Every rose has its thorn,
Just like every night has it¡¦s dawn.
Just like every cowboy, sings a sad, sad song.
Every rose has its thorn¡K
Yeah it does!
Zayin Squadron walks up to the quarters of their ¡§beloved¡¨ commander, Nurel Turr, and they see that he is busy throwing stuff into separate piles¡K
Nurel Turr: Gawd! Turr should clean out his closet more than once a year! Good thing he has a lot of things.
NT: Okay, Turr what¡¦s this? Turr¡¦s got his women, uh? Hey, get back in there! You want Reap or Kramer to see you two! Bah! Women! Okay¡Klet¡¦s see¡Khis beer, definitely a keeper. Hope the rest of the wing doesn¡¦t see this and of course, money. But where is it!
Xander Dras: Um¡KCommander?
NT: Huh?
Furbo: What the heck you looking for?
NT: Turr doesn¡¦t remember but don¡¦t worry, you¡¦ll know what it is when you find them.
Satariel: Uh¡KT..Turr¡Kdoesn¡¦t remember? Augh! A crazy commander!
Sat: Colonel Reaper! Help us!
NT: Good, Sat¡¦s getting more help for us, what a great guy.
NT: Well, what are you waiting for? Help me separate the good from the bad, darks in one pile and whites in another.
Reaper: Whoa Lieutenant, what¡¦s going on?
Sat: Sir, he¡Khe¡¦s gone crazy! He¡¦s talking to us!
Reap: Who¡¦s talking to you?
Sat: Commander Turr, the loony who¡¦s in charge of us?!
Reap: Um¡KLieutenant isn¡¦t the squadron commander supposed to talk to you?
Sat: Yes sir but¡K
Reap: But what?
Sat: He¡Khe¡¦s talking in the third person?!
Reap: Turr? Nah! He¡¦s one of the sanest ones in the wing. He was part of the Corellian Post Office at one time and they ONLY hire sane people. Come, let¡¦s take a look¡K
NT: Gawd! Turr wonders where Satariel could¡¦ve gone. Turr thought he was getting help. Should¡¦ve been here by now.
Reap: Um¡Kmust¡¦ve be the influence of his last commander, Colonel Ford Prefect. I wouldn¡¦t worry about it.
Reap: Well, what are you waiting for pilot? Get in there and help him out!
As you can see, Turr has been very busy lately and still hasn¡¦t found what he¡¦s lookin¡¦ for and still doesn¡¦t remember either but he wants you to know that Turr is happy that there are responses from all of you. (Still haven¡¦t heard anything from CM Slothman though. Turr has even gotten an AIM name and still can¡¦t find him on IM). Turr, on the other hand, is glad that he did not lose LT Satariel like he was dreading and wants you all to know that, like LT Furbo, he is ready to go and has already proved that he is ready! ƒº There will be a comp coming up so quit waxing your fighters and get them prepped and ready for some fighting! Check the rest of the report¡K
Squadron News:
-Just a note for those who play softball/baseball, Turr had the pleasure of starting the rally that enabled the team to tie, and then scored the winning run in extra innings! Whoohooo!
-Like Turr said in the last report, both CPT Xander Dras and LT Furbo have reported in to me last week. Captain Dras is having PC problems, so if you let the whole wing know what is not going on, then maybe we all could help you out.
-LT Satariel has responded to me and said that he was experiencing problems with his T/F program but was able to DL it successfully and even fly a couple of missions! Whoohooo! He has also been very busy this week:
„h New email addy: thorsten@go2.pl.
„h Completed the ICQ IWATs test with a 91%! Word up!
„h Created uni¡¦s for all of us and designed a squadron patch. Turr has asked him to see if he can enlarge it (Which he has already done). Both will be attached and let Turr know if you want that to be the new squadron logo and he¡¦ll see if he can get it changed.
-Turr is just waiting on CM Slothman to respond. Commander, you have till Wednesday (7.18) to reply and let me know what is going on. If Turr doesn¡¦t hear anything by then, he will transfer you to the reserves as being MIA.
-Okay, like it was mentioned earlier, there will be a Zayin only comp starting on or about the 22nd of July and will last probably 2 weeks. Details to follow in the next report.
-Also, I have not received the Wing IV Squadron League pilot files or the Wing IV vs. Wing V comp files from either Xander or Furbo! The mission is FTIE 158 for the Squadron League and is due July 25th. Send them to both COL Ricardo and myself when finished. TC-174 is for the Wing comp and is due before the end of the month, send those files to me.
Wing News:
-Wing IV Squadron League is still going on! Due date is July 25th. See above notes.
-Also, the Wing IV vs. Wing V comp is going on. Mission is TC-TIE 174 and is due at the end of the month. Send those files to Turr ASAP since there is also going to be a comp starting next week. Turr has already flown the mission but he need the rest of you guys to fly it as well since his scores are nowhere near the high.
-Wing IV is still in need of a Doctor. If you are interested go to http://www.medcorps.de for more information and to apply.
-I am still taking applications for the position of Lamed Commander. If your interested send your applications to COM/FA Kramer
-We have a new Wing Message Board, It can be found in the TC Message Centre. It can be found at http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/view.asp?b=65&v=1&s=1. CPT Bret has started his weekly polls again, or just drop by to post anything you want :)
-Speaking of CPT Bret, he was awarded the Imperial Security Medal for reasons unknown. Turr wonders if Major Halcyon¡¦s new sports car is connected to CPT Bret¡¦s ISM?

-Empire's Him Magazine
17:33 - SA Kawolski [absurefire@aol.com]
Today saw a new era in the face of TIE Corps males to combat that girly vogue thing that threatened TC manhood and gave our manliest pilots the urge to do needlepoint. Put down that frilly doily because EHM: Empire's Him Magazine has relaunched! Go to http://www.chapmassiv.org/1/index.htm to see the relaunch edition now!

Orders:
-Recruit! Turr would like to increase the size of Zayin so we need to email some cadets and try to lure them to us. Beer, women (or some Chippendale¡¦s for the female cadets), food (okay, maybe not real food), money¡K Also, if we can get some more people (more than 6 total) then the next time we do an internal comp like this, Turr might be able to reward the highest scoring pilot with an IS-BW! Wouldn¡¦t you all like to have a chance to hang one of those shiny little metal things from your chest? ƒº
-Fly! Recruit! Fly! Take some IWATs tests! Fly!
-Turr would like some ideas of some comps, either with other squadrons or within Zayin! Let¡¦s get those creative juices flowing!
-Be on the lookout for an internal squadron comp¡Kcoming soon.
