Welcome
So Say We All !!!!!!
Colonials,
I just wanted to take my time to congratulate four of our young Raven members on the Raven Battle Group, for achieving excellence in school. We may do what do here on the Raven Battle Group on the side for fun but what matters the most, is what we really accomplished in real life. Well, four of our young Raven members have achieved excellence in school by making it on the honor roll list in their respective school ( A's and B's on ) on their first 9 week grading period. These four young Raven members are certainly off to a good start for this school year.
1. Ensign David "Wedge" Sangrey- Youngest Raven Raptor Pilot ( Seekers Assist. Squadron Leader )
2. Lance Corporal Jr "Scorpion"- Young Raven Colonial Marine
3. Private Abraham " Menace" - Young Raven Colonial Marine
3. Raven Honorary Member - Eddie " Marine Enforcer Jr." - The youngest Raven of all
Please JOIN me in congratulating these young Ravens for a job well done in school. Scorpion, Menace and Marine Enforcer Jr, have all been rewarded already for a job well done in school. "Wedge", as my promise to you for getting good grades, you have earned yourself a Raven patch and lanyard. Thanks for the screen shot of your grades in school. Your Raven patch and lanyard, will be mailed out here shortly.
In Service,
~Raven Actual

Last Night with the Ravens (Part 1)
Read on and see what happens when a Flock of Ravens get together. The questions fly about anything and everything. Then just when you think it’s coming to an end, The Cylons decide to spring a sneak attack to neutralize the Ravens.
Don’t skip a word of this very interesting chat session and make sure you follow it to the very end to see how it all works out with, “Last Night with the Ravens.”
I don't believe my eyes and ears! Everybody is being a chatter box right now in the chat room :-)
Good Evening, Dragonlady Ma'am.
Good evening, Admiral!
Hello Wedge! How are you this evening?
The Seekers are eating chatroom bandwidth. MIK MO is creating a stable full of thoroughbreds. Drive on seekers!
My boots are shined, bird is at the ready!
OUTSTANDING MIK MO!!
New Graphics? how exciting!
Actual is the Queen of BFC and world class graphics. Check out our banners.
I've seen them, they are Really cool!
Also designed our patches.
That I didn't know, that's cool!
And challenge coins, they make good incentives.
so... Like anything raven affiliated, it's actual?
Roger.
I do my own graphics for the Raven so it is our own property. Other groups have been trying to copy what we do here on the Raven which is flattering but can be annoying though.
AND most BFC items.
I can see how it'd be annoying. immitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it's annoying.
Those membership and Command coins look great!
"Don't forget to visit our gift shop before you leave."
hahaha
is that gift shop located in the flight pod?
The Command coin is given out to all Raven Command members. When you have put in your time Mik Mo and Wedge, I will personally give them to you.
Yes, the launch tubes of the starboard one.
All but the Leadership coin. Including Planet Colony Patches.
wow... that's a lot of stuff.
(Salutes)
I have other items I have not put at the store yet. Squadron patches are finally in the process of being submitted to be made. But I will not make them available until early next year for all.
Nice! Sometime my broke self will find some time and money to make a BDU set and have Raven's patch high and mighty on it.
I have a big project I am focusing that will be revealed to the public during All Con Dallas 2016
Leslie seems to have a good uniform set, right?
Depending on how motivated and hard working you are Wedge, I will help you out by giving you a Raven patch as my of saying Thank You!
I let her know that's the next thing she needs to do...hopefully soon!
Well then, best get cracking when opportunities arise! I'm hoping to get everything together by this time next year, provided school doesn't throw up any unexpected obsitcles
Ahhh school comes first. That is far more important. I tell you what, what grade are you in?
Sophmore, High School (10th)
Tell you what, show me good grades and that will earn you a Raven patch? Fair enough?
Fair enough here. That will make them very happy.
Wow Wedge! You"re not old enough to drive a car, but you drive a million cubit Raptor!
Well, I've got my temps...
That's what the BFC is all about!!!!!
As the lead Assault Raptor driver having to put up with a load of socially unacceptable Devil Dogs, Leslie's call-sign should reflect the positive attitude, strong will and sense of adventure.
close enough right?
Alright, then it is a deal! Wedge! Keep up the great work so far I have you seen you do here with Mik Mo!
As long as you don't ding up the flight deck, youre OK!
I haven't seen this many members signed in since our last mission here.
You're doing a great job CAG AND MIK MO, this is the proof.
He will have you fix them to his perfection.
Copy that, Actual. Mik Mo, Don't you worry, the precious flighe deck isn't gonna be getting any dings from me. I don't want to incur the wrath of the Chief
You know the knuckle draggers will have our hides!
Thanks Iceworm, You have always had the MARDET covered my friend!!!!!!!
Chief's job is not that easy trust me! I have done his job before!
"Cueball", King of the flight deck, doesn't like pilots. He's gonna gripe no matter what.
You might not, but I have done it several times.
Truth there, MARDET's gotten some people reciently too, that shows that you're doing your job well too.
And happy birds make for unhappy toasters!
Cueball's a great guy and I've always loved his personality when it comes to his job aboard the Raven.
Exactly
He's the perfect Chief in my book.
Don't think I've seen cueball on. He's the chief?
Good Evening! I was wondering what was going on in here.
Yeah, he's from the UK. The time difference is a killer for him.
Good Evening, Colonel. That would explain why I havn't seen him.
Let's see......I'm new and motivated......do I want to be a Mud Marine standing guard and saluting youngsters, or do I want to fly a shiny Viperor Raptor, be on my own away from the ship, and draw an Officer's pay and berth?.....let me think......
Good evening, Colonel!
This is the busiest time in recent memory since some of our top missions here.
Out
Good Evening!
Have a good one Iceworm.
May I introduce you all "THE TROUBLEMAKER" the KIngof the Mardets here on the Raven!
When are you going to join us for a Mission Colonel Enforcer?
Forumula for the club: X+1 members, where X is the current number of members we have.

Very Respectfully,
RADM Cherry "DragonLady"
Commanding Officer-Battlestar Raven-BFC 002
***ATTENTION ON DECK***
I am a firm believer in giving people chances to grow and be successful especially by wanting to take on a bigger responsibility just as long as they understand that by doing so, they have to be able to do the job what is required of them for that position. Raven Command will always be there to help people out if they need guidance. If people only want the rank and position and not wanting to do the job, then I have no problem relieving people from that position.
So with that said, it is with great pleasure that I announce, the new Seekers Raptor Squadron Commander- Ensign Michael " Mik Mo" Morelock! With the new position, he is also hereby promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade, with all the rights and priviledges that comes with that rank and position, effective immediately on this day of 16th of October 2015.
Congratulations to you Lieutenant Junior Grade Morelock, not only on your new position, but on your promotion. May the Lords of Kobol guide you as you start on your journey as the new Seekers Squadron Commander. May he impart on you wisdom, courage, and integrity as you execute the new position.
