Rank

Our "Rank" system is based on attending to Squad nights and special events, and not neccessary by skill or kills.
Our Rank structure is based on Rank Grade that are scaled up from 1-14 and can then be aligned to both RAF, USAF and LW Ranks who again wil be automatecly updates by our fine web system, since we fly for all countries.
See the Ranks page to see how the Rank/scoring system is working. The Rank system is to be respected, but the most important is to have fun and enjoy the game.
If the CO or the XO is not present, the Highest Officer in the room shall take Command, and organize the squad!


HQ

The HQ and the HQ mail is representable by the top Senior Officers in the Squadron. Only these Officers have the privilege to add and eject pilots from squad and give Admin privilege for the web site etc.
The "HQ" mails functions is set to receive and handle the following issues:
  • Applicants request
  • Promotions, Medals/Ribbons Awards, change of status(MIA on leave etc.)
  • Or general questions and mails that is sent to the "HQ"



    • Medals & Ribbons

    Medals are automtaecly promoted and some Medlas and Ribbons. But pilots can award them self or others through the BBS site for request post This to make sure that they get there deserved awards. It can be hard for the "HQ" or the Officers to always keep an aye on that;).
    See the "Viking Ribbons/medals" site for the diffrent ribbons and medals.


    Squadnights/Events & Training

  • See "Squadnights" for more info on the squadrons SN/Events scheeduels.

  • Pilot roll or hit fly button at the latest 2010est for first mission, and the last mission before 2200est to make it count for points/Rank.



    • Radio/Txt channels:

    For voice communication we use Teamspeak.
    We meet 15-minutes before on "Teamspeak".
    "Head set is recommended, since external speakers will interfere with the mic, and make it hard for others to hear you clearly!."


    Formation rules & flying in formation

    Formation flying is important to make things work in the air.
    See our default Formation Rules.
    The CO/RL is free to choose what ever formation he want, or tactics for a Events.

    Pilots listed "On leave" have the same status as Active pilots and have the same access and privileges to our BBS and admin pages, but are listed here to inform the squadron members that they will be away for a longer period and may bee up til max 2 months time. When returning and attending on a Squadnight/Events with the squadron before the 2 months, they will be put up on Active duty when attending on there first SN/events. If the pilot have not returned before the 2 month leave period, they will be put automatically on Memorial Roster;).
