KAG Australia has undergone massive changes over the past year! We have
gone from weakness to STRENGTH! June marks the anniversary of the birth
of the Sundragon Fleet. Yes our Quadrant status was upgraded to that of
Fleet, on the Queens Birthday weekend 1998! And now, one year later, the
SUNDRAGON FLEET moves from being part of KAG International to being a full
fledged KAG Naval Fleet! QAPLA' !
In the past few months, we have seen a new trend emerge in
KAG Australia.
Not content with just being on a ship, many warriors, with specific talents
have undertaken to specialize in a chosen area, and form a "Department"!
This has done nothing but IMPROVE KAG Australia out of sight! We have the
Fleet Staff department, who put together all our guidelines, certificates,
the Warriors Way, just for starters... We have the Quarter Masters department
who have been doing stunning work in the manufacture of wooden imitation
weapons! The Warriors Academy started its first intake this year, with
weapons handling training as well as cultural information to develop the
warrior skills of those who participate! Our Institute of Engineers is
churning and burning on the web side of things, and have some great plans
in the future! I only hope some enterprising Warrior, won't start a Klingon
Occupational Health and Safety, this may be straying from our warrior mentality
a bit!
OK, some people do so much, and others nothing at all! Some say that
others are taking it all to seriously! Well, in my opinion, KAG is what
YOU PERSONALLY make of it! If you are content to sit on the side lines
and get enjoyment in watching, and a small amount of participation, that's
cool, but don't begrudge others for the effort they put in, that's how
THEY have fun. If you are one of the active members who are passionate
about expanding your chosen area of KAG, GO FOR IT! You do the Empire proud!
As long as you remember, that not everyone may have your dedication and
passion for what you are doing! Don't look down upon those who don't want
the same level of commitment to this hobby that you do! It's called mutual
respect! I am all for going in full charge and doing something, but I can
also really relate to sitting back and just enjoying things quietly as
well!
