SQUADRON NEWS:

Welcome to the 53^rd Cobra Squadron Report. ACTIVITY WAAAAAHOOOOOOOO! from only me that is. I literally flown my butt off this week topping off to a 64 mission count. That's 13 more than I flew last week! Remember that Cobra is the COM's Escort squadron so we need to do everything we can do to keep it. Yes that's right we are number #1 in the wing as far as activity and I want to stay that way. So get off your butts and get busy with anything, I don't care if it's stick figure graphics creations. Just do them and send them to me.

As it turns out the squad vs squad comp I was working on seems to have died a bit. I will send another letter to Krayt CMDR MAJ Aidan Pryde detailing all the stuff needed to get this cop approved for our squads and then soon I hope the comp will take off. So lets get ready to kick some butt! Now for another good thing is I'm going to create a comp for some non-flying activity, it will involve creating a graphic for me. I will need a Pilot of the Week (PotW) banner. So get your drawing boards ready cuz I want to see one. I'm telling you this to give you a heads up on this comp. that way whether it's approved or not you'll still know what to expect and what is going on for non-flying activity.

Just so you know I'm hoping to see alot more activity in between time from Thanksgiving and Christmas. As always I will be contributing 100% and possibly more as the time gets closer to X-Mas. I'm also sure that most of you will be going away for X-mas, so hopefully you can all do something before you go on leave. So you know what that means, get busy and fly or do something for me to report on! One thing to remember when you go on leave at any time, please be sure to set your status on your online profile to "on leave" so I won't badger you for not reporting in on time.

CMDR's Work: I have been slowly working on my new goal to attain the next FCHG rank of Archon, obviously I'm some missions (battles) away but its getting closer with each passing day as I try to fly atleast 2 battles a day. Now while saying that we now have some good totals for you all today. Although this may take some time, but the objective here is to get as much as I can get done by the end of December, currently I'm at 1161 and will be 1178 as soon as the WC or someone BSF's my files. That's only 49 away from being in the number 5 spot in the wing so wish me luck.

Again I know school has some of you in peril, but hey I know it's coming to a close soon since the holidays are coming, so let's get busy okay? I really want to do some BSF's for you guys seriously. Make me happy and give me something else to report on save for my own and CM Hunterwolf's stuff :P

Remember that I will also accept any work for those of you who are doing FW on your spare time. So please don't forget to send me any activity you have for this platform. I will add it to the report and get you any rewards in which you are entitled to. If anyone needs me please use email. This is the fastest way to make contact with me right now, so I have minimum distractions. Thanks.

(SP) FCHG Stuff: MAJ Apophis Kuma is the current leader in December so far doing SP flying, with a score of 105 points so far and was followed close behind by CM Hunterwolf with 45, but not any more :). I will be flying lots more later today or this coming week for more points as I want that #5 spot!

PS: Don't forget my email address is apophis@blacksunalliance.org so be sure to update your address books. Remember you slithering snakes, DO SOME ACTIVITY! nuff said!

That's it for this week, cya next time!

There were no medals posted this week, with none pending save the MSE ones, which I'm not sure if they were awarded or not, hopefully they will come soon. Just remember I will gladly get you a medal or promotion if you put forth the effort. I promise you I will if its within my power to get you these things.
