I'm guessing a lot fo you won't know who I am just by my forum name. To be honest I almost did'nt remember all of my info if it was not for me backing up everything on CD's way back in the day. Anyways I used to be knowen as CL Kreed. I was actually really pleased that the GE still existed. It was sad for me to leave but I had to leave due to myself having to go to the desert a lot. and then getting stationed in alaska, getting married, having kids and what not. Anyways I wanted to stop by and say hi and slowly get myself reintergated back into the swing of things.

To be honest I remember only a few, fel, Dameon, stele, Junon, calcyon, and a few others I just can't name off the top of my head. The last position I held I belive was first officer on the VSD Striker. So who knows who all knows me..been a long time.

Greetings.

My PIN is 502. I guess you left approx when I arrived.

Nice to meet you.

Just curious were there pin's skipped with the reoganization as I am 2249. Since the number on the main page for overall is 901. Or are there alot of inactives in there. I feel alittle better though that of the other 30 people in the army only 5 have higher pins than me. Well not that its a good thing if you think about it..... But I do like also that, I assume the way my reserving went, that I joined in June of 2005 and I did not have an LSM-1S until within the last weeks.

Mike.. to be honest it is still a little blurry when I left. I had a lot of stuff going on at the time. BTW I'm Pin 18. When all this PIN stuff was created I was the 18th highest ranking person in the GE. So that made my PIN 18.

That's nice I did not know that, I would have a much easier to remember pin number then.

I remember the name but... the time... :p

A name so old that it must be decrypted for all the people.

Anyway - welcome back.

Ya.. I guess just by looking at all the new people I am pretty old. I'm wondering how many of you where recruited using the page I made for recruitment. hmm oh well.

Syrtaras · Post by **Syrtaras** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 3:36 pm

To anyone who cares: The assignment of PINs was done in a specific way that was dependant on the position on the rosters at the time they were introduced. They have nothing to do with either enlistment date or rank at the time.

To prove this, look at the following profiles:
1) http://www.empirereborn.net/profile.php?pin=21
2) http://www.empirereborn.net/profile.php?pin=35

Former Ensign Davisaurus has the PIN 21 and was in Omicron at that time. Former Captain Calcyon has the PIN 35 and was captain of the Vigilant. In my version of the rank equivalence chart captain ranks higher than ensign. Also, Ensign Davisaurus joined a lot later than Captain Calcyon.

Thank you for your attention. Someone add this to the READ FIRST section of, well, everything. And include it in every academy course no matter the topic.

wow I guess I was way off. When this all first came out there was no one lower ranking above me. Oh well I guess we all learn something new.
