MAJ Daisuke Airyu, reporting for the week of 9/4 to 9/10, 2004
THIS WEEK'S GRUDGE MATCH
JOB INTERVIEWS
VS
INTERROGATION DROIDS
Airyu: So, Mr. Pinguinni, what do you feel you can bring to this team?
Penguin: Waaark!
Serovich: Right. I understand you don't have much experience in this area, but you're going to have to give us something better if you want a job here.
Airyu: Yutzka is right. What we want to know is, why should we hire you, instead of say... one of your cousins?
Penguin: WAAAARK! WARK WARK!
Serovich: This isn't getting us anywhere. Daisuke, why the hell are we interviewing penguins?
Airyu: Because we don't have any other viable candidates. Wasn't someone supposed to do some recruiting?
Meanwhile, at a recruiting booth on the Daedalus...
Cadet 1: Hey, Echo Squadron, that kinda sounds cool!
Cadet 2: Yeah... let's ask the dude at the booth. Um... Commander?
O'Deevs: zzzzzz *snores, leans back in his chair, and falls over*
Serovich: Well.. he's not talking. Let's try the droid.
Airyu: Droid?
Penguin: Wark?
Airyu: There's no interrogation droids here. What are you talking about???
Serovich: I could've sworn I ordered some from... uh oh...
Drax: *lying in his bed asleep* Zzzzzz
Interrogation droid: Whirrrrrrrr *beep*
Drax: *wakes up* what the? *sits bolt upright*
Interrogation droid: *injects a needle into the nearest arm*
Random Female Lieutenant In Drax's Bed: You know, Drax... I've had better
Drax: .... what day is it, Lieutenant?
Lieutenant: Friday.
Drax: ... get me my pants, and get me my Airyu-beating stick. This is the last straw.
MORAL: When ordering anything, be sure to have it sent to the right address.

Cool Stuff of the Week!!!
------------------------------------
Hatris!!! courtesy of Nate-Nathan.net! My roommate has 16 University of Maryland hats, all hanging up on his wall. So I decided to put them all on at once. Hilarity ensues.

FLEET NEWS
-----------------
TUREL NURRRRR IS A WC - Nurel Turrd, while he may sound like something that belongs inside a WC, is now the new WC of wing 8.
CoLS ABOUND - I only wish they gave out Colonel bars this easily :( But I got one, and so did Justin. W00t. Let's also applaud the Intel Division, who censored half of their recipients.
XO COMPETITION A SPLODE - In the largest collective awarding of partially deserved Iron Stars with Platinum addons (hair extensions?), Asty has given out... a lot of stuff. I got second place by making fun of the rDB, so I got an IS-GW.
----------------------
VANGUARD NEWS
----------------------
PYTHON REOPENS - I'm kind of happy for them. However, this leaves us a little bit understaffed. We're at 6 now, and looking at a drop to 5 soon. I'm looking for someone to take over the squadron website, email me if you're interested. It's a great way to get lots of shiny medals!

(more commonly referred to as "orders"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
BGCOM's LEGATE - This is... something. Basically, do lots of stuff :) It's a reward for the most active pilots in the battlegroup, and a hell of an honor.
THE AGGRESSOR - Khadgar wants to do some thing... it's a publication of ASF-type stuff :) so make graphics and fiction that can eventually go in it. I guess all our SW:CCG cards are going in...
VANGUARD IRONMAN - Just a standard monthly FCHG race. Whoever gains the most gets an IS-SW, runner-up gets an IS-BW
VANGUARD BARON - A Combat Rating race. Whoever gains the most CR points gets an IS-SW, runner-up gets an IS-BW
VANGUARD RECRUITMENT DRIVE - Whoever brings in the most pilots gets an IS-SR, runner-up gets IS-BR
VANGUARD WARZ - Fly XWA-FREE 64, "Echo Squadron". Highest score gets to represent us in the second round. DUE ASAP.
VANGUARD CCG EXPANSION PACK- Everyone saw what a wonderful job I do creating SW:CCG cards, but I'm all burned out! Now it's your turn. This is a wing-wide competition of my creation... Make as many entries as you like, and send them to me (CC Justin too). The best gets an IS-SR, and the runner-up gets an IS-BR. Fun fun! EXTENDED, cause nobody except Ginji entered.
LAME-ZOR VANGUARD GRAPHICS - Make your best graphic possible about the Vanguard or Wing XV, but here's the catch. You MUST do it in MS Paint. Freehand. If you're on a mac, use your weak bitmap editor. All files must be submitted to me and LC Justin by 9/30.
ECHO NEW BANNER COMPETITION - Our banner on the TC database is a little bit old and ghettoed. I'm not a big fan of it, because it looks like it was just ripped from the opening cutscene of TIE Fighter. Plus, it's not really a banner. So you guys are to make a new one for me. Make it pretty, make it cool, make it something you'd write your mom about. The best one, if it's better than the old one, wins. It goes up on the EHTC.org database, and the creator gets an IS-BR.
STANDING ORDERS THAT AREN'T EXACTLY STANDING... MORE OF "CROUCHING" ORDERS
- All pilots reach the rank of Lieutenant *done*
- All pilots pass IWATS AIM, IIC/1 and M/1
