Mantis Squadron
The Best Never Rest!


Introduction

Greetings! Welcome to another addition of the Mantis Squadron Weekly Status Report! There is MUCH to report this week, so instead of drawing out this email, I will offer links to the main news sources, and just detail things pertinent to the Squadron.

Squadron News

1. WELCOME to Colonel Ramos Kanzco! You are a welcome member to III Flight!
2. LCM Ourumov has reported in! Welcome back to active duty my friend!
3. Yilana has been promoted to LCM! Congrats!
4. I was promoted to MAJ for those of you who didn't notice =) Thanks Drax!
5. I will be running another competition starting March 15th. This will be a SP competition for the battle XWA-TC #29. Winner will receive an IS-BR. Comp will end March 30th.
6. We have some empty spots, and I have been working on recruiting from the Reserves. This is our BEST source for pilots, as alot of people got out of the TC active duty because of inactive squadrons. If we attempt to recruit them, we're already proving how active we can be! So, take a look on the Phoenix, and send out some emails. Let's see if we can bring some veterans back into the fold =)
7. Pilot of the Week is CPT Serge Broskopf. GREAT work this week man!
8. Dufar Jabar has left us. This is not a bad thing! He has gone on to the Praetorian Squadron, the ELITE squadron of the TC! He is now representing Mantis Squadron proudly while serving the TC, the DB, and the Grand Admiral! Good work buddy!
9. Lt Bulda, I hate to say it but you're gone. This is your absolute last chance to stay active. Otherwise, please pack your bags. Mantis squadron will miss you, but we need active pilots who respond to emails. Please contact us by Sunday, or I'm afraid I cannot help you.
10. Keep up the good work! Mantis ACE comp ends Sunday night! Pilot with the most LoCs/DFCs since the beginning of February gets a medal!
