Gents,
The next time you update your squad it will be required that you have a minimum of three contacts. We prefer four, but for now three will do.
If you don’t have three contacts for the FSO communications and CiC orders that are to be passed to your squad then quite frankly out of luck.
Many squads already have 3 or 4 contacts. Those squads are fine, but any squad that does not update their squad with 3 or 4 legitimate, valid, working e-mails by the Aug FSO will be removed from the FSO roster.
Any new squads that sign up will also be required to have 3 working e-mails.
Not trying to beat a dead horse here, but 68Falcon expressed concerns about squads not having enough contacts in the past several months. Inevitably someone has a death in the family, a family illness, away on vacation, having to work, computer problems, Internet down, etc. You get the idea. With only two contacts it is not sufficient insurance for an event that hosts 500+ on a Friday. Of course by the time I am done it may be more like 400, (http://www.tech-faq.com/emoticons/pensive/pensif_7.gif) (http://www.tech-faq.com/emoticons/pensive/emoticons.shtml) but I would rather have a smooth running FSO with 400 than late orders and passing off the CiC orders every other week.
My apologies to any squads that this proves to be a hardship. Nevertheless we need excellent communications between squads, objectives sent out by the Admin CM, and finally the orders by that weeks CiC.
This is just one more step to keep people from dropping the ball and not handing it off to someone else in their squad.
You can update your squad information here.

Just waiting on one of my guys to pass along his site ID so I can plug him in. I think he's left the jurisdiction for the week tho.
Comms not a prob with us. We have not one but TWO gigantic spam mail lists! The Damned =The Borg actually. Just most of us don't fly so much anymore.

It is easy. Just in case the others can't find their ID number. It is on the events home page. Once a C.O. has that they can add the 3rd or 4th contact. :)

Yeah I know about that. I just haven't heard back from him and only he can see his ID number. Think he's afk for a few days himself. Not to worry bro. I'm on it.

I am kinda looking at this event, what do I need to do to get my Squad involved in this Event, and how much time do I have to set it up?

Eagle, I have responded to your pm with a link to all the info. you need to get started. You need to register in the FSO off week prior to next months FSO. In fact, I would start the registration process now even. There is a link to the registration in the link I sent you or if the link doesn't work,perhaps DadDog could help you out.
Perhaps there may be some squads here that could make room for you and some of your squadies this frame, however, on such short notice could be difficult.

Eagle, what Dust said.
Several stickies at the top of this forum. You should read them all. Within those and probably what Dust sent you are the links to register your squad for FSO. E-mail me if you have any problems, questions, or concerns.
You might post in a new thread your looking for some guest slots with some other squads, then you and your squadies could get a taste of FSO without signing up yet. Several squads enjoy hosting potential new squads prior to their signing up. :)
-
I'll echo what Dustoff said.
If you've an invite to participate with an existing squad, take them up on as many slots as they offer. This is a great event but each squad has obligation that come with participation. Talk to the hosting squads' CO at times of his convenience and get a feel for what's involved behind the scenes and why. Read all the sticky posts in this thread, plus the description and all the rules posted at ahevents.
It wouldn't hurt to spend the next tour flying with an existing squad before you sign up. Post a new thread requesting an invite with a list of players in your squad interested in participating, but that's your call.
Edit: Ya beat me to it DD. :)
