Gents:
There is not much that I need to add to these comments - other then the CSA HQ's does have balls and I did do something about the AoA. After looking and asking for someone to step forward to be AoA Army Commander - NO one did. So I asked Gen. John Dargan, who once was an Army Commander to help out and he did.
If there was a PROBLEM with in one of the Armies, I would like to have been advised of the situation so that I could check into it and get it corrected.
Blasting fellow Officers in an open forum is NOT the PLACE nor is the the TIme to do so.
As for the MUSTERING part of the CSA side: It does not vary much from the USA Side of the Club...My purpose was to have the officers inact with each other. See how they are doing, if there is any concerns, is there medical issues that they need to be out for a few months, just keep in touch. I have posted our SOP for Mustering below: It is not hard to do and most Armies have a Web Page set up for posting your muster. I forgot to post this month myself - so guess what - I don't earn my points this month for mustering.
As I have always said, we are here to have fun and make friends - it only takes a couple of minutes to muster. As the CoA, I don't have the time to check the DOR for every member on the CSA side to see if they have register a game or in a battle for each month. I know that each of the Army Commanders and down their chain does not have the extra time to do that as well. It is so much easier to muster and everyone will know each month.
Musters:
Regretfully, we have members every month who just disappear. In order to keep our rosters current with active members who want to participate, it is necessary for members to identify themselves each month by mustering by using the following guidelines.
Brigade Commanders
Submits a muster report each calendar month by the 1st calendar day of the following month to his Division Commander. Example: At the end of January 31, a muster report is due February 1st to Division Commander. This means a short e-mail to his Division Commander, that he is still active and a short summary of his activities (battles, maneuver etc.).
After failing to send a muster report three times in a row and without responding to the notification of his Division Commander or Corps Commander, the Officer will be assigned to the Hospital. (See Member Status).

"Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable and most sacred right - a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people, that can may revolutionize and make their own of so many of the territory as they inhabit."
