A.C.E
Aviation Combat Experts, or A.C.E, is a program to not only continue the suffering of our bureaucrats with the creation of yet more acronyms for training programs but also to make our Sky Breeze have people who are better trained in using the Sky Breeze, as well as improve the potential skills of crew members on the Typhoon and any other flying object we potentially make in the future. Of course, this is naturally easier said than done, after all, there are quite a few differences between flying a Sky Breeze and being part of the crew on the Typhoon. So, we split the program into three parts. The basics that all training in A.C.E go through, whether they are going on a big multi crewed airship or a small Sky Breeze. The basics consist of Arial Inkmanship, Spotting, how wind effects things, and also how to tell if something is broken or wrong, as well as a few other things that are found interesting. Then, its split between those going in the Sky Breeze's and those going into the Typhoon, or any other airships we make in the future. The Training with the Sky Breeze's is done by those refereed to as Ace's, in other words Octolings who have been flying for a while and have proven their extensive skill in the Sky Breeze, and important things taught in this section is how to use sneaky mode properly, how to do evasive maneuvers, how to effectively use the sails to get into or out of combat and to maneuver, and other fancy things that will make our Sky Breezes more annoying. Meanwhile, the Typhoon work will be mostly on maintenance, how to bomb things effectively, and more focus on spotting, naturally the more maintenance side of things will be taken care of by Helen, and honestly, most of the training for Typhoon work will be done by her and the captain of the Typhoon seeing how as far as we know those two are the best at flying giant doom machines of ink.
E.F.F.E.C.T.I.V.E.R.E.F.L.E.C.T.I.V.E
Engineering Focused Forces Equipped for Creative Tactical and Industrious Vehicular Enforcement and Repair as well as Expanded Fortification Leveling in the Extreme and Creating Transportation Infrastructure for Victory Establishment, or E.F.F.E.C.T.I.V.E.R.E.F.L.E.C.T.I.V.E, or the one acronym to rival S.O.C.K.E.T.W.I.N.R.A.R. or Please have mercy on the bureaucrats and name it anything else, among other names, is a program to create Engineers. Combat Engineers to be exact. Their skills will be in the maintenance and repair of vehicles, the creation of defensive structures and fortifications, the creation of traps, the deconstruction of enemy fortifications, and lastly the least focused on aspect of the program but still important to be mentioned, the creation and maintenance of infrastructure to make sure those who are marching get to the front quicker. This needless to say is quite a lot for them to do, and they are commonly equipped with enough tools that they can only carry light weaponry. However, with the greatest engineer Helen training them, they should at the very least be very good at the repair of vehicles, though the other stuff might be a bit more difficult. Either way, they will make everything go on time and make defense just that bit easier for us and just that bit harder for our enemy. Those picked for the program will also be those with at least some artistic ability, or at least with some quick wit, mostly for fancy designs or funny writing to be added to vehicles for moral reasons.
S.A.M.U.R.A.I.L.I.F.E.
The Skilled Authoritative Marshal Unit Ready for Agent Infantry Leadership and Intellectual Fighting Exercises, or S.A.M.U.R.A.I.L.I.F.E is the program for picking the most tactically adept and inspiring agents to be put into leadership positions of squads, leading them through both good times and bad, and coming up with plans so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a fox that will surely outclass the plans of any average old group of inklings. Of course, these officers will not only be trained in the art of tactics and inspiration, but also in being upstanding members of the military with class and honor. In other words Octolings for others to look up to and act as good roll models. Needless to say, this will lead to more effective squads as they are lead more competently, however, the S.A.M.U.R.A.I.L.I.F.E is not limited to just run of the mill agents. Those from the S.O.C.K.E.T.W.I.N.R.A.R project and any other future project can have those trained in the S.A.M.U.R.A.I.L.I.F.E as well. Additionally, while those of the S.A.M.U.R.A.I.L.I.F.E are officers, they can be equipped with whatever they want, however they always have a Krakenblade on their side, and tend to be at least semi skilled in using it. After all, what is an officer without their trusty blade?
