Becoming a Group
Posted: 28 Jun 2008 17:13
S! All,
I thought I would take a moment and share with you my vision for the =AVG= as we move forward. Up to this point we have been operating as a squadron. We have essentially been operating as the 1st Pursuit Squadron, Adam & Eves. Steps are now being taken to fill the 2nd Pursuit Squadron, Panda Bears. In fact, our latest recruit, Big_Fred, has been assigned to the 2nd Pursuit Squadron, Panda Bears.
As more pilots join our ranks they will also be assigned to the 2nd Pursuit Squadron, Panda Bears. For the time being, the existing members of HQ will be managing both squadrons. As we fill the ranks of the 2nd Pursuit Squadron we will be looking for members to step up to become the CO, XO, OPsO, ADJ, CoC, and RO, of the 2nd Pursuit Squadron, Panda Bears. We will also be looking for members to step up to become the CO, XO, OPsO, ADJ, CoC, and RO, of the 1st Pursuit Squadron, Adam & Eves. The existing members of HQ would then be promoted to Group CO, Group XO, Group OPsO, Group ADJ, Group CoC, and Group RO. Should we recruit enough pilots we would then begin filling the ranks of the 3rd Pursuit Squadron, Hell's Angels.
When we interact with the community please keep in mind that anyone can recruit pilots for the group. American is the RO, so he is the point of contact for new recruits, but any member can and should recruit good pilots for the group. As you talk with potential recruits remember that we have a number of assets that might appeal to them. We have our own server on a T1 connection, and a web site and forums with integrated server stats and voice communication. You may also want to stress that we specialize in organization and that we are proficient at team flying.
I hope that you will all join me in developing the =AVG= into a full group of IL-2 pilots. If we are successful, there will be opportunities for promotion for those who are interested.
