Squadron News

Various medal awards this week, all of which are mentioned in the activity reports, but most notibly was MAJ Aven Kronn's Bronze Star, earned for his presence at the recent JediCon 2001 in Germany! :)

If you fancy some "friendly" banter with some lame Psi squadron pilots, then go to the Tornado message board: http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/view.asp?b=39

Competitions

Squadron League Finals
Our entries were sent off late on Friday...although we won't hear anything until next Friday at the earliest because for some reason it takes *that* long to compare two scores and work out which number is bigger. (Apologies for the excessive sarcasm, but I'm starting to get a little annoyed at the way things are being run >:P)

As for other competitions...things are a little quiet as of late, though I'm sure something big is in the works ;)
