Thank you for your input, Rei. The appearance of some officers "getting away with everything" probably goes in tandem with the nature of punishment to be private. A lot of judgment is not really placed into public view, as, punishment is best served discreetly to the individual.

How true that is!

Funny and interesting! Enjoy. Fooks is reporting on behalf of the Journal.

The responsibility of routine training has primarily been left at the branch and unit level. However, with recognition that these activities are sometimes difficult to achieve without administrative oversight (as in, approval to utilize the region), it has been decided that two combat practice routines will be hosted weekly at varying times. Participation is encouraged. The schedule will be announced at least a couple days prior to the event, in order to allow everyone an opportunity to partake. Training routines will be designed to encompass a range of scenarios that could be experienced on the battlefield, providing the Ordo members with the chance to hone their talents. Weekly combat practices will eventually be part of a wider movement, alongside academy activities (reference link:http://www.ordoimperialis.com/ordo/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=28&thread_id=1210 ). To streamline the process and to clarify all matters within the Ordo, a schedule will be released every Sunday that encompasses the next week

The importance of officer accountability is something that has been addressed time and time again, by both me and others. It is really a topic that can

At the request of Curia, I would like to remind everyone to please take the time to go on over to (http://65.99.248.214/ordo/) and register for the web database. This area allows for paperless Curia reports, among other basic needs. Although Curia will still accept any incident report in notecard format, it is certainly preferred that business be conducted on the database. Thank you. Any registration concerns may be directed to Firefox Breed.

You can't leave. :D

Almost done! Just a couple easy exams. And a small project.

I hope to see you back soon!

You are awesome and we <3 you.

Welcome! Glad to have you! As for Fox . . You and I need to talk, haha. He is very high on my shit list. Oh man, the stories I have!

Hello everyone, Tomorrow will be the second

ROFL.

In preparation for invitations to the "Faces of the Iron Symphony" for the general population, the following protocol is in effect.

Aye, rofl. My bad.

This is something I wrote months and months ago, intended to give NCO's a "nudge in the right direction." I figured I should post it here for everyone. Though I am sure the part about the Praetorians is a lie now. :D

Amen.

Hahahaha. So bad.

Sorry you all. I will probably call a short one when I get home. Got caught up in helping with crap.

Bump for reminder.

San Jose. go.

Welcome! :)

Anyone going to FC in January and want a room? :D

There are several points to be made here. The question of professional status and the demonstration of such is something of a gimme. Professional demeanor is an expected behavior: you are already censored, whether you realize it or not. Avatar decency has always been enforced, and always will be enforced. Displaying sexual content on one's avatar in official pretenses, or whilst wearing any regalia or attire of an official pretense, is what I would consider "clear and present," as it is readily viewable without option. Tacit consent does apply when enlisting within the Ordo Imperialis, as it is a written and assumed matter that professional, visual decency will be enforced. There is not, however, any prior existing profile regulation on the books. Individuals who apply do have their profiles picked over: some folks have been denied based upon strange profile mannerisms, in tandem with application grievances. Profile decency can and is used as a stop-sign. For example, if an individual has an exemplary application and a proper vouch-in, but their profile would be generally considered lewd, the probability is they will be provided an opportunity to change the profile issue. Schola does not typically meddle in: - Group listings; such as sex groups, etc. - Listings of one's significant other. - Gender, sexual preference listings, etc. Schola will meddle in profiles that: - Display pornographic images. - Include material that's beyond simply "sexual and lewd;" such as pedophilia. - Generally "offensive" content; such as sexual logs, quotes, over overly descriptive preferences. In general, I do not feel profile listings are "clear and present." You are not forced to view them at a constant. If they are not overbearing, there isn't a grave concern on my part. The concept of the Ordo being marked as "murry purry" or high content in furry is really . . going to continue, regardless of what is in profiles. Because, frankly, we are really high in content when it comes to furry members. The stereotype of the furry fandom will persist, with our without indications inside of any member's profiles. On that note, curiously, I have taken the time to go over and read every profile of those who have posted within here. Those of you in opposition: you're playing devil's advocate, as none of you have any traits within your profile I consider "too disturbing." There are not many individuals that I've experienced within the Ordo that have profiles that borderline it. But that has everything to do with what your description of "disturbing" is. What it really boils down to, is, frankly . . both sides are odd on this. Those touting "don't censor me," you already are censored. Those touting "professionalism," there is a great deal of that displayed through demeanor. Profiles are only a portion of the bigger picture. Really, how often do you feel our foes spend the time to read our profiles, rather than go with "they are Ordo, fuck them?" Keep up the good discussion.
