wardawg,
We know you're anxious to get all membered up an' all, but hoooold yer horses pardner!
Read your application again. To get a number, you need to be a full member. That's fairly easy to do.
Fly with us a few times.
If all goes well write back to me and I'll set up a vote in a secret secluded dark area where we will decide your FI fitness.
Usually, you simply need to be alive to pass that.
This vote usually takes about 5-7 days.
Then, we will notify you of your glorious membershipdomness and give you your number, (your choice if available), access to the "Squadron" forum and "Admin" areas.
In the meantime, fly and get to know the mates.

PS: 55 is not available. Check the "Rogues" button on the front page for orphaned numbers.
