The Slumbering Giant

News Flash! Nuclear weapons found in adolescent's school locker!
Now that we have your attention, business can begin. Unlike other editorial delicacies, this post has been thoroughly cleansed of its journalistic muse. You will find no "As a matter of fact's" here, nor any "It happened like this". This is not a news update. It would be beyond common logical boundaries to create a news post when the editor has been absent himself. Doing so would be excellent grounds for court-martial, and possibly execution by firing squad.
This post has taken a drastic turn, and an extra dose of grammatical 'roids to remain in-tact with the current events of Moon. In fact, the editor is quite oblivious to recent developments... if any.
On a lighter note, the first Fun Night has been scheduled for this evening by Sergeant Emblem140. Emblem took the initiative to revive the mummified corpse that Moon was quickly becoming.
The editor, also second-in-command of Tactical Moon, would like to make a formal apology to the entire company for his blatant absence as of late. Although it would seem he has good intentions, truth be known, he was most likely just blowing time on his new computer, and blaming his dismemberment on work. Poor man. Remember him in your prayers on the beach.
So, with the main power master switch groaning back into place, and the rust of a deplorable lull in healing mode, both GIO and Tactical Moon begin to rise from the ashes.

Cracking The Wip

Training in full flux, Tactical Moon appears as a ravaged, monolithic beast traveling through space... at times quickly, other times grudgingly. The new program has shed light on old problems, eating away the rust of change. The immensity of the program, and the amount of time spent on its development, has proven a true workout for the entire organization; both leader and soldier alike.
The slow phases of shedding old skin have turned to high speed, as the basic training classes are complete, and a new philosophy on combat has set its teeth deep. Many recruits have found the training arduous, difficult, frustrating... just as the designers anticipated. Yet a peculiar sense of extreme dedication and "stick-with-it" power has been salvaged, and the clan is humming with a fresh scent of energy.
Even through a lifeless waiting period, most of the new clan has held the course. These men of duty and willpower have proven unbelievably loyal and ready to learn, even though the sting of the new program leaves a mark at times.
Generals Cougar and Grimesy have been working steady to fullfil the tactical dreams of their classes, and with the students almost at mid-semester, the grades are being whipped out shiny and pristine.
Many members, even in the early classes, have found an interesting proficiency for their passions, and even a few have found their niche.
Still, a good portion of classes remain, and Tactical Moon continues to build a new generation of warrior.

Mission Accomplished

The work has payed off. Everything Tactical Moon has been bent on turning; all the anxiety and fast paced planning, has payed off. The first session of the new Moon Boot Camp was conducted last night, with extraordinary results. General Cougar622 conducted a seamless and well coordinated training class, with four recruits attending. The members grasped basic concepts well, practiced simple maneuvers, and learned the fundamentals of Moon. The long awaited series of educational programs has begun for the clan, and the new organization begins to train a fresh breed of warriors.
Strangely beneficiary to the clan was the recent dismissal of a traitorous age group. Members who will not be named that caused major disruption and chaos within the government were forcibly removed, and thus eased a great weight from the shoulders of Moon.
So far, the new moon is bright, and promising.

The Longest Day

With Educational classes completely finalized, Generals Cougar and Grimesy move to set up the long anticipated Boot Camp. The first class of around six courses will introduce recruits to the fundamentals of Moon procedure and game play. They will learn the basics of movement and squad ethics, along with the Chain-Of-Command and ranking up. Strict rules are set to be enforced during training, and infractions could put a quick end to a recruit's class. While the majority of new members anticipate the training, some are more eager than others, and wish to excel beyond expectations. These are the fighting men that Moon will see rise into glory, and make Tactical Moon shine once again. In all preparedness, it is a quiet eave to the event.

Tonight We Dine In...

With Commander Malac's 360 on the fritz, it seems a great deal of responsibility has once again fallen on the shoulders of two young generals. In recent talks, Malac has given a majority of the upcoming Boot Camp events to Cougar and Grimesy. While the new staff anxiously awaits training and official membership, these command staff members deal the cards of fate for the new clan. Tactical Moon, finished with the preliminary refurbishing process, has made itself ready for a new order. While expectations run high and dreams are boundless, Malac is always focused on the all-too-real limitations of a meager outfit, still cringing to life support for its old wounds. Yet, with a new staff comes new ideas and a change of heart, and the horizon is clearer than ever before.
Training is set for the coming week, as Cougar and Grimesy conclude their tests and plans for the new Moon. Anxiety is at their backs, biting and gnawing, but the real strain will show the edge when the fireworks start. Moon is silent; the deep breath before the storm.

Moon On Steroids

Some members are probably brewing the question: "A Scrimmage, so soon?"
Although this event has been canceled, Commander Malac did come very close to deploying Moon in its first major battle with an opposing force. As stated by Malac, the S.E.A.L.S. issued a friendly scrimmage invite for the coming week. With the pressure to reveal the talents and greatness of Moon, Commander Malac found this an appealing temptation. Generals Cougar and Grimesy soon found the transactions taking place, and advised patience. Through conversation and planning, Malac postponed the scrimmage to a later date, preferably after the new ranks are educated. While the event is indefinitely cancelled, a future battle may be in store.

News Flash

Updates, Renewals, Reorganization, Headaches. The terrible beast of a concoction has finally heaved its ugly head. This news bit may come as a twisted relief pill to some, and a dagger in the chest to others. As many members know, Tactical Moon has been undergoing surgery. A drastic change in ethics, government, training, and even the ranking system has shown itself strenuous on many, if not all. Members have vnished, ties broken, hopes lost. Yet, this day has proven the breaking point. A glass wall of fear has been shattered.
New members have been asking the question, "When's boot camp?". Their hearts and minds eager for education, and rightly so. Most organizations offer an educational package nearly instantly. In this time of change and reform, members will need to be content with the status quo. In a nut shell: Boot Camp may not appear in finality for another week, or more.
Generals Cougar and Grimesy have been in the thick and mire of restructuring the monolithic clan into something worthwhile; a task not easily or quickly completed. They have been working and striving for absolute perfection in every detail, not just in training, but in an entire new government of Moon. A new look and feel for the awards and medals system has been under work. A totally refurbished style of gameplay has been introduced and is being dismantled to a useable state. The industry of video game FPS tactics is going through a terrific shift in the company. Cougar and Grimesy continue to experiment and plan, test and scrap, introduce and deduce new and effective tweaks that will make the Moon experience unforgettable.
In short, to all new members that are eager and anticipating... Keep anticipating. You will be informed when the time comes. For now, remain patient and dedicated.
