WC/COL Proton reporting on 8-25-01 for Wing V aboard the SSSD Sovereign:
WELCOME TO WING V, THE HAMMER'S HELLFIGHTERS!
***
We have an outbreak of colonels in the wing! COL Es'mith has returned from the Reserves to command Aylin for a third time; COL Bilbo has come out of the Reserves to assume command of Mem; and COLs Maaric, Sickman and myself were already on duty. Looking down the roster and gauging the activity of other veterans, I see plenty of other officers who will achieve COL rank in due course.
***
- CMDRs, make sure this report reaches all wing members.

MISCELLANEOUS
- FA Priyum reports: I've redesigned a the look of the Flight Office, and it can now be found here: http://www.btinternet.com/~spellfire/flightoffice.html
The Flight Office contains a useful FAQ to answer any basic questions you may have and most importantly, its home to the Fleet Standing Orders. This si a good oppurtunity to remind you all that the FSOs apply to ALL members of the TIE Corps, without exception. Please be familiar with all aspects of the FSOs, particularly the areas that govern Recruitment and Transfer protocols.
If you follow these rules, things will be easier for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns in relation to the FSOs, then please don't hesitate to email myself (spellfire@btinternet.com) or my CA, Admiral Havoc (Pellaeon2000@cs.com) and we'll be glad to help.
ORATORS OF AIRLOCK 21
- Orator of the week: COL Sickman!
"A sad week for Wing V, with the loss of LT Angel. Even those who didnt know her well were shocked by the news and on behalf of Sadhe i send my best wishes to here family, you will be in our thoughts.
I think a good way to honour her is for us all to pick ourselves up and fly like we`ve never flown before, and make her wing the best once again. So Sadhe pilots, get to your ships!
And LT Angel........I Salute you!
Other oratory this week:
"SickMan`s Wise Word`s of The Week............"When your angry and fed-up with the world, go fly!!" -COL Sickman
"SickMan`s Wise Word`s of The Week............"EEC, oh the evil of it!" -COL Sickman
"Why do most of the command staff seem to have more medals but less IWATS, and sometimes missions completted?
If we have somany new super fighters like the Phantom and the Guardian why do we use stuff the predates the TIE Fighter?
Why does teh Avenger and all the DB ships get the new fighters?
Why on GA Ronins office is there a picture of him being of teh same race as Trawn if Trawn was the only non human to become a GA?
Why does a military groop have a corporate division and a groop of bounty hunters working for them?
How many jedis would a jedi hunter hunt if a jedi hunter could hunt jedi?
If the T/F is out dated than why is it on all our banners?
If Mon Cal ships are all unique why do they all look the same?
If the rebs were on teh outer rim and closed in on the Empire how did we get out here?
If Aurabesh is the official Impirial language whey does evry one speek english?
If the Reble can't beat the Sov why do they keep trying?
Why do we never see the Sov in any battles when thats the ship we are on?
Why do CMDRs send you on IW missions where the survivale rate is next to nothing when you should be going on a simple escort in a much safer ship acording to your squadron home page?
Why do the Comand staff all get MoHs when the people risking there lives in missions that put a single T/I against a A/FRG trying to protect them get the bums rush?
If we are Dark Jedi why do we still miss?
If the Strike Fleet has so many FRGs and VSDs why do we only ever see ISDs in missions?
If Proton can take a prank from some one as far down the ranks as me, why can't Striker?
If they had 4-5 SSDs at the time of the Battle of Endor why did they only use one?
Why did they not use Lancer frigates(or any frigates) to protect the second DS against fighters if they knew that was it's weekness?
If the Emperor was so smart and could see the future why was he such a bad tactition?
If for evry TIE shot down a thousand more rise up why are there less than a thousand members in the TC?
If we are at war with the Rebs why do all our battles put us against new races, Imp Warlords or pirates?
Why do so many SC and FLs complain that they get to many e-mails if they don't check there e-mail for 2 days when in a comand position you are suposed to check them each day?
Why do the Comand Staff ask for sugestions on how to make the EH better but when FMs and FL make suggestions they don't even respond thanking them then dismis the idea?
Why does Proton seem to be the only one who understand my humour?
If earth is in the future and in a galaxy far far away why are there humans there that are less advanced then we are?
If evry one thinks IWATS courses are so easy why are me and Striker the only ones who have done them all?
Why when I was etremly active(4 IWATS and 4 battles in one week) did I get nothing but when I go on leave I get promoted in 2 subgroups?
Why do they call it the bums rush if bums are to week to rush?
If you guys don't like reading so many e-mails on the mail list why did you sign up for it?
If you all say the N64 sucks then why do teh mojority of you have one?
If the SSD Avenger sqaudrons are only open to DB members why do they try to recruit people on PLT Deadalus that aren't in the DB?
If a TIE uses a wheel(yoke) time controle system why do we all use joy sticks?
If the GA is os important that he has to go places in a Shuttle with elite squadrons escorting him why does he bother with a fighter?
If each flight in a squadron has it's own fighter type why do the rebles always use the same fighter for the whole squadron?
If you guys think my e-mails are stupid and anoying then why do you still read them?" -LCM Murkrow Defender
"::FA Kramer reads over the latest data brought to him by his beloved Spy Rats with glee::
Ah, yes. Power corrupts . . . I'll have to pay a visit to Major Striker's quarters . . . and I won't forget my lucky slapping glove!!!! MUA HA HA HA HA!!!!" -COM/FA "Catch up with THAT, Major" Kramer
"Now I'm beginning to feel slightly like a low ranking CMDR with all these COL's running around.
**Striker makes note to be more active in the future to get promoted to LC and join the COL ranks. ;P**" -MAK Wil Striker
