Iceknave

Inception to CN
Armed Federation was established on October 22nd, 2008.

New Pacific Order
Iceknave joined the New Pacific Order because at the time, New Pacific Order was the only alliance that had two individual attempts to recruit him, which tickled his curiosity. He felt that the size of the alliance and the rich history illustrated that this is an alliance that is very strong and is capable regardless of whether he join or not and hence, making it interesting for him to join. Iceknave became a full member of the New Pacific Order on Thursday, October 28th, 2008.

New Pacific Order has been the one and only alliance I have joined. I currently do not have aspirations to join another alliance, despite the devastating impact of the Karma war on my nation. I believe strongly in loyalty to one's chosen alliance and that there is almost no reason for a nation to leave one's chosen alliance.

Influences
Three people who stand out as the most influential to Iceknave are; Baldr, navblue and Silent Jeune. They have all been influential in different ways:

From the economic and tech selling perspective would be Baldr. Iceknave feels Baldr has spent much time and effort in teaching him everything he knows about tech selling and has been extremely helpful in teaching him the foundations of CN economics, allowing him to develop his nation into the powerhouse it was before the Karma War.

From the military aspects of CN would be navblue. He has guided Iceknave through my early wars, teaching him everything he has used as the foundation of combat ranging from the early wars to the more recent and current wars. By bouncing ideas of various advanced tactics off navblue's mind, Iceknave feels he has been able to plan out and execute some very advanced battle tactics, normally not taught as part of the standard material in the Academy as these advanced tactics are highly situational and require serious thought before implementation.

Third, from a slightly different perspective, would be Silent Jenue. Starting out new in CN, Iceknave found the Tech Ring that Slient Jeune was running to be very helpful and well organized. This lead Iceknave to the desire to join Silent Jeune's squad, PDA (Parental Discretion Advised). Although Iceknave's nation strength was too low for a while to join this squad, he eventually got the chance and is now proudly a member of PDA.

Serving in the Military Command of the New Pacific Order
Iceknave was invited to join Milcom on Wednesday, July 15th as an NCO for Alpha Battalion. He is currently working in Alpha with fellow NCO Trigon and Lieutenant looneylew. Not coming from a typical background, such as Praetorian Guard or the Diplomatic Corps, he is still taking his time to learn the ropes, but seems to be fitting in just fine.

Professions Past & Present
Iceknave's Current Job Dogtags  

I have not experienced everything being in Milcom yet and so therefore, it is difficult to compare both occupations at this time. Both however, have been positive experiences, teaching me about different aspects of NPO.

Future Endeavors
I haven't really planned out my future in CN or in NPO quite yet as Karma really needs to get their act together before any of us can really move on. One lofty goal that my squad and I have discussed is acquiring a number of wonders while being a member of Alpha, Beta, or Gamma battalions in order to further strengthen our nations' defensive and offensive ability in preparation for the next war.
