I proposed you as Adjutant (the appointment) with the associated promotion, so don't get antsy with me. I even recommended you were issued with a pony. Originally Posted by The_Snail

It's the Legion's SPECIAL number for Legionaires in the UK with SPECIAL needs. No need to be clever with any other fancy numbers, the Legion isn't renowned for doing clever.

Sir, Sir ... Sorry to interrupt on you way between bars, but any decision yet on the Adj? Originally Posted by jumpinjarhead

Please report to His Royal Spookiness at Fort Meade MD USA. When you go through the gate just tell them you are a Legionnaire and they will wave you through with an appropriate salute---once in the fort just drive around until you come to another BIGGER gate that is unmarked. Just drive right on through and there is no need to stop although you might wave to the balaclava-clad fellows just beyond the gate as they move toward you. Let us know how you get on.

I hear you are interested in recieving a pony (of the four legged variety, not the folding green stuff sort). Sadly, the only ones available have all been delivered to the cookhouse for tomorrows scran. Will this do as your mode of transport instead? It comes in pink as well, if that's any help.

- 09-06-2012, 19:34 #740I would have hoped you had addressed that whininess in your voice by now but it has escalated to near harpy level. I hope your attention to detail improves along with your morale in that I already delegated the adjutant selection to Stonker. Originally Posted by blue-sophist

Please commission him as the 2IC Alpha and ask him to let us know what his duties are. Why not also give him a suitable joining medal.
If you have gotten a back brace (my bat woman can tell you where to get them if not) give yourself another medal as well (try the lighter weight carbon fiber ones)"A democracy cannot survive as a permanent form of government.
