SALUTE

CM Kenath Zoron reporting in for Mantis squadron on 02/14/2002.
(This would have been out yesterday but then some monkey (not mentioning any names :P) decided to send me 10 files to BSF :D Very good man, only one request: break it up into smaller groupings ;)

Squadron Status:
-Wow, no AWOLs, tranfers to Reserves or anything like that this week, that's a new one for me :P
-You all may or may not have noticed but the roster has been reorganised (finally). Now each flight is a two member squad and you should email your FL or FM depending on who you are and introduce yourself (I doubt it's needed). Check out the updated roster at the bottom of the roster.
-COL Miackus, I haven't heard from you lately, please email me soon.

Squadron News:
-Congratulations to LT Drake Jensen who has been awarded a Palpatine Cross for his extreme activity during January, flying 14 battles to help us gain a huge amount of citations.
-We've had 2 pilots gain new FCHG ranks and another 2 within a few battles of gaining new ranks. Congrats to LCM Remlinger who has now gained the title of Paladin and congrats also to LT Jensen who has gained the title of Gallant. LT Broskopf and myself are the ones who only need a few more battles.
-February FCHG competition current results:
0)CM Zoron - 73 points <--- That means you have to get at least 37 points
1)LCM Drax Remlinger - 95 points
2)LT Drake Jensen - 62 points
3)LT Serge Broskopf - 9 points
4)COL Miackus - 0 points
4)SL Mikhael Rheinhardt - 0 points
-Our citations are at 42 this week! That's amazing all! Keep flying battles even if the squadron already has the citation for them! We need to solidify our holdings on these so that when we get new pilots in, we won't lose alot of them! Although I would like you to first fly whatever battle that LT Jensen assigns then another battle.

Ship/Wing News:

1)CM Zoron with 13: TIE-DB, TIE-BHG, XvT-TC, XvT-IW, XvT-DB, XvT-FREE, XWA-TC, XWA-FCHG, XWA-FREE, MP Participation, MP Win, IWATS, and Fiction.
