Location: Selfridge ANGB, Michigan

General Announcements:
It's been a rough week in RL for me, resulting in 2-clicking and no articles.
I apologize for missing Movie Night this past Wednesday. I may present a make-up (make out?) Movie Night or just let it ride till next Wednesday.


This weekend we are at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Mt. Clemens MI, my RL home town. Selfridge is the home of the 127th Wing, Michigan Air National Guard, and serves as a joint DoD and DHS installation. The 127th Wing is also host to more than 40 tenant units representing every branch of the active duty military as well as Reserves and National Guard, Coast Guard, Border Patrol and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

USArmy Basic Training Graduates

USArmy Recruits, upon security clearance and acceptance, are put through a Basic Training Program which helps them learn and understand how we "play Army" within the game of eRepublik.
Recruits are required to demonstrate a variety of skills including several methods of communication, proper dress uniform, plus understanding and following orders. As simple as this seems, our Reception Battalion (RECBN) does weed out players who are not suited for the military aspect of eRep, so these do not become a drag on the cohesiveness of the fighting units.

USArmy Executive Officer Lieutenant General Kyler Lee Octan, along with RECBN Drill Sergeant Michael Francis, join all Officers and Soldiers of the USArmy in congratulating recent graduates of our own USArmy Basic Training Program.



These soldiers have demonstrated proficiency in the duties required of a United States Army fighter and demonstrated the activity a fighter needs.
They have graduated the Reception Battalion and been promoted to Fighter First Class (FFC), and may now sport the Reception Battalion Graduate userbar in their US MilForum signatures.

Fighter First Class McPingvin: 5th Division, 2nd Platoon, under CO 1Lt Bluh.
Fighter First Class Teddy Roosevelt: 3rd Regiment, 1st Platoon, under CO 2Lt Myrielle
Fighter First Class Till Heckler-Koch: 11th Regiment, 2nd Platoon, under CO 1Lt Kole
Fighter First Class CheesyQueso: 5th Regiment, 3rd Platoon, under CO 2Lt Robin123
Fighter First Class Cleveland Fleman: 3rd Regiment, First Platoon, under CO 2Lt Myrielle.

Other Promotions:
Promoted from Major, Lt Col Doe22 moved up to become our 5th Division CO.
Promoted from LtCol, Colonel TheHarvester continues as Senior Officer of our Intel (S-2) Unit.
Promoted from 1Lt, Captain Jasoneye21 is now the Senior Officer of our Roster Maintenance (S-1) Unit.

Special Mention:
The very lovely and exciting Kria Erikson retired from the USArmy, stepping off as Lt Colonel and 5th Division CO, due to RL time constraints. Kria has joined the US National Guard, has won a seat in the US Congress, and may still be found in the USArmy IRC rooms most evenings.
Thank You, ma'am, for your excellent service, above and beyond any reasonable call of duty, to our USArmy. We look forward to your return to our ranks as soon as possible.
