FRIENDS TALK

[Athos]

Finally. All registered. ....When I run for President, I'm pushing for education reform. That was honestly the most confusing way to register.

[Cloud Leonhart]

How so? Were there a lot of big words?

[Athos]

No. There was alot of different options to select, and the times are horrible! I can't wait to transfer out of there. And once that happens, hello Air Force!

[Cloud Leonhart]

Ah...do you have to go really early or somethin'?

[Athos]

No. I just want to get it over and done with. I can't wait to join. haha. I can't even imagine myself as a Lieutenant. haha.

[Cloud Leonhart]

What exactly does a Lieutenant do anyways?

[Athos]

First, in the Air Force, Army, and Marines, there are two Lieutenants. They is a Second Lieutenant and a First Lieutenant. The 2nd Lieutenant (2LT)is a newbie. Usually 2LT's come from 3 places: 1) Air Force Academy, 2)Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), 3) Officer Training School (OTS). They usually work with a Senior Non Commissioned Officer (SNCO). An SNCO is an enlisted person. In the Air Force, these people would be the: Master Sergeants (MSGT), Senior Master Sergeants (SMSGT) or a Chief Master Sergeant (CMSGT) to gain experience. 2LT's usually work under a Captain or Major. When you become a Captain or Major, you then supervise other people (officers and NCO's). Unless you're a pilot. Then when you become a Lieutenant Colonel, or a Colonel, you are usually a base commander. Then when you become a General, you are in charge of either a Group, Squadron or Wing. In some cases, a 4- Star General is in charge of a Major Command (MAJCOM). The MAJCOMs make up the Air Force...Sorry. I got carried away...I need to really really work on that.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Sounds like it's somethin' that's complicated that really doesn't need to be.

[Athos]

No, it isn't complicated it's just alot of info. XD.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Sure looks complicated to me.

[Athos]

haha. Well, I told you what you asked for, and alot more information. XD

[Cloud Leonhart]

That's probably why. I didn't really need the other information.

[Athos]

But it can be very good to know. You may need it just in case if you get on a military base, you can maybe meet the base commander. So if you get thrown into the brig, you can make your call to the base commander and he or she can get you out of there.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Can't I just call you?

[Cold Revolver]

Cloud, fancy seeing you hear man, you have not been online for a long while.. Hmm been having fun with friends? Or maybe other activities have been keeping you away from THE AA?

[Athos]

You could- when I'm in the Air Force. XD. But in the meantime, just remember, be nice to the people who have either a silver oak leaf, eagle, or a star(s)on their shoulder. That reminds me, I wonder how the Major is doing.
