New Activities
Vortex Squadron is currently in a Squadron Competition. I need you guys to fly as much as possible. Whether it be Single Player or Multiplayer I need you flying. Activity is key.

Monday Afternoon from 3:00 Eastern Time to 5:00 Eastern time is now going to be Vortex Multiplayer Practice! I am holding these practices to improve our skills and to improve our chances at winning the ASF Multiplayer Competition and the XVT Ladder. Everyone is recommended to attend.

Commanders Thoughts
October was a fantastic month of activity earning us the honor of being chosen the Wing Commander's Own(This allows you to place "Grey Wolf Wing Commander's Own October 2001" at the end of your profile). So far November has not seen anywhere near the same activity. It is essential that you fly much more the rest of this month. We have a goal of 50 citations to reach by the end of the Year. This can only be done if each of you are flying your assigned missions. I assign them for a purpose!

Continue the Great work. If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas contact me at once. There is no reason that we should not win Wing Commander's own this month too. If we win two times in a row I will reccommend everyone in the Squadron for a Palpatine Crecent!

PILOT OF THE WEEK: LT Mantis!!! Great Job LT, you are the only one in the Squadron who competed in the EH vs UPA war on the Zone and you created a Great Website!
