Title: I return!
Post by: Herald_Collier on July 20, 2007, 04:26:02 PM
Well, the move to Colorado has been an outstanding success! And best of all, I have internet access again, huzzah! I'll be sure to check the forums more regularly now. The Herald needs to catch up on all that's happened during his inexplicable hiatus.

Tal, what side of the war were you on?

Ummm... Talstadt really was neutral, but a terrorist organization went there under as "relief workers" and are now trying to take land and recruit Southern Ryazanian troops that don't want to give up.

Wait, a war happened?? When?? Where?? What thread?? >.>

Figures...though, it would be understandable that ICly the Herald make few, if any, public appearances during a war--the Party doesn't want to lose him, so they'd probably try to hide him...despite his objections, I'm sure.

Either way, tell me what I've missed! XD

Okay, here's the deal--I need any and every possible update on any and everything involving the UASS and the U.S.S.C.F. as soon as possible, so I can figure out where to nudge and wedge myself back into the RP without having to wait over a week to realize "Hey...this thread's deceased!" Sound good, people? Let's get the Herald back in on the action! :fight:

Well, welcome back.  You came at just the right time to witness a mini-war of our own, within Taijitu.

Dysanii attack us, but we kick his ass! Too bad you weren't there, it was a great war RP.

Grrr....Verflixt! I hate it when I miss out on fun. While the Confederate peoples are not exactly fond of the idea of going to war, they have a very proud and commendable military history--a tradition that the U.S.S.C.F. has continued, at least in the sense that their military vehicles (land, air and sea), weapons, designs and tactics/logistics have been given a full revamp/resupply/rebuilding, making them an efficient force--and the compulsory two years of Military Service to the State (starts at age 18, unless you are otherwise found unfit (physically or mentally) for service, or have the required documentations and letters of request from various officials (not gonna form the details of WHO exactly, at the moment) that prove you are either a University student, or are already doing your part for the State with consistent work ethic (many dropouts TRY to go this route, but learn too late they shouldn't have slept in class, or not studied). Approximately two-thirds of U.S.S.C.F.'s TOTAL population has served at least in one year of millitary service (six months basic training, six months advanced or, if there's a war on, 'In-field' or "Near-field" (field as in the battlefield where the front line is) training, like what the Herald went through). About a third of that fraction remain in the military (in whatever respective branch/corps./etc. they made it into), while the rest either finish their second year and move on, or are allowed early leave from their second year for excellent performance or other such reasons, including academic requests made by universities, etc. (though this does have a catch--if more troops are needed, and you got to skip your second year, you are on the list of people to be called into immediate military service at the discretion of the State). So that means 22.4 % of the current U.S.S.C.F. population (now at 1.092 billion) is almost constantly in active duty in the military. (Lesse... 0.22 x 1.092 billion = 4,875,000 men/women constantly on active duty...and this is during peacetime, keep in mind, folks).

To put it simply...me no understand.   ???

......

*SLAP!*

Just kidding. Seriously, though. What I meant to convey is that the U.S.S.C.F.'s military strength and technology is modern, up to date, and while still a bit traditional in practices of rank and such, adapts fairly well to modern warfare and not-so-modern warfare alike. Would have been kick ass to see U.S.S.C.F. troops in action, for once. >:(

So why didn't you just say that in the first place?

Because I'm an intellectual, damn it--damn proud of it, and damn proud of expressing it, too. :P
Title: Re: I return!
Post by: Trey on August 07, 2007, 08:20:53 PM
Hey, I'm an intellectual, too.  I just don't speak "military", and none of those acronyms were familiar to me.  Also, paragraphs would be nice (to make it a little less unwieldy).

It would make you sound more intellectual if you used real words (not intellection).   ;)
