Wing III News Headlines ("This just in ...")
------------------------------------------------------------
- Hey Squadron to be re-opened soon!!! I know it seems like I say that in every report, but this time it really is true ... we have each squad 75% manned, and Lavos has chosen his FLs. All we need is the approval of FO Sarriss!
- NAVCOM/VA Freelancer, in a surprise move, has stepped down from his position as Navy Commander and retired from active duty. Having served with Free in the past, I think I can honestly say that this is a great loss for the Naval Corps. FO Sarriss will appoint a replacement soon, and she is NOT taking applications ... so don't send her any!
- CM Pete Mitchell returned from a short, scheduled leave and promptly filled Gimel to capacity -- 12 pilots! Great work, Pete!
- I returned from my short, unscheduled leave and finally found time to type up the Wing Report! (*A cheer goes up from the crowd*)
- New BattleCry Debate ... "What ONE characteristic is most important in making a good CMDR?" : http://www.sitepowerup.com/mb/view.asp?BoardID=114602&Page=1
- New Gimel Message Board, courtesy of LCM Lavos : http://www.sitepowerup.com/mb/view.asp?BoardID=119989
- New e-mail address for Beth's LT Loor : loor@ehnet.org
- Wing III webpage finished and released by CMDR/CPT Jahan Kalar! I'm having trouble viewing it myself, but I've heard rave reviews from others : http://wing3.ods.org
Or, it might be this one : http://wing3.dhs.org
- Aleth weekly competitions continue with a moderate participation turnout.
- New Gimel webpage goes live : http://www.gimelsquadron.cjb.net/
- New Aleth Flight One motto : "The few, the proud, the totally insane"
New Aleth Flight One Nickname : "Black Wraiths"
- MAJ Timbal, Wing Commander of Wing VI, has decided to step down from his post due to increasing RL activity. The search is on for a new Wing VI WC, and COM/FA Kramer is hot on the trail, I'm sure ;-)
- LC Harkonnen, Wing Commander of Wing II, has officially retired from the TIE Corps due to RL difficulties. Harkonnen was on leave for several weeks, and recently announced that, unfortunatly, he could not return as planned. Acting Wing II WC, CM Inkwolf, has been promoted to MAJ and officially named as Harkonnen's successor. Congrats Inky, you'll do a great job!!!
- With both Harkonnen and Freelancer no longer an active part of the Imperial fleet, the normal chaos has dropped down to merely 'dangerous' levels. It is now, offically, too darn quiet around these parts.
- New e-mail address for CPT Werdna Elbee : werdna_elbee@ehnet.org
- Speaking of Werdna ... he has recently been awarded the Silver Star of the Empire, a most prestigious medal!!! Congrats on your excellent work, Wernda!
- Aleth's CM Maaric has been advanced to Command Attache for the Recon Officer!!! Unfortunatly, that also means he had to leave Wing III ...
- Gimel Squadron uniform patch competition is still running! Deadline is July 26th ... TWO DAYS!!!
- Wing III Uniform Archive updated by LCM Cray Mikalen : http://wing3uniforms.ehnet.org
- CMDR/CM Pete Mitchell announces the opening of the Gimel Squadron Bar on IRC : #Gimel

Wing III Quote of the Week
---------------------------------------
"I'm the new SL in Wing III!" -- If only all new recruits had LT Quake's enthusiasm ;-)
Other notable quotes this week :
"Congrats Seth! Your new rank is now safely attached to your uniform. :) And use the spoon wisely, for it holds unmentionable powers (like bonking Var on the nose from a distance)." -- LCM Cray Mikalen congratulates his squad-mate Seth Rommel on his new rank ... and also gives him some advice
"Remember, friend's don't let friends "fly high". (sorry, just had to throw that jab at the WC in there :)" -- Soon-to-be Sub-Lieutenant Jahan Kalar makes fun of my favorite saying ;-)
"Hey, congrats Dan! I just added a "visit" to your squadron's bar to my to-do-list.... ;)" -- MAJ Sequoh Marden congratulates the newly-promoted Daniel Kamprath, and finds yet another excuse to go bar hopping ...
"Now, let's get to that cantina (just remember, no one can out drink a Corellian ;) But I am sure you will all try now that I am paying." -- More words of wisdom from Jahan
"As everyone is already quite drunk, because of all there promotions lately, I've decided to give you an extra award! Here it is: "The golden spoon"! (I secretly took it away from Cray's spoon collection ;) It is the sign that you have to pay the lunch for everyone in Beth for the next 5 days (which will be soup - mostly), hold up your new spoon with pride!" -- Sequoh decides that a rank promo just isn't enough of an award ;-)
"Ah man, now I have to edit my ID line (woohoo)" -- LCM Seth Rommel gets promoted
"I've extended our plan to assault the Gimel cantina to also include the Aleth and Daleth ones; first we'll go to the Aleth cantina, move on to Gimel's after a few hours and finally end up in the Daleth bar. (I know they got the better drinks, because I've noticed that one of my FMs was smuggling alcoholic beverages for them lately)" -- Sequoh really has this down to an Art ...
"Have fun!!! But not like that Commander Maaric, you sicko ..." -- Jahan incites Maaric's wraith ...
"You're calling ME a sicko? Apparently you haven't told the Wing about your Ewok fetish, have you Kalar?" -- Maaric responds with WAY more than we ever needed to know!!!
Okay, that does it for now! Until next time ... Fly high and watch your six!!!
