"Nonsense. You're just saying that because no one ever has."
-- Last known messages between the lost Vanguard Patrol 19, apparently about to do something incredibly dangerous, heroic and stupid.
Squadron News
Wouldn’t you know it, I missed the last two Reports, so technically, this is report No. 6. But it’s not, so we’ll put up with it.
Well, even with my being away it’s been a slow two weeks. Ginji’s been flooding my inbox again, but we’ll break him in soon enough, or go insane trying. I’m up for either choice really.
Those comps I’ve been meaning to work out for us haven’t yet materialized, more because of my lack of surety than anything else. I’m depending on you guys to show some interest here, and, though you all have RL issues and moral is lower than it ought to be, I’m going to have to ask for it.
There’s a good idea…Okay, new task. Starting Saturday everyone has one week to submit to me ideas for a Comp. It can be flying, Graphical, Fiction, anything you can think of. I’ll accept so long as it doesn’t involve kerosene or anything else flammable.
Best Entry wins a shiny new ISM.
Other news.
The Training Officer is looking for an assistant. Anyone interested is to email him at (to@emperorshammer.org).
For full details, look into Drax’s recent report, or, even better, the TC News Page.
New Comps on the way. More info as I remember where I put it.
Random Ranting
5-hour car trips can really ruin your back…
Activity Course:
In order to get any new SLs up to LT as fast as possible, a short activity course is being considered. It will include set tasks for the poor saps to complete within a week or so of joining the Squadron.
The Recruitment Officer will be in charge of this, but since we still as yet don’t have one, creative ideas are welcomed from one and all.
I mean it, one and all…
ACTIVITY!
That term is redundant.
I Flight Activity
CMDR/CPT Ulath:
I ended up shirking my Commander responsibilities and furiously working to regain my lost Pilot Files from the last Database Crash. It sorta worked, but I’ve still got a lot more flying to do.
FM/LT Ginji:
Where to start? Created the New Squadron Homepage from scratch. It’s not quite ready yet, but we’ll give it some time and see what becomes of it.
Also completed WPN IWATS with 95%, GFX IWATS with 80% and DW IWATS with 92%. He’s given me no choice, I’m afraid, but to name him Pilot of the Week.
Flight Comment:
You know your doing well when your Flight Members out-active you :P
II Flight Activity
FL/LC Thom Zack:
Our new Flight II Leader, recently earned himself an IS-BR for the Vanguard Recruitment Drive. Everyone give him a hug…or applause, whichever you feel more comfortable with. :P
FM/LT Thomas O’deevs:
Nada. You’ll be hearing from me soon.
Flight Comment:
New FL, slight activity. Just the way I like it :P On the bright side, Thoms Flight Record put us up to 31 Squadron Citations! Huzzah!
III Flight Activity
FL/CM Paco:
Nothing…But he’s away fro the week, so its excusable.
FM/CM Wharfin:
No contact whatsoever. You have a week to respond, Wharfin.
Flight Comment:
Back to Square One.
Squadron Comment: Ignore that previous comment about full Squad by July. It didn’t happen and I never said it. But I have a good feeling about next week. __________________________________________________________________
ORDERS!!!
Be Active!
I’m sure any leader you’ll find will tell you this, but the only way I can wrangle an Award for you out of the Admin guys is for you to give me something I can twist around. If you give me a lot, I can get you big rewards. If you get me nothing, you’re on your own, I’m sorry to say….
Visit the Website!
We don’t have one yet, but don’t let that stop you! Anyone reasonably skilled with a web-publishing program can knock a site together, so if you think you’re up to it, email me with your ideas and I’ll see what I can do.
Post on the Message Boards!
And when I say that, I mean as many boards as you can. If Echoers can be seen with a post on most message boards, we will soon gain a reputation for activeness and good-natured ness. And you know what that means? SLs! :P
Don’t hurt your Computer.
In other words. Have fun.
The TC isn’t worth being a part of if you take yourself too seriously, you came here to be part of a community and to be happy, not get stressed over those last-minute competition details.
So lie back, grab yourself one of those really long glasses of Ice Tea and relax. Remember, if you ever feel the `Corps is too much, you can always just take leave….:P
