Syth and I would like to congratulate all of our weyrlings. You've survived your first flight (and considering the fact that no one has come up missing [yet], you've survived the subsequent practices as well). Your status has been officially upgraded to Senior Weyrlings.
This means several things:
You may fly straight beyond the confines of the Weyr. Please be sure to always wear full flying gear and be completely strapped in.
You must maintain your own harnesses and keep them in good condition. Each of you may come to my office and pick up a copy of the hidescroll labeled "Flight Harness Maintenance". It has very clear diagrams, recipes for special oils, and a list of the tools you will need to always keep in your weyrs in order to maintain optimum safety.
We will be practicing 'Going Between' very shortly. This is a sober task, and one that it takes concentration and precision to accomplish. Going Between is usually not the problem ... it's coming back that can be a real pain if you foul it up. DO NOT attempt 'going between' until you have had adequate instruction and practice in a safe setting.
You will begin practicing with your fighting wings. Your Wingleaders and Wingseconds will be holding practice runs. They will notify you of days and times, and what your duties will be in these practices.
Please be sure to always keep your supplies and kits organized and up to date. As Senior Weyrlings, you have clearance to apply to the stores keepers yourself, without written consent from a superior.
Greenriders, in particular: be aware that young green dragons can mature at various ages and sizes. While your dragons are still young, it sometimes happens that a half to three-quarters grown dragon can surprise an unsuspecting rider. Just remain alert and you'll be fine.
If you have any need to consult with me for any reason, either stop by my office, or have your dragon bespeak Syth.
Onward!
Weyrlingmaster B'kay
