Valkyrie Weekly Squadron Report

Weekly Squadron Report

CM Malidir reporting in as ordered for Valkyrie Squadron on May 1st, 2004

"Propagation, you know, what they did to stop people from drinking in the '30s?" - this will be the thought of the week (people are so dumb).

From the Commander's Office

I'd say to check out the Squadron Website, but I still haven't had the opportunity to update it...sorry. Much props to LCM Jansen for maintaining the site prior to my coming...I will honestly update this site soon...I just haven't had the time of late, due to RL and to trying to stay as active as I can flying missions and what not.

Check out the Squadron Message Board for updated news, and random items that are at least somewhat relevant to the Squadron, the Wing and the Ship.

Welcome to LT Matt Hone, back in action after a stint in the reserves...the return of this pilot promises to serve as a breath of fresh air for the whole unit!

Fleet News

* From ISP/HA Priyum Patel: As part of a project for the Operations Office, I am currently collecting information related to the awarding of the Grand Order of the Emperor, Order of the Renegade, Imperial Cross and the Medal of Honour merit medals. I'm looking for things like recommendations themselves, dates, etc - particularly those dating from before the 2000. If you have any saved recommendations, or any other information please email me at spellfire@btinternet.com.

* Maj Praetorian has been selected as the new Wing XV Commander - congrats.

* New IWATS courses are still out there for Dreamweaver, Weaponry, Cascading Style Sheets and mIRC Scripting (give it up for Choosh!) - check these out…good stuff. Personally, Choosh gave me some invaluable tips/motivation to pass the mIRC Scripting Course (which I subsequently made use of)…what a difference hanging out on mIRC can make…

* Gilad has still not submitted himself to 1 on 1 battle with me - fear, I guess.

* I think that's about it for the week in the Fleet.

Promotions/Medals/Awards/Activity Report

CMDR/CM Malidir
Flew a few XvT TC Battles...submitted a couple of IWATS courses. Hung out on mIRC. Still working on HTML, so this report is a bit of a preliminary test...any feedback is welcome. Check out the new comps, including one that is extended to the whole Wing for Gilad's new custom uniform...medals at stake, all for the sake of activity.

FM/LCM Jansen
Spoken to him on IRC. Not on whole lot going on on the TC front.

FL/LCM Valin Drago
Not too much this week, but go here...some really quality fiction awaits: The 181st Imperial Fighter Group

FM/LT Matt Hone
Pilots, please join me in welcoming LT Matt back to active duty! He's already completed the IWATS Weapons course and is reported to be busy with some flying. Yay! Get us some more citations Matt!!! :P

FL/CPT Kael Malahk
- Submitted a cool Valkyrie Banner! Kael, if could can splash some colour onto this, I will most definitely see about replacing our existing banner in favour of your work…good stuff!

FM/LCM Mitim Tsaexin
Spoke on IRC...all other activity has been kept strictly confidential!!

FM/LT Agrepa Hogo
-No contact with me. Drop me a mail, if nothing else just to say hello :P

FM/SL Immortal
-No contact. Fix this, please? If this continues you may not be fortunate enough to remain in this squadron...don't make me the bad guy.

Commander's Forum

Guys, let's get out and fly some missions and attempt to get some more citations...the amount that our squad currently has is well below the rest of the Wing. Although we now have 3 citations - we clearly need some more targeted flying. Let's see if we can prove them wrong and put them all in their place!!! I know that we can!

Professor Malidir's Schoolhouse Comp still in play - see below:
Start Date (mm/dd/yy) 4/18/2004
End Date (mm/dd/yy) 5/15/2004
Parties Involved Valkyrie Squadron
Missions/Battles Used none
Medals to be Awarded Iron Star Bronze Ribbon
Miscellaneous Information While some members of the squadron certainly appear to be pretty well educated as far as IWATS courses are concerned, in the past month or two a number of new courses have been released. They are a great way to learn new things, beef up your signature line and earn medals, which the pilot who passes the most courses each week for the next four weeks will do - a shiny Iron Star with Bronze Ribbon!

With the Weaponry course passed this week, LT Matt Hone is the weekly winner! Yoda, can you please do the honours, or do I initiate this?

Next week may be tough, as I am coming out gunning for this...watch out for your CMDR...

Results of the Valkyrie FCHG King of the Hill Competition:

Malidir: 54 Points
Valin Drago: 8 Points

I took this one, but with only one other participant (thanks Valin :P), it's clear that some more flying could be done. Remember: activity/flying = medals/promotions. It's as easy as that, guys.

New comps to come soon...stay tuned...and participate!!!

Squadron Citations Corner

Squadron Citations (3): woohoo!!! Tripled since last week!

XvT-TC Battle 4 - Encounter with the Black Sun
XvT-TC Battle 6 - Wolf Pack Aggression
XvT-TC Battle 14 - Orion Base Crisis

Valkyrie Squadron currently has 3 citations. This, though an improvement to our former total of 1, can be remedied with some diligent, targeted flying. I'm in the process of flying some additional battles myself to at least get us to 5 or more citations…we can and should be doing better than this, I think you'll all agree…

In service of the Emperor's Hammer!
