OgV TeamSpeak 3:

You may connect to our server at: speak.clanogv.org via port 3500.

Be sure to review our VOIP server rules!

Ventrilo / Teamspeak registration is a privilege, not a right.

1. Call signs WILL NOT be offensive. [OgV] members must be in proper unifrom.
2. Disrespect toward admins or any other player WILL NOT be tolerated.
3. Non-members are free to use any of the public channels (gaming channels). All other channels are reserved for [OgV] members only. Non-members may be present in "Members Only channels" if invited. Be aware the protocols for "Members Only channels" may differ significantly from the rules in public channels.
4. [OgV] membership limited to people 18 years of age and over. Foul language is common in military circles especially in the heat of combat. We realize sometimes one might let out an offensive word or two during the game. This should be kept to a minimum on public channels. Remember this is a public server and at times there are minors visiting us on the pubs. Use discretion by checking who is on the channel and be mindful when visitors are present.
5. Non-member registered users (along with their registration sponsor) be held accountable for their actions.
6. Respect for privacy will be strictly enforced. Announce your presence in all command staff offices by stating: “Permission to enter, sir(s)?”
7. Keep chatter to a minimum in combat channels during combat. No one needs to hear a narrative of your actions in game.
8. Do not spam voice channels including broadcasting media or sound files in combat channels.
9. Failure to abide by these rules or those given by a Ventrilo Admin may result in your being kicked or banned with or without warning.

Membership in [OgV] is a privilege that must be earned through hard work and dedication. For members hoping to be involved in leadership of [OgV] much more will be asked - the ability to follow orders, learning and respecting the military chain of command, and consistent dependable service to [OgV] and your fellow [OgV] members is required.

ALL members, regardless of status, must observe our Code of Ethics and Conduct, agree with our general philosophy, observe and promote our core values, and follow our rules.

There are two types of active member status: initiated and uninitiated. 

- Initiated members include any active duty or honorably discharged military veteran and those civilian members who have elected to participate in and pass our "recruit" training.

Initiated members can be determined on the forums or in voice servers by having one or both of the following: a -V included in their tag ( as in [OgV-V] ) for veterans and/or a military rank included as part of their handle. Initiated members are the people from whom we select for leadership positions within [OgV]. Additionally, once they have achieved a status of at least NCO, they can be assigned as an admin for our game servers.

- Uninitiated members have been nomonated by an initiated member after establishing a favorable reputation on our game and voice servers and have been approved by the Council of Elders.

Uninitiated members will not normally be selected for leadership roles or be given server administrator priveledges. Aditionally, uninitiated members get no [OgV] tags of any sort during their evaluation period and may not even know they are being evaluated until they are invited to join. The length of the evaluation period is not specified and will vary depending on many factors (thinks months vice days or weeks) and in no case will be any shorter than the recruit period for initiated members.

The General Orders for Sentries are quite similar between the Navy and Marine Corps, the main differences being the titles of positions referenced in the orders.

The General Orders for Navy and Marines are as follows:

1. To take charge of this post and all government property in view.
2. To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing.
3. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce.
4. To repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guardhouse (or the Quarterdeck) than my own.
5. To quit my post only when properly relieved.
6. To receive, obey, and pass on to the sentry who relieves me, all orders from the Commanding Officer, Officer of the Day, and Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers of the guard only.
7. To talk to no one except in the line of duty.
8. To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder.
9. To call the Corporal of the Guard/Petty Officer of the Watch in any case not covered by instructions.
10. To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased.
11. To be especially watchful at night and during the time for challenging, to challenge all persons on or near my post, and to allow no one to pass without proper authority.

I am an American Airman.

I am a Warrior.

I have answered my Nation’s call.

I am an American Airman.

My mission is to Fly, Fight, and Win.

I am proud to be a United States Coast Guardsman.

I revere that long line of expert seamen who by their devotion to duty and sacrifice of self have made it possible for me to be a member of a service honored and respected, in peace and in war, throughout the world.

I never, by word or deed, will bring reproach upon the fair name of my service, nor permit others to do so unchallenged.

I will cheerfully and willingly obey all lawful orders.

I will always be on time to relieve, and shall endeavor to do more, rather than less, than my share.

I will always be at my station, alert and attending to my duties.

I shall, so far as I am able, bring to my seniors solutions, not problems.

I shall live joyously, but always with due regard for the rights and privileges of others.

I shall endeavor to be a model citizen in the community in which I live.

I shall sell life dearly to an enemy of my country, but give it freely to rescue those in peril.

With God’s help, I shall endeavor to be one of His noblest Works...

A UNITED STATES COAST GUARDSMAN.

(also known as the Recruit's Prayer)

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit.

My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.

Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy.

I am a United States Sailor.

I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and I will obey the orders of those appointed over me.

I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and all who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world.

I proudly serve my country’s Navy combat team with Honor, Courage and Commitment .

I am committed to excellence and the fair treatment of all.
