Welcome to the new blood!

[VADM pRett]

In the past two weeks, we've had 15 people apply to and be accepted into the 7th Fleet. That is pretty amazing, in my book.

What isn't so amazing, though, is I haven't seen much of a peep from any of you new 7th Fleeters. While our requirements are relatively lax, we do have a few that I want to make sure you're aware of.

1) Log in to STO at least once per calendar month.
2) Log on to the forums at least once per calendar month
3) Participate in one (1) Major Fleet activity*
4) Participate in two (2) Minor Fleet activities**

* = Major Fleet activities are those that occur on Friday and Saturday nights, twice per month (usually); attendance on one of the two nights is sufficient
** = Minor Fleet activities are focus events held on different nights of the week, e.g.: Kick A Tribble night is on Tuesday nights, and encourages folks to team up with their KDF characters; we have Elite Monday nights for folks to team up and run Elite STFs

Our Fleet, and therefore, Your Fleet, is only alive as all of us make it. We also highly encourage joining us on our Ventrilo (aka "Vent") server if you can. While far from mandatory, we have found that those that are on Vent frequently tend to be the ones that stick around and get more involved. We'll reach out our hands in friendship, but you have to be willing to reach back.
