[UM] An internal competition
The Mike
The Ultramarines were formed on Day 1192 (25 February 2011), just before the formation of the USAF. Soon after the formation of the USAF, we merged into it as its third branch. We have a wide breadth of experience, with many members opting to stay within the unit even when they could move on to the Special Forces; this means that there are always experienced people in the unit to assist the less experienced when they join up.
The requirements for membership are:
- Previous experience in a military unit is preferable.
- High IRC activity is required (all supplying is in IRC)
- Generally high activity and engagement in eRepublik is preferred
- Must join the in-game MU
- Full membership in the MU only attainable at Field Marshal rank
- Commitment to follow (set by the NSC) eUSA orders to fight for eUSA and its allies
- MU members expecting supplies are also expected to work in UM communes
- Passing our screening to ensure a ‘good fit’ with existing unit members[/u]
Our fighters are currently provided with 3 drops of 7 Q7 tanks (and food if needed to be able to fight) daily. All supplying is done in real time through the unit’s private IRC channel, so IRC activity is the only way to get supplied.
The purpose of this article, apart from shameless advertising about our MU, is to inform the MU members and others about an internal contest starting this Wednesday.
So, what exactly is going on here?
This is a non-military contest. It aims at rewarding all soldiers who are also following the governmental media. The task will be to comment with the UM slogan "COURAGE AND HONOUR" under each government article released, while the competition is ongoing. The term "government articles" is meant to be self-explanatory, so I won't be going to list them all. Part of the action will also be to discover the respective newspapers
😛
Points will be allocated regarding how soon a comment has been posted after the respective article has been publishe
😛
up to 4 hours (incl.) after publishing: 3 points
up to 12 hours after publishing: 2 points
up to 24 hours after publishing: 1 point
up to 2 days after publishing: 0.5 points (half a point)
Commenting under DoD articles, will award you with double as many points!
😛
We will keep track of it and will publish the doc after the competition. The competition will run for articles published between eDays 2,157 (Wednesday) and 2,161 (Sunday) including. The results will be published on eDay 2,164 (Wednesday) and prizes given away by eDay 2,166 (Friday).
Can I participate ?
All current members of the Ultramarines in-game MU are expected to participate in this competition.
Are there prizes ?
Yes. A minimum of five soldiers will be rewarded according to their performance

[removed]
Private donations. Thanks for asking.
now that's what i call a nice and polite reply unlike valiant thor though it still does not change my mind about making you pp of afa no one will be able to resist the bribes that they will offer you to try to do things like change the name to don't vote for us and things like that...
I have not been bribed to do anything, and I will not be bribed to do anything. And I have no plans of changing the name.

The problem with both this MU and this contest is that my tax dollars are supporting both...
Stop funding every National MU except the eUS Civilian MU, 4 of the Top 5 MUs in America are totally independent; Easy Company is consistently the #1 MU and receives NO TAX DOLLARS....
STOP FUNDING THE USAF....
This is funded by private donations. Anything else that is an issue about it?
Prove that you are not using American Tax dollars, until you can the belief will be that America's taxes are being wasted on this contest....
I don't have to prove you anything mate. Also, I am very sorry for you, if you really have so little belief in the people you elect for leaders of this country..
I didn't elected them mate, they were appointed by Party Presidents whose agenda is to make sure their people get into congress; also like a huge majority of Americans who simply didn't vote or voted for Talostastic for President I didn't vote for Josh Frost either....
Then you should learn to accept the election system as it is, or do something to change it, instead of voicing flaming discontent all the time.
So who do you suggest I talk to about changing the political module, Plato or the Headless Chicken?
Can you guys show the annual figures of where taxes go in the military?
Only Congress members may ask for that information. Ask as a Congress member you are told it is a state secret and only the Economic Council -which is headed by the President of Cyprus kemal ergenekon- may ask for that information.
Don't believe me? Go over to the eUS forum on the Public Congressional Proceeding forum and ask that question.
