<p>Hello Colonials,</p>
<p> I have read the above statement and i know it posted else as well such as the Raven page and i think on another section in the forums. I do not interfere on how a Chapter Commander run their ship unless something is absurd or just totally whacky. I concur if you score a 100% first time around you are awarded the TOP GUN certificate. However, those members who took the exam and just did not make it on the first time out and have to re-submit at a later time. Will have the exam re-graded and if you pass you are given the TOP GUN award b/c you did the work and earned it. Although the coveted TOP GUN Award is earned by many a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>"Distinction"</strong></em></span> is also recognized to those who earned it the first time around. </p>
<p> In the eyes of the Commanding Officer any pilot who earns that recognition by passing it the first is considered a TOP GUN on the Raven. Any one else who earns their TOP GUN status after re-submitting an exam. Yes you as the pilot will earn your award b/c earned and accept it by submitting again if not no one would ever re-submit. You will still have your TOP GUN status in the BFC Fleet no one can take that away you earned it. With that being said just b/c a pilot is not going to be recognized as a TOP GUN assigned on the Raven does not mean you have to stop being a Viper pilot. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>However if you the member wish to get re-assigned to another squadron then submit a request to your CAG for approval. Once the request is approved i will need an email from the CAG to the pilot stating that fact. I will need said pilot to email me the request as well in order to adjust your tail number again.</em></span></p>
<p> Ultimately my concern here for anyone who joins the BFC is to keep it fun and also add a touch of realism when we are in character. It also my concern that no member should be told or convinced for their benefit that they must stop being a pilot in a particular small craft to transfer into another small craft they have no desire in being assigned too. My policy Fleet wide stands and it simple. You joined the BFC for fun! If you want to fly a Viper then do so, If you want to be in a Raptor then by all mean its all about you. If you want to pilot a shuttle craft easy my point is fly what you desire do not let status change your ship assignment or squadron. Again unless you make that decision on your own only without no outside influence. I have spoken to Raven Actual via subspace communique and i understand her line of reasoning.</p>
<p> It may seem unfair to a person, but you are a TOP GUN in the grand scheme of things in the BFC Fleet wide overall. Just because a member does not make 100% right out of the gate should not sway your decision making process this goes for everyone in the BFC Fleet and those considering to join. Be the pilot flying what you want everyone here is a Fan and more importantly here for the FUN. Thank you for reading Colonials.</p>
