eg:

FDBs
FDPs
FDRs
FDMs
FDIs
FDSs
FDDs
FDAs
FDFs
FDCs
FDHs

you could all make them one squad really. (though you wouldnt want to. Trust me.)

352 "fat drunk ...........s" would not be a good thing.

Post by: CanDoKevin on November 01, 2002, 04:43:26 PM: I guess I should have said a little more. We have a squad here from Air Warrior and have a bunch of AH people joining us. It is very nice to log in see the orange dots on the map and go there. We also like to be able to see our squadies at a glance and be tuned to the same freq (4 squad) I guess we could tune to a open channel I don't think it has a limit. But that doesn't help the orange icon of our members.

The only drawback is not everyone shows on the squad high light and we cant use squad text to type to everyone. The real hassel is in SEA and TOD we have way more MAW than any one squad can hold. Not everyone makes it to every event. So I am allways haveing to adjust the roster just before events starts. A real pain!

Post by: GScholz on November 01, 2002, 05:14:00 PM: Just spilt up guys. Form several sqd's and work together. Sqd leaders can comunicate with eachother. It's even more practical that way rather than 100 guys talking at the same time. You can still be part of the larger "unit", just split up in teams.

Just a suggestion.
