Thought for the Week
"The most important goal of our actions is destruction of the enemy to the last limit of possibility"
- Field Marshal Prince Mikhail I. Kutuzov (1745-1813)
Squadron News
Just moments after I finished my last squadron report, I took a look at our roster-page and noticed that commander Ayudanter de la Clars had left us... No word of goodbye, no notice, no Email from the Flight Office, nothing (or I would have noticed sooner)... Perhaps the mail got lost, or was stolen by rebels? Ayudanter is no longer a mere flight member, but got promoted to the commander-position of Mantis Squadron. Congratulations Ayu! I hope you got my mail and the Iron Star...
LCM Ginji won the first round of the Caption Competition! Congratulations Ginji; your medal is on its way.
The winning caption, as well as the next picture, will be posted on the message board tomorrow. Could be an easy way to earn a medal, so check it out!
( http://mb.emperorshammer.net/viewtopic.php?t=392&sid=95fc1ed81528f3a950d12c96ab0c3a75 ).
Other than that, nothing much happened.
Oh, Wharfin and Marc; please don't forget to send Ginji the information he asked for some time ago (that is, if you have not done so already)...

Be a good example for the rest of the Wing (participating in competitions, flying SP & MP, passing IWATS courses, etc.)
As you see it's not an easy job but if you are a successful Wing Commander you will be rewarded accordingly. Submit your applications to VA Gidda with the subject "Wing XIV Application". If you want you may include one of your current superiors as reference.
