Military ineffectiveness and the white rabbit

Canada, North East of England (WS) -- Whilst on the battle front fighting as part of the Resistance war against Canada, it has been driven home just home poorly our military is currently being run.

Checking in to see where to concentrate my fire today I found that both the irc and forum wanted me to fight in a battle that we have won 2 days ago.

I brought this topic up in the irc and within minutes it was fixed to reflect the current situation here in Canada, North East of England. If it only takes a few minutes to up date bot the irc and forum why was this not done earlier?

We ask our soldiers to fight in a coordinated effort but then don't supply correct information. I personally have been fighting bare handed as no one in the army seems to want to supply me with weapons or food.

Three weeks ago when I became active again, after a long hiatus, I applied to the army using the online form provided in the forums. To this date I have not heard word one from anyone in our defense department.

It is time to make some changes so that we don't end up looking like this all the time.

I would be nice if the rest of the countries saw us like this

"I found that both the irc and forum wanted me to fight in a battle that we have won 2 days also." - I agree with the forum; that is badly updated. But I disagree when you include the IRC, which you'll be hard-pressed to find not updated.

Just find a commander and ask them. Things like topic orders and MU orders are just put there for lazy people.

I'm totally new to all this but there seems to have been a presumption that we don't need to hold territory in coordination because "we will get it back in RW". France just held London 10-0.

IMHO since we clearly can't take on France/Canada with the forces and allies available we should take advantage of Ireland's Danish war to take back Ireland. But better coordination would be a great start! Sub 2

@Sir Alamein I am checking in on the correct irc channel

@tomazim If the army would return my offer to help via the google form I filled out I would know with whom to speak

@rbsna Coordination is how we used to win all of the time, but it seems that we think otherwise now.

@Dish You know it

oh the irony 🙂

Dnouser, been some folks on army channels all day, or most of it, not sure which channels you are using, possibly ukrp ones seeing as you are in their mu.

and yes, everyoen agrees stuff needs sorting, everywhere, not just the military.

I probably shouldnt be telling you this , But if you're fighting barehanded then you're doing something wrong .
There are so many people/parties/MU's/groups but Especially people willing to give you food/weapons if you need them . All you have to do is ask, shout , offer sexual favours etc
I cannot help with your other problems , I suggest you contact a member of Parliament/Congress or other elected official ............. oh wait ; )

Oddinary Day 1,497, 10:57

@Metalmicky999 I have been on #ek.coop several times today and when I mentioned the old info it was changed otherwise until just now when you acknowledged me on the channel I have heard from no one in authority.

Frerk Day 1,497, 10:58

Hi metaldurpy.

I would assume that if Dnouser says an "army channel" he means exactly that, especially as the UKRP does not have an official channel for their MU.

Oddinary Day 1,497, 10:59

@castaneda this is my point I have asked in the irc, in-game, and on the forums and so far no joy to be had.

'MONTY PYTHON WAS REAL'

Was that ever in doubt, and now, the men of the First Armored
Division with their famous close order swanning about.

I'd have to agree. Currently I'm still in the training corps after asking many times to the commander of the army that I'd like to look into joining there, and having him completely forget about me after saying he'd get back to me. To top it off, there's really no communication about when I'll move out of the training corps, since I'd really like to be receiving weapons to fight with, rather than having to buy my own constantly.

And if you look now, there aren't even any MoD battle orders, and there hasn't been for some time now.
