OOC:1. Peo, it might be a good idea to write here all the names and ranks of players of EUtopia who serve in the EUtopia Armed Froces.
2. Are there any names for the ships in the Navy?

IC:
All members of the EUtopian Armed forces are advised to become member of the Military Lobby Group (MLG). The MLG's planning to start a soldiers union.

 

[unmerged(8022)]

All soldiers and officers other people who are interested in strong and healthy armed forces are recommended to join the Royalistic Party of Eutopia (RPE).

/Johan Banér leader of RPE and former Colonel in the Frence Foreign Legion.

 

[unmerged(10239)]

I would like to sign up for the Army.

(I hope this is the right place)

 

[unmerged(1522)]

[OOC:

If you wish to sign up for the forces, the GM are the people to talk to.

From the Guide: "For game purposes, military promotions will be handled by the Gamemasters. If a player wishes to assume the role of a member of the forces, s/he will need to get approval from the Gamemasters first (specifically regarding his/her rank)."]

 

[unmerged(4007)]

Looking at this force structure only reinforces to me that we desperately need to modernize the Navy and Air Force. The escort vessels for our carriers and our aircraft are woefully inadequate for the task of protecting our island.

[Vulture]

Mr. Peo has been verified as a CAPTAIN in the EUTopia army...

Mr. Shiiuga has now been enlisted for the armed forces

 

[unmerged(10239)]

Captain Peo,

Due to the injury I sustained during a training excercise in the SAS force back in Britain, I am unable to actively participate in combat.[ooc see character bio] I would like to, in this case, apply for the position of the lowest ranking officer possible, so I can pass my special forces expertise on to the men of Eutopia. I also have 1 year officer training from the Brtish armed forces.

Lance Corporal Patrick Murray.

Made you a sergeant in the airborne is that satisfactory

 

[unmerged(10239)]

Thats great!

Dunno if you want to chane it or leave it but Patrick Murray is my citizen's name

EDIT: [ooc: Just best to get confirmation from the GMs to see if this rank is OK ]

 

[peo]

This is a slightly off character post but anyway.
I need help with the naming of ships.
I don't have the imagination to come up with any names sadly.
So if you want the ships to have any other name than. CV1, CV2 and so on then please help.

 

[unmerged(4007)]

Well, there are two major ways to go about naming ships. One, you can follow the RN way, which is to try to find high-sounding adjectives for all the ships. The other is the USN way, which is capital ships are named after provinces or famous historical figures, escorts are named after cities or less famous, but influential, leaders.

So for CV1, if you followed the USN method, "St Brendens" would be an option, or name the carrier after one of our famed monarchs in the historical file. And of course, this can be mixed and matched, one can be named after a region, the other after royalty.

 

[HJ Tulp]

I think the RN way's the best. COme on, Undefeateble sounds better then St. Brenden.

 

[unmerged(10239)]

I suggest a combination of both.

Oh wait, I'm just a seargeant
