Hello Pe Pilots, COL Sickman, and RA Proton,

Well, as most of you know, I was the former Combat Operations Officer, and have stepped down to command this squadron. I'd like to start out by introducing myself, giving you all a little insight to my experience within the Hammer.

I've been all over, so I'll just start out at the beginning. I started out back in October of 98 (yes, almost three years ago) in Tornado Squadron, of Wing X. In late December of that year, I got my first command. I was in charge of Cyclone Squadron, also in Wing X, where I had it up to a full 12 members, which was a major feat in those days, when TC membership was barely over 500. From there, in May of 99, I was promoted to Major, and received command of Wing IV, just down the hall from here I guess. I was GN Ricardo's predecessor. Well, to be quite honest, I made some stupid egotistical mistakes in my first few months as a Major, and it cost me the position. FA Kramer removed me, said I needed more experience, and lined me up with a command in Wing VI, on the other side of the hall. There, I was the first CMDR of Zeta squadron, when they reactivated it. Well, I wasn't impressed by then GN Brian's WC ability, as well as the general activity of the Wing. I had the largest and most active squadron within 4 weeks of activating it, and that wasn't saying much. So, I left command for some time. I sat in Praetorian, flying here and there, not really doing much, more in escrow than anything else. Well, later that year, my friend Corran Force (he was COM of the Challenge at the time) asked me to return to X, to take over Thunder Squadron, I agreed and went there. Wing X is a difficult wing to prosper in, and while I led an active squadron, it never did match up with Typhoon and Tornado. It was a good squad though, I bred some very good pilots in there. Again time got the better of me, as it does for so many other EHers, so I stepped down from CMDR for a few weeks and went to the reserves. Shortly thereafter, I was approached by then-LCM Ferin, who had struck a deal with the leaders of the ISD Vanguard, that he would take over CMDR of the inactive Python Squadron. Well, he needed two FLs before they would let him activate it, so I soon became the Flight 3 leader of Python. Well, not more than a month and a half later, Ferin found out he was moving, and had to resign. I had helped him from the start with setting up the squad, so it was only logical that I would take over. I did, and I was CMDR of Python for the next 3 months, earning Wing Commander's Own my last two months as a CMDR. From there, I took my leap into the Command Staff. I convinced FA Howlader of how much I could do as a CA, and he agreed, and promoted me to Vice Admiral and his Command Attaché. I served there from August 2000 to April 2001, making many improvements to the way the office was run, and when Zsinj left the COO position, Howlader gave me a sparkling recommendation to the spot. I took over, and that's where I've been since. Many of you may know alot of what I have done, many of you may not, but that's really irrelevant. I've just gotten to the point that I'm babbling now. :P

Anyways, off that. As you can see, I've been around quite a bit. Now, I'm here. I'd like to get to know all of you, and become good friends, because to me, that is what the EH is all about. Friendship, where people can expand the web of people they can go to and to talk with, and have fun with. Having fun is the number one purpose of this place, and I fully approve of having all the fun you want (as long as its not at my expense ;-) ).

Now then, I'd like to get to know each and every one of you very well. What I'd like of you is an email telling me first off that you're alive, maybe a little bit about you, what your skills are, what kind of free time you have to dedicate to the EH, and what your expectations are for my command. I shall be starting on a new Pe website shortly, but it will probably take me a few weeks to finish it, as I have not even started on designing it, but it will be coming soon.

I look forward to a productive and great future in Pe and Wing V, and I hope you all do too. :)
