I have our scoreboard already setup, it's perddy.  :D

I think you guys will like it. It looks similar to the one we used in DGSII.

Well this is going to be fun! We need three more Pony pilots.

Any body else down?

This is a real Honor to do this.

Listen up Allied Forces.

Pre-deployment Medical & Dental exams are Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday of next week.  If you did not receive your rabies vaccinations, you WILL NOT deploy!

Pre-deployment Service Record Book review will take place in the Division Office on Thursday and Friday morning of next week.

Pre-deployment Operations Brief and legal (Last Will & Testament and Power of Attorneys) are scheduled for Friday afternoon.

An all hands formation and ceremony is scheduled at 16:00 on Friday.  Immediately following formation, a 96 hour liberty call is scheduled.

Have your men & women get all affairs in order and be prepared to begin the lengthy process of a deployment.  All workup and maintenance schedules will be strictly adhered to so we make our deployment on time.

Be prepared for the month of May to be informative.  We will hold a (real) all hands formation around that last week of May prior to deployment.

After that, all COs are responsible for disseminating all information, briefings, & orders to their men.

Some simple house cleaning rules pertaining to awards I would like to go over for consideration.  This will be further discussed in our forums once they are set up...

1.  Most awards will be issued by the unit COs based on their recommendations to me. 
2.  Awards will be based on the real historical thing.
3.  The Purple Heart.  In order for a person to be awarded the Purple Heart as ALLIED for this event, you must present evidence (film) that you were injured and made it safely to the runway and survive it.
4.  There will be a BF Medal.  This is the medal you do NOT want.  If the logs show you as the pilot that shot down a friendly, you will receive a BF medal.  BF (Buddy Fudger).  It is incentive to NOT shoot down a pilot.

Essentially, I would like to have a running tally of each week's event of unit and personal actions deserving of a medal or an award.  Any squad or group can recommend another unit for an award based on that unit's actions and how they effected another unit's success.

I want to try to make this as fun as I can.

Also...   There will be P38s!  Does S.A.P.P. know yet???   They need to know!!!    :pray

In all seriousness.  I am truly honored and excited to have the opportunity to lead Allies. 

Looking forward to it!

 :rock

P.S.  I am looking for a XO.  It will not be an easy job.  But you will be responsible for every one having a great event!

Done deal.

Lt. Col. BFOOT1 sir, by the power vested in me by the United States 9th Army Air Force. You are hereby authorized to take command and operate to the best of your ability, knowledge and skills the daily operations of the 354th Fighter Group under the overall command of Brigadier General Slipknt.

Please report as soon as possible to your duty station and begin to organize your group as necessary to inflict the highest levels of pain and suffering to enemy forthwith and posthaste.

Congratulations!

This is your fine group of Mustang pilots. These proceedings are pronounced completed. Go forth and slay the enemy.

     Nothing is set in stone yet, DarkHawk, but if I understand correctly, there will be two bomber groups. Not sure if there will be one bomber command CO and two Group Leaders or how the command structure will be set but I know we already have at least 5 dedicated bomber pilots who will sign up and fly bombers.
     You, sir, will be more than welcome to help us destroy whatever targets the old man wants us to hit. There may even be a command position open.

To perhaps make things a little more interesting once we get more guys I might  have us represent a squadron from the 354th. Let us take on some personas, with all of us being attached to the same squadron, and spending time together much like the real guys did!

Raider,

That is always the case sir in every event. Take your seat if you get a weekend pass and miss a frame, not to worry. We will find a pick up pilot for that frame. Just give us the one week heads up.

So... you in?

I'm with Red on this one.  As long as I've been a cartoon pilot, my cartoon pilot persona has been based on this guy.  Can't change it now.  He's not a real WW2 pilot, nor am I.  I just play one on the computer :)
