Yes get their personal responses, give Thomas as much as possible to work with. Focus on getting information, why they feel this way, what issues they had or have in detail.

It will be going under your mask so it doesn't matter much. It's going to be a new part of the uniform that we are working on.

We have everything we need from Ryan, so don't worry about asking him these questions anymore. Just a note.

Nice work Jason

I don't believe so.

Erics previous gear list should be sufficient enough.

Yeah it is not uncommon to wear a sweatshirt under your jacket. Encouraged actually in cold weather events. Just ensure that everything fits properly and is on par with our uniform standards. Eric can do a spot check of your uniform if you are concerned about fitment.

Eric can you share your old gear list with Jason

I never got to do what I needed with mine before I moved

Jason one of the things I was working on with Network 7 was a quarterly report where Henry and I compiled information for Marshall. We can work on that when I get back.

The idea is that it is a professional document

Graphs, stats, recommendations, issues etc. All of which you do already but compiling it in an easy to read format for our glorious leader

@Robert IL Please switch from the roketchat app to the web browser. Your photos will likely not be uploaded properly until that happens.

Matthew knows better than to give us an answer like that. I have a decent relationship with him, I'll ask him.

Hey, Thomas put me in charge of attendance for December. I understand not wanting to share personal information with Tyler but you know Thomas can't accept "personal reasons" as a proper excuse. Can you give me a little more information? You are important to our operations so it's important you give us some details.

Yes, noted thank you.

Did any of your guys practice the new drilling?

How big/fit is Jim? Would he be a good candidate for shields?

Do you have anyone from your network that would be fit for shields?

Knox Bible. Also good is Douay–Rheims

Are you catholic?

I see. Those are good catholic bibles, there's a lot of books that Luther had removed that you have probably never read. I suggest going to a Latin mass church if you get the chance, try an FSSP church.

Just a note, my opinions on the church right now, might help you to understand our role more and not get discouraged by everything that is going on in the church right now.

Pope Francis, and all his minions, are an affront to God. The church has been subverted just as our country has, by the same enemy even. While the church is of divine origin, the people within it are still subject to the folly of man. Francis regularly casts down the mantle that God set upon him, he spreads marxism and deism to the masses instead of Gods word. However, consider this. In doing so he is actually helping the church. In being publicly evil, he is allowing all of the other wrongdoers in the church to feel comfortable being so. This means that all of the previously hidden evils of the corrupted clergy are now out in the open and are on display for all to see. While this is immediately concerning, it is working to cleanse the church slowly of these things.

More and more young men like us, layman and clergy alike, are seeing these evils and recognizing that we must return to the traditions of the church, to fundamentalism. It is similar to what we are doing here, our country is battered and corrupt, a shell of its former beauty, but we still see that beauty and refuse to give up on her. We must think of the church in the same way. It will be these young traditional men that will pick up the mantle that Francis is casting down and restore the church. In the same way that we are of no good to our country if we bicker about conservatism vs liberalism, we must also recognize that if we give up on the church, the bride of Christ, we are also giving up on Jesus Christ.

I hope this eases or helps you in some way, if you ever want to talk about anything theologically or just about religion in general feel free.

I do appreciate the kind words, I will continue doing everything in my power to ensure our success. It's worth noting that everything I am able to do right now is because of other members taking care of me and my family for the better part of the past 5 months. Strength through unity.

I understand. I have to cross some T's though.

Have you taken personal time since you knew of the event? Did you take any time off knowing we had the event coming up in December is what I am asking. We gave quite a long notice to avoid this sort of thing.

Alright, is there anything we can do next time to ensure your attendance? IE; telling you sooner or something of that nature?

Don't want this to become a theme, I see it a lot and then guys disappear into work.

Lawrence would be great for our last shield team leader on screens.

Been there, ok.

On it

Hey Chris, Have you drilled with Lawrence FL? If so, can you give me some notes and let me know if you would sign off on him being on shields or perhaps a shield team leader.

Noted for both, will see if we can fit Wayne in

I am doing well, better than ever honestly. I shed all the dead weight that was my old life. We will have ourselves a good time I am sure of it.

If you have time to talk to Thomas about it, that would be a good idea at this point. He is hopping on now.

I think it would be good to clear it up

If he's not going, that's the right guy.

Ask him if he attempted to get time off. Him being so hostile to a simple question is an indication he is guilty of something, or at the very least on the defensive about a poor choice he is about to make.

I was thinking about talking to Ben. Did you drill with him @ND - Samuel VA

I'll talk to him

Hey can you hop on mumble please.

Got it thanks

Can you have Sam hop on mumble please

We make time for things we care about. I need 5 minutes.

Sam I believe. You mentioned he couldn't attend right?

Want to make sure I got the right guy :grin:

thanks...lol

We can just type if you prefer.

I think you should hear what I have to say before you send me a manifesto...it's not a big deal

Ok, well. The thing is with that... Ryan told me that you mentioned something different to him. He told me "Sam was displeased with the events of Philly" as your reason. That's why I am reaching out. I have no idea what your work schedule is... There is a discrepancy, so I'm just trying to confirm it.

Ok, well I am just operating off of the information I was given. Are you saying I should not trust your ND for some reason?

@NS - Jason TX Send me a screenshot of Ryan saying Sam was displeased from Philly

I'll get a screenshot, will clear it up.

You have mentioned politics to both me and Jason when we are just asking about attendance. I'm not sure what you are referencing, I'm just collecting attendance.

Is there an issue you want to talk about? Obviously we are all family here, don't want anything unresolved.

Can you try to be less hostile. I don't think the situation calls for it.

The fact of the matter is, I have asked every person in the org for their attendance, and followed up with every person who said they couldn't make it. In the case of Networked members, I went through your ND and received this information.

I am following up on a task I was given, nobody is out to get you, it's my job to understand the reasons why people are not coming. If you don't show up to work, your boss might give you a call right?

Jason was chosen by me to assist with this since there are over 200 members. Hence why he is messaging you, and everyone else, as well.

If it suits you

Hey can you hop on mumble please.

This is retarded. My work is 100% travel. I can go out to my car if it’s that big of a deal. I have to be in Arizona on the 6th for work. I have been off for 2 months due to a sales slow down. It will take me 2 days to drive to Arizona. I just can’t make it.

Got it thanks

Thank you king

Ben will be the last screen leader, lawrence will be placed in a pool of possible backups. I will let Ben fill his team.

@ND - Samuel VA please reach out to Ben and let him know and help him in any way to build his team.

We would like you on shields for this one. You will be leading a screen team. Find 4 guys who are agile, fit, and have decent situational awareness. Please work with Sam on this.

We have our medics already as it turns out

During the demo, our network roles mean next to nothing.

So don't worry about that

How big is wayne

We need the teams sorted out prior to the day of the event. Most teams are already sorted, this is what you may need Sam for. I can help you fill some spots, but get working on talking to guys.

Ben MD has accepted his role of team leader for screens.

Anyone else that we could use? For screens?

Will talk to Lawrence

Is wayne a big dude?

Scouting him for shields

I want that so bad for philip

Is he really there yet though? Would be such a rags to riches story.

Is he big enough and fit enough for the big shields?

And has he drilled

Thought so...

Ok, I think we may have to work with it

Please do

Someone who doesn't follow the rules!

If it was, tell him to message me if he's having issues

Mike TX has been added to your team. Need 3 more.

Charles and paul yes, ryan no

He's way to tiny

Alright. It sucks, but we are doing things the right way this time. We can't do these things based on anything but merit anymore.

If he has done well in drilling and is fit then yes

Final answer?

Jon doesnt have room anymore, so you can have mark

I can put your extra guy on another team

Heard

Will do that

Is charles fit enough for screens?

Ok, then your team is finalized.

@ND - Jon UT Remove Bill MA and Victor MA, they have been moved to screens. Add Jesse GA and Leo LA

Bill and Victor have been moved to your screen team.

If bill or victor have orderred shin pads they will be re-imbursed
