Tempest Squadron Report
9/16/01

Squadron Orders
-First and foremost, please place your thoughts and prayers onto those many victims of the tragedies of this week

-Write a work of fiction for Cantina Run #4. This is *essential*. This is a very important comp that we did rather poorly in last time, and I don't want to see that happen again. Here's the deal: 500-1500 words on IS. It can be anything about IS. Back in Cantina Run #2 which had these same regulations I wrote a story on getting drunk in celebration and this was fine :P Also, if you don't happen to speak english as your primary language, there's no rule in this comp that says it has to be in English, so feel free to write a story in your main language. Won't win most likely, but it'll score us participation points ;)

I know this round is a pain for many reasons and I don't agree with a lot of the rules personally, but that dosen't mean we should just not do it!

-Recruit! Tempest can always use a few good flyers, so if you know someone get them in here!

Squadron News
-Big congrats to our newest LCM, LCM Dirk Logan! Logan's been with us for some time, and he's proven to be a great pilot who's been essential for our more recent wins. A valuable pilot I appreciate very much and I hope he continues to keep up his superb flying!

-Also congrats to our newest Lieutenant, LT Ace! LT Ace has already started some serious flying with a big CAB, which I'm glad to see :)

-A *lot* of heavy flying has been going around. Keep up the great work guys! Special mention goes to this week's ace, CM Kaneda Pellail ;)

-If some of you have sensed things taking awile with me, that's cause I really haven't been here this week... for some of the obvious reasons... I don't want to go into things cause that'd be getting kinda personal, but just know things should be picking up soon.

-Oh and btw, evidentely my Wing report last week didn't go out even though I tried to send it *twice*, but we did beat Eta ;P That's a sleeper hit if I ever heard of one ;P Great work though guys, nevertheless

Wing News
-Thunder and Inferno are locked together in a comp, good luck to both of them!
