Good evening sir.

I have a problem that I wanted to bring to your attention first as Squadron Commander, and you can move it up the chain of command as you see fit. 

I was sent a message from a new member Ahuva requesting to Discuss something important with me in private, I inquired what she needed to discuss. She is looking for a husband, and or a business partner. I turned down both offers in a polite way, and I have not responded to her friend request. I come to the group to have fun and relax a bit, my work schedule has kept me away for a few weeks, I'm working on that. I do not know if Ahuva will make the same request of others in the group, now that I said No, if you wish i can send you my emails between her and I. I do enjoy sharing my love of Battlestar Galactica and I want others to do the same and don't want anyone to spoil it for others. Thank you for your time

Welcome aboard the Raven Ben, I am Freya the Raven's Operations office and the assistant squadron leader for the Raven's only Raptor squadron the Seekers. I see you are interested in joining the Airwing, that is an excellent choice! Our CAG is Captain Michael "Mik Mo" Morelock and he should be reaching out to you soon to get you settled in. Take the time to get to know the site and when you are ready join a Squadron group page, select a callsign, and take the Viper and/or Raptor flight exams. Don't forget to join the Raven group page to keep up with the ships happenings. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to myself or the CAG. I look forward to flying with you soon.

Good Hunting!

Welcome aboard The Raven, Ben! I hope you'll take some time to familiarize yourself with the site...whether it be discussions or taking a more active role, there is something for everyone! I see your interest is becoming a Viper Pilot. The Raven Air Wing has six Viper squadrons and one Raptor squadron, all of which are in need of quality pilots behind the stick. You'll want to first choose a callsign (please keep it clean!). Next, you'll want to choose the bird you want to fly, Viper or Raptor. Viper is the popular choice and we do need Viper pilots! Take into consideration as well that the Air Wing's Raptor Squadron, The Seekers, are one of the most visible and active groups within the club. But that is what makes it all fun, because the choice is up to you! Next, you'll want to select a squadron to join. We're trying to fill out the active ranks with some squadrons, but any choice is fine! Now comes the qualifications. Although not absolutely necessary to fly, it is nice to be certified and will definitely look good on your record. There is the Colonial Defense Force (CDF) test, which is simply basic knowledge of the CDF and it's standard operating procedures. Then there is the Viper and Raptor qualifications. Pass Viper qualification with a 100% score and you'll earn the prestigious Top Gun status. Raptor qualification is passed with a 75% score. Here are the links to the manual and tests:

http://battlestarfanclub.com/group/the-seekers/forum/topics/raptor-and-viper-training-manuals-and-exams

They are in PDF format, so you will have to download them. The links also describe how to format your answers and the email to send off to Admiral Rivera for scoring. Note: send your answers to both emails to insure the Admiral receives them. VERY IMPORTANT: When you send your scores, be sure to advise the Admiral which state (or country) you reside. Also advise which craft you wish to fly, Viper or Raptor. This information is used to determine your tail number. Here is the link to the Admiral's email addresses:

After you receive your scores, we will certify them by issuing you a nameplate and then you will become a steely-eyed pilot in the fleet's finest, The Raven Air Wing! But remember, at the end of the day, it's all about having fun. And also, you get out of the club what you put in! I am Cpt. Michael "Mik Mo" Morelock, Commander Air Group of the Raven Air Wing and Seekers Squadron commander. If you have any further, questions, please feel free to ask!
