Willkommen, Rekruit!

New recruit candidates are asked to carefully follow these instructions:

1. If you have not already done so, report immediately to the recruiting tent at http://www.jasta5.org and submit an application to the German Army Air Service and Jasta 5.

2. Register on this forum and follow instructions for activating your account (you must click a link in an activation email sent to you during the registration process).

3. Log back on to the forum after you activate your account.

4. Join the "Rekruit" user group. To join the Rekruit group after logging on to the forum:
- click on the User Control Panel (UCP) in the upper left corner of the forum window.
- click on "Usergroups".
- click the radio button located far right of the "Rekruit" user group
- scroll down to the bottom of the page
- make sure the drop down menu indicates "join group" and click submit
- click "Yes" to confirm and wait to be taken back automatically to the previous page.

You should now see "Rekruits" listed as a group you are a member of.

- select the radio button that now appears to the left of the "Rekruit" group.
- scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the "Change Default Group" in the lower left corner and confirm submit changes.

5. IMPORTANT: make a post here confirming that you have submitted your application AFTER joining the Rekruit user group described above. Click on the Luftstreitkräft header link to be taken into the forum area to make your post.

6. After you have made your first post on the forum, scroll down and locate the newly appearing "RoF New Recruit Induction and Orientation" forum area. Follow the additional instructions found there.

NOTE: new recruits are initially given probationary access to areas on the forum but are not able to post as they read, watch, learn. At the conclusion of your probation, (as you become involved with the Jasta and get promoted and participate in the life of the group more fully via Teamspeak and flying with us) you will be able to view/post more freely throughout the forum. This helps new recruits not make any mistakes or blunders early in their career.

7. Start visiting us on Teamspeak via the Radio Room at http://www.jasta5.org. Ask questions!

Congratulations on starting your career with the Greentails of Jagdstaffel 5!

Salute Liebe Herren!

Some of you already met me, I've been around since the last summer. I was born in the late 70's in Poland and been an aviation (WWI in particular) fan since high school - hence the nickname some of my friends bestowed upon me ages ago - Baron.
Thank you for accepting my request for this probatory period and I hope you'll find me a valuable addon to this fine squadron!

Good day, fellow pilots, I’m making my initial post as a new recruit:

I’ve been interested in WW1 aviation since the days of Blue Max and Dawn Patrol board games. We would play using actual scale models in place of the cardboard tokens. I have flown Red Baron and Rise of Flight but never consistently enough. I was looking forward to the career mode in IL2 Flying Circus but was disappointed in the AI flight model, so I decided to check out the multiplayer servers. I started with the Knights of the Sky server and enjoyed all the various mission types, but it seemed like it wasn’t always very active, so I went to the Flugpark server. That was a bit of a learning curve, flying solo and getting shot down without notice from both AI and human pilots. I started looking for a group to join, hoping for some tips and training, and saw that J5 pilots were very active. J5_Sturm was one of the first members I started talking to and flying with, and have since been flying with Matthias, Daedallus, Mai and Josef_Tabone -all have been very helpful.

I have the majority of online hours in the Fokker Dr1 and have finally begun to hold my own and win some in a dogfight with a human pilot. A distant second is the Albatros Dva, but I like the stability as I’m starting to get more experience attacking ground targets.

Pb is short for Pharmboy because I’m a pharmacist and live in NE Indiana near farm country – not because I’m usually shot full of lead. But, because that is true also, the atomic symbol for lead has become my new avatar.

Looking forward to next steps with Jasta 5,

Andrew/Drew/PbDrew
