-mailed the CiC

Well, I'm sure the 613th will fix it, let me know when you get an update please :)

On a personal note: I don't believe JG11 had a specific ride request last frame.  At least not that I remember.  I tried very hard to give each squad the ride they requested.

Wolf, we flew 110's, which is what we requested.  Our orders where complete, well written, and one could see some sense of tactical deployment, and follow the strategic thread underlying the entire kommand.

Having volunteered for the attack role three frames in a row (Being CiC frame #1 - we always fly the least desirable ride) it would have been nice to fly fighters this week, especially for us as it's only our second time over to the "Light Side".

I am not going to go into "Quality of Work" issues on the public forum.  I will say however, in order to avoid complete one sided affairs, side orders need to be more than a set of a dozen seperate : "Up here, fly there,do this, then go here" sorties, especially in the light of the depth of some of the squad CO's strategic thought here in FSO.

Proof reading is a good idea too...

9GIAP currently exists in an "order free zone".

No problem, we can wing it :)

I've found that if you follow Drano around for a while something huge falls on you eventually. :D
