Cobra Squad Weekly Report

Greetings,

Hello all you happy pilots! I hope your week has been as interesting as mine.

Cobra News

A new Flight II FL has been chosen. Congratulations to LT Calista FairBright!

IMPORTANT - XWA pilot files via the EHBL are flown with the origional .PLT file that is included with the XWA files. When you complete the files, please zip the file as well as name the battle that was flown. If you fly and send more than one XWA battle, please list which .PLT goes with what battle. This will save alot time from me trying to figure out which file goes with what Battle.

Time to pull out your crayons! I have started a new competition for a new banner for Cobra, that will end on 12-19-03. This competition is open to all who wish to participate, including other pilots from the Wing. I would like the banners to be no bigger than 600x400 pixels in size, and all banners are to be sent to me at ge_phantom2002@yahoo.com. Medals will be awarded.

EH Census: Update
23:14 - AD Darknyte [darknyte@alltel.net]

So far I'd like to state that the Logistics Staff has been very pleased with the response we've gotten thusfar from the EH Census project.

With that in mind I'd like to remind everyone that new questions are still being added periodically and that we'd greatly appreciate it if participants could make an effort to try to login at least once per week until the Census has been completed.

This will allow all members to answer questions that have been added since they initially took the Census. Already I know we've added around 10-15 questions in various areas, and more are still coming as support for the Census grows and more officers request questions added.

If anyone knows a question that should be added, please email the Logistics Officer with your questions so we can evaluate and add them as needed.

Again, thank you all for making this project a success!

Activity has started to pick up again. Keep up the good work, everyone!

Another thing that needs to be done is recruiting. I will be making some roster changes, not the kind of changes I like to do, so recruiting is a must. If each of us put an effort into this, we could make this squad much stronger than what it has been.

That's it for this week.
