| Tempest Squadron Orders |
Even though there aren't any comps this week, there's still stuff to do...- Check outthe new Imperial Storm III website (click here) for information on how to participate in Imperial Storm III. More on that later.
- Fly a TC battle for a citation, cash and fabulous prizes... ok, so I probably won't be able to deliver on the cash, but fabulous prizes I may be able to swing. ;-D
- Complete an IWATS course (or two, or three). Even I have a few to do now!
- Recruit pilots into Tempest Squadron. The more the merrier!

Fleet News Imperial Storm is back for a third installment. It would take far too long for me to describe it any better than they do on the IS3 site so just check it out at http://www.emperorshammer.net/wo/is3/.There's a new Flash IWATS course (that's 3 new courses in the last month for you IWATS fans out there). Check it out at http://iwats.stardestroyer.org/. All IWATS courses, of course, can be found on the Imperial Academy course listing page (http://www.imperialacademy.org/courses.asp).Wing VI is shut down and it's members are sprinkled into approximately equal positions aboard the Sov. I guess I can stop waiting for a response from Tav with respect my competition challenge. Hopefully, this will increase overall activity aboard the Sov.As always, you should check out the fleet news to catch all the stuff that doesn't make it into this report.
Wing News Top billing this week goes to *drum roll* US! Congrats on helping make Tempest Squadron the Wing X Squadron of the Month! W00t!Congrats also goes to Boliv for Wing X CMDR of the month and to LT Karce for pilot of the month! Well deserved acolades to both of them.Locke is currently having internet problems, so Mai takes over as A-COM. Of course, the best thing to do would be to flood Locke's e-mail server with thousands of "get well soon" cards from the EH Greeting Card Center.Mai hurt her foot earlier today when she applied a swift kick to her Spectre Advanced Missile Boat, "Rivendell", upon returning from a particularly grueling XvT mission. The veritable river of explitives that followed lent new meaning to "swearing like a sailor."
Squadron News A quiet week activity-wise as we recover from the first round of competitions in our little Superiority campaign. The score, thus far, is 5 Wins, 0 Losses, and 1 Draw. Great job, but we have not yet begun to fight! Keep your sticks warm for the next round of competitions comming up soon.A few medals went out this week... Mike, Rover, and Kane get ISMs and Dirk gets a PC for activity this past month. Great job guys! :-DDirk has made up an FCHG spreadsheet and I intend on using it. Starting this next week, I'm going to send out battles to specific people to try to maximize our citations. Expect that tomorrow-ish.Rumor has it that Chris will be getting a new joystick Tuesday-ish compliments of Dirk. w00t! |

| And now, your moment of Zen... |
|
This past week, a guy at work quit smoking. In honor of that, I've compiled a top ten list of things to help him stay off cigarettes...
#10 - Bandaid brand nicotine patches... just remember that you'll have to take it off at some point.
#9 - Candy cigs. They still give you a buzz, but sugar tends to be easier on the lungs.
#8 - A Toblerone. Hey, if you're going to make Morris rich, you might as well just buy his chocolate.
#7 - A bigger Toblerone... I've seen 'em up to 50 kg. That should take care of the munchies
#6 - A TIE Fighter. With it's lack of an ash tray, it's the perfect place to stop smoking.
#5 - A sprinkler system connected to the smoke detectors at home... don't even think of lighting up. :-P
#4 - Girls (or boys as the case may be)... unless they smoke too.... then it gets harder to quit smoking.
#3 - Open bar night in the cantina... who has time for smoking when you have Chalquila? :-D
#2 - Stormtrooper helmet. Wear that into the bar and the temptation of second hand smoke will be a thing of the past (unfortunately, so will dating).
and finally...
#1 - GladeTM Nicotine plug-in... "Plug it in, plug it in!"
Well, that's all the news that's fit to print and most of the news that isn't.
