I'd like to think I am an example of a the "not a Pelican in training or
(PIT)." I am the Student (capital S) of a noteworthy Pelican in my
kingdom. Having done some arts things, some service type things
(autocratting and the like), and a LOT of fighting, I continue to try to
learn the ins and outs of the different aspects of my kingdom's SCA
experience. 

Net result so far: I have received my Kingdom's Fighting Award (Defender
of the Stag's Blood), which is a big deal for Outlands fighters. NOT the
kingdom service award.

I'd say that shows you don't have to be a Knight/MOA's squire, at least
here, to be taken seriously. This helps to break the popular belief
mentioned, I hope.

(It probably helps, though, that my Master is about to be Knighted at 
Estrella.)
