I sorta like the noobs. Some of them even seem to be getting up to speed on the tricks of BCM, so I'm not going to fall into the mindset that they'll be easy kills. But then again, you never know!

Ok guys..it's time for December's Bishamon Fleet Rollcall to keep everyone in the fleet current. Please check-in, and as usual, I'll be keeping the check-in status updated below. Also, be advised that if you don't respond by the end of the month, you will be deleted from the Fleet database. I need people that I can count on to be here when I need them. There should be no reason that you cannot check in as I am also going the extra mile and sending all Fleet personnel an email requesting you to reply in this thread.

Hmmmm, maybe this would be a good time to do a whole system format before you install your new vidcard. I doubt your SoundBlaster has anything to do with your problem. I have used a SoundBlaster Live and a SoundBlaster 16 PCI and haven't had any problems.

antaren4279, have you tried totally uninstalling BCM and then doing a reinstall of it and the RC9 patch?

They will come in two separate volumes as you can read here. [ 12-02-2001: Message edited by: ShoHashi ]

How long do classes last, and what do you do in-between or afterwards? Work out? How does the work time work out during MOS school? I can only speak for the Field Radio Operator MOS at 29 Palms. When I was there..the school was "self-paced", meaning you could breeze through it fast or you could take your time on it. I took my time in it and graduated in I think 2 months. The reason I took my time was because of all the fun I had in Tijuana, Mexico. I'd always catch the bus from the base on Friday nights after school take it to San Diego and catch the trolley to the border. I'd spend the weekend in a cheap hotel room in Tijuana then head back to the base on Sunday afternoon. Classes, if I remember correctly, ran from 7:30AM till 4:00PM Monday through Friday with an hour and a half lunch. I'm not sure how they would do the family thing there, Silk. Being that the school isn't that long, I don't think it would really be worth it to bring the family along...or let alone if they'll allow you. You'll just have to ask. After class, you basically were on your time...you can visit the PX, go to onbase clubs or head out in town to 29 Palms. Silk wrote: quote: My only dread is I won't get to see my wife and kids too much... Unfortunately, that's one of the realities about being in the military and having a family...and if you go on a float, you might not see them for months. Heck, bootcamp is 13+ weeks long alone.

I don't know...when I was in computers weren't found that much in the barracks. Akira wrote: quote: P.S., Damn, Sho, I didn't know you were... Hehehe..you're my superior and you didn't know that?

At this time, I'm pleased to announce to Admirals Rattler and Akira that Bishamon Fleet is all present and/or accounted for. I'd also like to report that Commander Phelix Charyb aka Mrxknown aka John McMahon is no longer in Bishamon Fleet and the Insurgency database. [ 12-01-2001: Message edited by: ShoHashi ]

Aramike wrote: quote: No, seriously, the Corps is a great place to go. Takes a lot of hard work to become a Marine, but it's worth it. Aramike's right on this. Also, even when you get out, you're still a Marine..hence the saying, "Once a Marine, always a Marine." Silk wrote: quote: I could work on communications equipment, or be a combat radio operator or something. I'll see how well I shoot and decide what I want to do I guess. I was a Field Radio Operator in the Corps..MOS 2531. School for it is at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in 29 Palms California...right in the Mojave desert. It was a good MOS...I lucked out and was assigned to an amphibious tracked vehicle battalion. So basically I manned radios in a command track. Some other 2531s get assigned to infantry units and such. My company also had Communications Techs that repaired comm equipment as well. Gallion wrote: quote: Uncle Sam's Misguided Children are not noted for the techie type MOSs - unless inflight missile repairer C'mon, Gallion, I thought you were better than that! The nice thing that I noted while in the Corps, when you are an E-4 you are someone..you are an NCO. While in the Army National Guard, I noted that when you are an E-4 there, they are a dime a dozen..cannon fodder for work details! Anyways, Silk...you need anymore Corps questions answered..just talk to Aramike and myself..we won't steer you wrong!

Gotcha, Stickman!

What Aramike said! Other than that...it looks good.

Nice to have you check in, Commander Gretsinger! BTW, you'll need to edit your sig to match Captain Hasenau's sig further up in this thread. Put your own shipname in. If you need any help, let me know. Commander Yazin Re'trat, you also need to edit your sig to match Captain Hasenau. Also, you need to drop the CSO Dakoit Starbase part of your sig as that was one of those positions that were vacated months ago until the various Insurgent fleets build back up. Also, final check in notices have been sent to the last two Bishamon Fleet members who haven't checked in. If they do not reply in one form or another by the end of the week, they will be removed from the fleet. [ 11-25-2001: Message edited by: ShoHashi ]

As Fleet Commander of Bishamon Fleet, I'd like to welcome the newest member to the fleet...Commander Gretsinger! Lets give him a warm welcome to the Insurgency and to the fleet!

Thanks SC, for continuing the Battlecruiser line. And, as always, you will continue to get my support. I also wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for checking in, Captain Hasenau and Commander Yazin Re'trat! Need the last two to check in and we'll be good to go for November!

quote: Picked up EE last night and stayed up playing it for about 8 hours... addictive game... I picked EE up on Friday night also, Silk. It is a very good game...lots of things to do in it. It's like a bunch of different strategy RTS games rolled into one. If you feel like playing World War 2 one day, do it. If you feel like playing during the Rennaisance, do it! I'm looking forward to the scenarios people will be coming up with.

quote: Warzone is pretty neat. That's a steal of a price there, Charles. I have Warzone also...I thought it was a very good game at the time. Still have it sitting on my shelf!

It was pretty cool, Jaguar. I was outside at 5:30ish watching it with my family. I've never seen anything like that! Awesome sight!

As I had wrote in my email to you earlier in the week, welcome to Bishamon Fleet, Cmdr Phelix Charyb! I'm sure you'll be another valued addition to the fleet.
