Due to old site issues and the confusion this may caused to some looking for our site, or trying to sign up, we started this new thread.
http://vf-17.webuda.com is the current correct site.
(http://vf-17.webuda.com/main_files/mainvf17.jpg)
The VF-17 Jolly Rogers are recruiting pilots interested in US Naval Aviation.
New pilots and vets equally welcomed.
We do ask you be 18 years of age and have an account with HTC.
You are also required to have a sense of humor when joining
Squad Nights
Corsair training : Monday, 10:00pm Est
FSO Training :Thursday, 10:00 pm Est
FSO: Friday, 11:00 pm Est
Our primary focus aircraft is the F4U and it's variants, primarily the 1a. But we are happy to fly any US navy Iron. We train a lot in this squad, so if you are looking to up your game, love blue planes, and like to work as a team, we might be right for you.
We are also an active FSO squad, so being able to participate in FSO on a regular basis is required. We know things come up in real life, so we don't expect everyone to make every frame, but expect you to make it when you can.
New recruits, will probably be spending a lot of time with me to determine weaknesses in merge tactics and plane handling. We hold our F4U flying to high standards, and I'll do my best to bring you up to speed quickly.
VF-17's CO is Branch37

Flushed, you looking for a spot?

I can't, I violate almost every rule you have. 1) I don't have an active account 2) Can't promise to be available for FSO. I'd like too, I sure miss the hog, but life is in the way. Doc, says I'm very sick so I gotta get health fixed, Diabetes, according to him. Maybe one day I'll come back, I don't know.
Just wanted to say hello and I miss getting to fly the hog.
Best wishes.

Eeeeewwww! Cant I just get a new one and be done with it :D

Mine is definitely the pink one.
Well... one of the pink ones.

I stole something from the RAF. The Kommodore of JG-11 just won't let me keep it not even for a pet. I notice BC is rarely in a Corsair anymore. I decided this would be the perfect gift for him. I dropped it off at Chance Vought plant before it was flown out to you guys. Maybe now BC can somewhat blend in with the rest of you.

I heard you guys have some epic pillow fights:
"Where are your hands?"
"Between two pillows."
"Those aren't pillows!"
Another thing I heard is that BigRat is very mean and makes you guys fly funny looking planes. :D

We do have some Epic pillow fights, but we are just spectating, see pillow fight rules below :D
(http://dontcostnothing.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/pillowfight6.jpg)
Rules of Pillow Fighting:
1. Pillow Fighting is for females only.
2. Pillow Fights should take place indoors, preferrably a bedroom.
3. Proper Pillow Fighting attire is lingerie or pajamas of some type. Bikinis are also acceptable.
4. No one should ever swing hard enough to injury anyone else during a pillow fight.
5. No hard foam pillows. All pillows used should be soft and filled with feathers.
6. The pillow fight ends when all of the girls are hot and need to take a shower to cool off.
7. There are no losers in a pillow fight. Everyone wins!
Pillow Fighting FAQ:
If you stumble upon girls in the middle of a pillow fight, what should you do?
Pull up a chair and watch. And drink a beer if you’ve got one.
What happens if someone is injured in a pillow fight?
First, no one should ever get injured because the point of a pillow fight is to look sexy, not injure anyone. But if a mishap does occur, then the fight should stop. All girls present should massage and/or tenderly kiss the injured girl until she is back to health. Sometimes a quick dip in the hot tub will soothe a pillow fight injury.
Should you pillow fight in the nude?
There is a common misconception that naked pillow fighting is appropriate. But that’s incorrect – girls involved in pillow fights should always be clothed. There is a lot of jerky movement going on during a pillow fight. And that may cause some less than flattering images if someone were nude. Although, after the pillow fight ends it is okay if the girls involved want to get naked and/or make out.
Is there an age limit on pillow fight contestants?
Yes, the recommended ages for pillow fighting are 18 to 25. It is occassionally acceptable for someone older to participate, but only those that are in the peak of physical condition for their age range. There is no MILF or Cougar Pillow Fighting. Those older ladies need to keep it classy.
What is the proper type of pillow to use in a pillow fight?
The recommended pillow for a pillow fight is the classic, large, white feather pillow.
"Another thing I heard is that BigRat is very mean and makes you guys fly funny looking planes. :D" This is a correct statement except you missed one word, should have said: "Another thing I heard is that BigRat is very mean and makes you guys fly funny looking planes correctly" :aok
Don't worry potential applicants, I know the pillow fights are just another great reason to Join VF-17, but you just have to be patient.

How is the new squad coming?
-
Had a hiccup with the laundry last week. One of the new guys (okay it was me :o) accidentally washed BC's clothes with everyone else's. Needless to say now everyone's uniforms smell like rotten ostrich eggs, goat innards, and sheep feces. None of us knows how he gets this livestock onto the ship or where he keeps it, but evidently this is why we're supposed to throw all his laundry in a net and tow it for a few days, dumping 20 gallons of Simple Green off the stern between sorties.
As a punishment someone suggested that I get stuck with laundry duty for the next 3 weeks, but everyone else unanimously screamed, "HELL NO!" :furious
With enough Febreze I only gag when I breath through my nose. :aok
-
I decided to go out and buy new flight gear just to get that livestock smell out.

How is the new squad coming?
I'm confused :headscratch:

Well, the group is bigger than I ever remember. Back in AW3 I was a squad of one for awhile. I remember when you and I were a squad of two here. Looks like a wall to wall party now. All I need is standing room. :D

Awesome site in your sig, Arlo! :cheers:

Thanks, Reb! Being that I was rather less-than-average pile-it (back when - no doubt even lesser than now), I try to make up for it with website-dweebery. :cool:
I like the official squad sites (very functional and they look great). I just wanted to provide some additional multimedia content.

Welcome back Arlo :aok
We can whip you back in shape in no time, Scrubbing barnacles is great cardio :lol. I'd do it, but somebody has to officiate the pillow fighting :D. You wanted to bunk with BC right?

Argh. Barnacle Bill? Has BC grown a pair of double Ds and sports long red hair now? Some guys definition of pillows can vary. :lol
P.S. You have a great deal of faith in my abilities. Previously, I worked long and hard at being the pile-it that Reschke died while trying to rescue regularly. :airplane:

I'm pretty sure ive died a few times trying to rescue Reschke. :devil

I've seen your kill-streak. You managed to avoid it a few times. (Good shootin, Tex!)
I'll settle for five and a trap. My wingie will have to have the patience of Lt. Job and the
sense of humor of Captain Hawkeye.

Skull_001
Not actively recruiting, a lot will depend if we decide to up our FSO numbers or not. Right now we stay pretty close to our max numbers on most FSO nights. We have a few old squaddies coming back in like Arlo, which we obviously make room for if at all possible. Try to catch me in the TA, either Tuesday or Wednesday night at 9 central time, I can give you a kinda informal personal/flight interview. Not saying there's anything open, but it's a way to get your foot in the door, plus some hog practice. Is Skull_101 you ingame name as well?
:salute
BigRat
-
Yes, but its Skull001, no underscore.
9 CST would be 10EST right? Just making sure. You fly from any particular strip in the TA?
-
Usually the one due West of A1, I think its A100 or A101 or something like that.
Oh, and I'd like to criticize BigRat's terrible lack of foresight in creating a recruiting thread with the year 2011 in it at the end of October. Yay... 2 solid months of 2011 recruiting before the thread starts looking all old and smelly. Ick :o

I normally start at A1 Skull.
In hindsight I should have titled the thread a bit different :bhead

Thanks to both of you. Rat I'll be at A1 as close to 9CST as I can be. I'll keep an eye for you tommorow.

Skull,
Tonight is squad F4U practice so I really won't be able to spend a lot of time with you tonight, as I said Tuesday or Wednesday are better. But you can ride along with me if you wish. If we get done early or my practice group is small I might be able to free up some time for ya.
