Setting the Bar.

The Order is a Martial Order, one dedicating itself to action.  So Avalon will have a PFT, Physical Fitness Test that Members and Applicants must aspire to take and pass.  The Physical Fitness Test is based upon the Army standards and measures not only one’s fitness levels, but also measures dedication and discipline as well.  It’s something everyone will have to do, myself included, so it’s time to start working out and taking health and fitness seriously.

For intellectuals this will not be easy, but that is precisely the point.  We must strive on all levels to be prepared and in doing so train our minds, bodies and spirits to be able to handle the challenges ahead.  Some may have medical issues and that can be taken into account, however, everyone needs to still strive to do their best. Time to step up.

Look under the Membership link for the PFT standards and scoring charts.

I have undertaken the rebuilding of the website on the WordPress platform as it is still being updated constantly for new features, optimization and security.  The old site was hacked, essentially deleting it’s pages from the server.  Of course I was able to recover all of the deleted pages in minutes, but it did reinforce the need to switch from the e107 platform to something that enjoys a lot more active support and development.

So I am now busy copying over data, setting up the behind the scenes with the ability to have event calendars, galleries and member forums as well.  I have a lot done, just hidden from view on the main site until the time is right.  Hopefully I should be able to release more content soon.
