TARTARUS SQUADRON
WEEKLY SQUADRON REPORT
31.10.2003
CMDR/MAJ DarkC

Salute
Friday again and time for a new report:P
At least this time there are some good things to talk about. Hehe..it was about time:)

COMMANDER’S OFFICE
Well, it was a week that I might call quite productive:P
I sent some e-mails, a few to you and one to our loyal and reliable Tartarus veterans hoping I can make them return to active duty and help me reinforce this squadron to make sure we’re ready to do a good job in SC VI.
Well, I’m happy that both e-mails reached their targets:P
This is how I found out the reason why it’s been so quiet in here lately.
Ardan was very sick and barely could get out of bed, little less using his computer. He’s still having some blood test done. Let’s hope there’s nothing serious and that those doctors won’t drain all his blood.:P And let’s hope he’ll get better in no time and regain his strenght.
Wes,Les and Maiko are cought up with work…jeez,when will we ever get a break?:P
Reelo had to change jobs so he lost internet conection for a while, but he kept in touch with me dayly by phone.
The only one I haven’t heared a word from is Miack and I really start to worry.
And this is about all of the squadron.
I said “about all” because I have a very nice surprise for you guys. Check out the news :P
Hehe…and no,I didn’t forget about you Jamie, we talked on irc and I really hope you’ll think about what I said to you :)
Anyway, as you see all of us were either sick or busy, so there’s no wonder there will be no winners for our indoor competitions. Those ended today and no one sent me anything. This is a pity ,because you just threw away some nice medals and on the other hand you didn’t help me at all with that loggon that we really need.
There is one exception …”Tartarus Ace” competition. It’s true it only had one contestant and he only flew 3 battles ,but at least he did :P So, as a competition has to have a winner, this time I declare Maiko the “October Tartarus Ace”.
And even if it’s a bit weird to award a medal for only 3 battles, considerring his overall activity, Maiko will get his shiny BW.
Now, let’s see the news and the rest of the report and you’ll hear more things I have to tell you in my final thoughts:P
NEWS
1. The former Tartarus CMDR, former WC and COM of Grey Wolf, the great COL Woobee is back! Welcome home Brent:)
2. The New Avenger Squadron CMDR is LC Azazel. Congratulations!

Squadron status

We’re now at 9 pilots and 75 citations. It doesn’t look bad,but it can be much better!
Recruit and fly!
Those of you who will be “responsible” for getting this squadron at 12 pilots and / or 100 citations will be rewarded.:)

-a short fiction about what you did all this time while i didn't heard from you
- a pilot file for at least a free mission (no high scores needed)
The first one of you who fulfils these conditions will get an ISM.
The others of you,who will participate to this short race, will get a private dinner in the cantina on my account, prepared by me and even served by your CMDR:P

POETRY CORNER

WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEBODY
By MAJ DarkC

When you think you really love somebody
And hope you’ll be together for the rest of your life,
The day you find out that it’s over
Would first make you feel like cut by a knife.
And you start being unfair
And blame and try to lay all guilt on the other
But down on my knees I know make a prayer
In God’s name, start listenning to eachother.
Couse at first you consider him your worst enemy
Without trying to understand what made him do so.
I know this couse the same happened to me
And to everything he was asking me, my answer was NO!
But then you remember that person was first of all your best friend,
You remember you loved him for the man that he was
So you decide to stay with him till the end
Couse you loved him for more than his hugs.
Be happy for him couse he found someone better
And start asking yourself what you did wrong
Cause for a friend’s happiness a small sacrifiece wouldn’t matter
You should always remember life isn’t a love song.
If you turn your back to a friend you have much more to miss
Much more than a simple chat, a hug or a sweet kiss
This time you might have made a mistake and you lost a lover
Just try to make sure you won’t loose a friend.
And this now goes to all of you my sweet friends
The day you’ll try to leave pride away,
The day you’ll know where friendship remains even if love ends
Only that day all your friends will be here to stay.
And always remember one day all this might happen to you.


LAST THOUGHTS
As I told you in the e-mail I hope all of you read, I won’t be asking for any flying activity for now. We have to keep our strenght for SC.
That’s why I will start some trainning sessions next week, so each of you will know what he has to do when the time comes:P
But this means you have to at least check your inboxes and answer my e-mails to let me know I’m not talking alone.
I am sorry if I forgot anything, but I’m really in a hurry, my mother’s coming home tonight to stay over the winter and her room is a total mess…lol
Be sure you’ll hear more from me through e-mails next week. And make sure you stay tunned!

Long live Tartarus!
Long live Grey Wolf!

“Never know what you’ve got till is gone…”

Respectfully submitted,
CMDR/MAJ DarkC/Tartarus.
