CPT Drake Jensen reporting in for Mantis Squadron on 09.05.02
Commander's Corner:
-Welcome to another addition of the Mantis weekly report. Let me start this out by saying OH HELL YEAH! We won Top Dog! It was a long, hard fight but you guys never quit and we did it as a team. I am very proud of all of you. This makes two years in a row that Mantis has claimed the Top Dog winner's circle for their own.Way to go guys. Now let's show the rest of the ASF why we are feared and envyed wherever we are! AY! DO MANI!!!

Squadron News:
-YAY! Well boys we did it. Mantis is once again Top Daog of the Van. I want to thank you for all your hard work that went into winning this comp. Now lets try to keep up our activity and show the Van that we didn't win on luck but by skill.
-I am currently waiting approval of two campatitions. The first is a comp to do 10 battles first, and the second is a challenge from another squad. We will be flying battle XvT TC 46 for the pilot htgh score against Storm Squadron on the SSD Avenger.
-On a sad note, LCM Dufar Jabar has informed me that due to school restraints he will be requesting a transfer to the reserves. You will be sorely missed my friend. There will always be a spot for you in Mantis as long as I have a say in it. Good luck in all of your future endevors and drop by and kick it with us when you can.
-As stated above Dufar is going to the reserves. This opens up not only the flight leader position of II Flight but also the TAC officer. If you are interested in either position please let me know. When Dufar departs our citations will drop and it will be the responsibility of the TAC to assign battles that will raise our citations back up. I expect any flight leaders to be active and online a good bit. I have a few thoughts on who would do a good job in these positions but I will not make a decision until I hear from anyone that is interesed.
-Since the number of pilots on the Van has dropped drasticly, I would appreciate it if you would all work on recruiting. I will be asking Zerphirio to give us a list of three cadets each week that I would like everyone to email. I know that if I was a cadet and every member of a squadron emailed me in the same week, I would be impressed and want to check into that squad. We need to recruit for the entire ship not just for Mantis. Let's continue the tradition of Mantis leading the way and see if we can get some recruits!
-CM Serge Broskopf is my XO. Please cc him on all squadron related things except pilot files.
-LT Zerphirio Deryll is our recruitment officer. Please help him any way that you can.
-We are up to 31 citations. Thanks to those who are responsible for this increase.
-Pilot of the week is LT A. G. Snijglau. Congrats man!!! Your bar tab is on me this week.
Wing/Ship News:
-We have won the last round of Top Dog. Congrats guys! Take it easy this week and be ready to go at it full force next week.
-Brosky has gotten approvel for his competition. Here is the link for details.

The Recovery of the Hammer
In the darkness of time and space,
The ruling hammer was dropped and lost
The hand that grasped it, his cloak and face
Had dearly paid the ultimate cost.
Many others found the hammer
But they all failed to lift it
It could not be grasped under one banner
And so, it continued drifting
Then came the group of the loyal and proud
All knowing that one hand was not enough
Many hands came together, and said out loud
Reborn the Empire, the hammer’s aloft!
What was lost is now found
What was old is now anew
The hammer is no longer on the ground
And many have come from the few
We are all united, under the same banner!!!
Long live, the Emperor’s Hammer!
