Guardsman Kupferberg has served honorably without pause for over two years of operation. During his time with the Ordo Imperialis, he has projected and upheld his duties diligently, with the utmost levels of excellence. It is with a great deal of sadness that I am to announce that Tenaki Kupferberg has taken the route of the truthfully old fogies. He has officially retired, after a very long, and very successful career. On account of his status and honorable stand-down, he will maintain all basic access and be more than welcome to visit beyond secured areas at any time. As one of my Guard, Tenaki has been one of my closest confidants and assistants. Seeing him retire is especially difficult, but, more than understood. He goes on to spend the life of a retiree . . getting fat, playing golf, and bingo nights.

Yes, I presume so. Lone Marksman is just preoccupied offline.

LOL....

You are my favorite retard. <3

After an extended leave and deployment in clandestine service, Gunau Sodwind has returned to active service within the Ordo Imperialis. Per his request, he has forgone officer status and has assume an E-7 role. It is his intention to assist in the creation of NCO academy, using his education in leadership to further the most important and largest leadership element for the Ordo: our NCOs.

During the monthly IS meeting, the group Kratus Mepita, under the command of Miche Cortes, has been inducted to the Symphony as a friendly party. We will discuss combat terms or possible allegiances after stability is imposed.

Stay on topic.

Happy Birthday, Zero! I hope you have a good one. And. I hope people haze you all day about it!

Outstanding. Very good to hear. Congratulations to those of you selected. And, thank you everyone who applied. Your efforts alone are worth the while!

Unfortunately, Sparta died in Roudy's hands, not Bruno's.

These are awesome. Thank you.

Hey you! :D Forum account good to go.

On NCO authority: [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: On authority, two concerns come to mind. [18:47] Aryte Vesperia: First, officer authority doesn’t seem to be exercised as extensively or as strictly as it should be. To remedy that, I am laying out the expectation that officers personally report to me any incidents of out-of-line conduct during their watch, detailing the event and how it was resolved. Failure to report will count against officers. [18:48] Aryte Vesperia: Secondly, NCO authority still does not seem to be understood. Eventually an NCO academy will remedy that for good. In the mean time, let me reinforce the idea behind NCOs: unless enumerated expressly by an officer, or by a certain position (such as the Schola vice commandant currently; Zero Itamae), an NCO does not have direct policy command authority. [18:50] Aryte Vesperia: They may, however, enforce policy by pointing out error, and, if necessary, issuing a reprimand for the standing officer in command (or in the chain of command). NCO issuing an order must be within the realm of their authority, whereas an officer has the ability to /create/ policy. [18:51] Aryte Vesperia: For example, let’s assume that Sosarin Demar enacts the expectation that all of his pilot cadets are to wear purple hats. Most of Sosarin’s air training is handled by NCOs—as such, an NCO within that realm now has the authority to ensure their cadets wear purple hats. [18:51] Aryte Vesperia: During the defense, an NCO (outside of the SOG), has authority revolved around enforcing the orders of the OIC. For example. OIC Zrazor orders that the southern ridge be covered—an NCO should step up and make that happen. [18:52] Aryte Vesperia: I know you guys are all capable of this, and I know no one is purposely doing it. But now you know! [18:52] Aryte Vesperia: . . and knowing is half the battle!

I can give you 75L. And Ordo gear is authorized for use here, per me.

Aaand I am your supreme commander who is in a distant realm! Keep me informed! Sounds awesome.

It's a MAN.

[15:49] Keno: DESTROYER OF WORLDS [15:49] Keno: DEVOURER OF PIES [15:50] Aryte: More like destroyer of silence, propriator of all things obnoxious. [15:50] Keno: whats obnoxious mean [15:50] Aryte: . .

>> PLEASE << remember to continue to handling reports, defense or otherwise. Even though Mercury picks up the presence of folks, it is an important practice to report defense infractions. In addition, any curious incidents: REPORT it. It is really crappy to hear of something 9 hours after it happened in hearsay. Your information is vital to our success! Thank you!

Hey you. :D

I love you, Z. Lol.

Still trying to figure out when I can do it. Ryoaku will be at my house from the 2nd to the 8th.

Nadav is senior Marine now, I believe.

Totally outing myself as knowing about fursuits, but the material is actually a lot more expensive than you think!
