TARTARUS SQUADRON
WEEKLY SQUADRON REPORT
25.07.2003
CMDR/MAJ DarkC

Salute
This time I’ll send you the report on friday:P I apologize if I got you confused about the day you get the WSR, but I have a few problems with my net connection at home. Not sure what happened, the connection simply refuses to work properly. But I hope I’ll be able to fix this as soon as posible.
Anyway, I think I’ll make this report short, cause the events this week were pretty confusing and I’d rather not comment…

COMMANDER’S OFFICE
Still, I can’t get over this like nothing happened, so …
You all know Hev retired this week:(
Beside loosing a special friend, we also lost a WC. I know this created some confusion among the entire wing.
No matter what the reasons for his retirement were, we all loved him and are very sorry he left…but…this is life. And life must go on.
By next week we’ll probably have a new WC and hopefully things will start moving again.
The most important thing is for us to stick together and I mean the squadron this time. We have other capable officers to worry and deal with the wing problems.Let give them a chance to do it.
Now speaking about the squadron, this last week was again a very quiet one. I only heard from some of you and I do think we can do more than this.


NEWS
1.MAJ Hev Randrowan retired, so the WC position is opened. Applications should be sent to Khad and Darksaber till the 27th. One single comment on this : don’t be afraid to apply! It would be great to keep this inside Grey Wolf.


Squadron status

We’re now at 8 pilots…for now .
I didn’t hear from Jamie,Les and Miack this week. You probly have good reasons, but please let me know as well.
All the others were in contact with me one way or the other.
Please guys, and this goes for all of you, if you have problems at least let us know, even if sometimes we can't help you.



Priorities
1. I would like you to try and show up more often on irc. I'm there almost daily, so are pilots from other squadrons. It would be a great chance for you to know them better and find answers to all your questions. It's also a great chance to have a lot of fun:P
2. Another thing I’d like to talk to you about is the message board. No one has posted anything here lately and it’s a pity. You know that this is the best way to keep in touch with eachother and with the other squadrons as well and this usually has been funny. Please do try and visit that page more often!
I finally posted something here some days ago and I had the unpleasant surprise to see that nobody even visited, not to speak about posting anything:(
3. Web page- The same goes for our web page. Les worked a lot to create it and he did a great job, yet I’m not sure how many of you even visited it. So please do so and come up with more ideas. This page has to represent us:P

POETRY CORNER
IMPOSIBLE TO REACH
By MAJ DarkC
“this poem is dedicated to someone dear to all of us”

It’s friday evening and I’m sitting here, the week is almost gone
I tried to call you, but as expected at this time the line is busy
I think you try to hide from me and I suppose you are alone,
I’m trying not to think of you, but that for sure isn’t that easy.
I only wanna talk to you, make sure you are ok and hear your voice,
Make sure you’re not upset with me and you still love me,
I try to call ,but I keep hearing all the time that stupid busy noise.
I only try to reach you. In God’s name how difficult can this be?
I know you’ll think I’m crazy trying to write poems about this…
I wouldn’t blame you if you did, in many ways this might be true
Sometimes I might overeact ,but never when I say it’s you I miss.
I will admit I am insane and I’ll be always crazy loving you.
You know you can do nothing about this, it’s just the way it’s ment to be,
I only want to know that everything’s alright,
Make sure I didn’t say something to make you be upset with me,
So this is it! No matter what the time will be , I’m gonna hear your voice tonight!
…………………………………………………………………………….
Well, I was wrong, I’m writing this two hours later,
I tried to reach you about 10 times since I started writing this,
Sorry to say, but I’ll give up, I think it’s better,
But surelly not before I give you one last goodnight kiss.
And don’t forget : I’ll try again tomorrow
No matter if the line is free or not
Or if I have enough money or I’ll have to borrow,
I’ll make you understand I love you and I miss you quite a lot!





LAST THOUGHTS
I know many things happened this week that disspointed you or hurt you one way or the other. I know,because they still hurt me.
I also know there are a few medals and promotions that were delayed due to these last changings.
I promise you all that as soon things will be on the right track again everyone will get what he deserves.
We have to go on and we need to do this together.
I know I can count on you. You never let me down and I hope you won’t start now:P
I love you all.


Respectfully submitted,
CMDR/MAJ DarkC/Tartarus.
