MANTIS SQUADRON WSR #1
COLONEL DRAX REMLINGER
FOR WEEK ENDING 12-19-03

FROM THE CMDR'S DESK:
Mantis Squadron on deck!! Well its been our first week back together and oh what a week it has been. I want to thank all of you who have agreed to rejoin us from the reserves and the like. We started with 5 and now we are up to 9. Pretty fair work for a weeks time I think.

As I said in one of my first emails, we will be taking it easy for the rest of December due to holidays and it will also give us time to fill up our roster( 3 away now, yay!!). We have our best slicers working up a website(Jer and Erryc, thanks!!) and our Baron of the skies is working up some compeition ideas in the mp area(Azrael, u da man!) Now I have heard from all of you in one form or another and lets keep the contact and ideas flowing. Until next time regulators, roll on!

SQUADRON NEWS:
First off I would like to welcome officially in our first WSR the new but seasoned veterans who have joined us:
Major Erryc Lasitter- best beer man in the business
Lieutenant Colonel Drake Jensen- best beer drinker next to me in the business
Major Jer Stryker- Slicer and flyboy extrodinaire
Lieutenant Colonel Thom Zack- one of the most deadly hand to hand combatants I hope you never meet in battle.

Our new message board has been attained gentlemen. I encouage you all to post to it frequently. We will get some runons and different kind of things going on there to pass the time until we get 100 percent functional. It can be found here: Mantis Squadron Message Board.

Now I will go over this just one time. We are all equal here. We have a job to do and I expect it to get done no matter what it is. I will never ask you to do anything that I am not willing to do myself. Therefore all squadron activities will be brought before each of you before we take action. 75 percent approval is required for anything we do. Mantis will win as one or fail as one. Remember that!


WING NEWS:
Not much to say about the old girl right now. Python Squadron is open to applications. If you are interested in applying email Darksaber, Sickman, and Nightmare and let me know about it if you want to be courteous.

The wing message board is up and running so go check it out here: Wing XV Messageboard.

BATTLEGROUP NEWS:
VA Sarin, COM of the ISD Grey Wolf is now the new COO. Sarin was quite the awesome COM and we expect him to do wonders with the Combat Operations Office.
