SALUTE

Squadron Status

- Alright. As of this moment, we have a 6 man squadron. In a few days, I think that number may drop to below that, maybe 4, possibly 3 depending on if someone needs to head fro the RSVs. Our new member, Bipspic, has finally responded to some AIM querying and says that he is having RL problems. I don't know the extent of them, but he may need to leave for the RSVs while he settles them. I haven't heard much from LT Jabar. Hizad has also had no contact at all with me. Miack has left the squadron for Wing IX WC. So that leaves... Me, Bros and LT Deryll along with Bipspic possibly. This is really upsetting. Look, if you joined the TC, I assume it was to have fun. Well, guess what? Nothing's more fun than meeting new people, playing computer games and having a few competitions along the way. At least not in the online world there ain't. RL is a different story ;) So Everybody who can fly, please fly! If you can't fly, then write some fiction, or visit the Imperial Academy and do some courses! Everything counts! Just tell me what you are doing and I'll be happy.

Wing News

- The Vanguard is rumored to be in third place at the moment in the SC IV comp. This puts us ahead of the Mutt, but the Intrepid is a loooong way ahead of us and Avenger Squadron is just ahead of the Van. So everyone fly a battle a week or something. Please.

At the moment, I'm not doing too well on my pledge for 500 points a week, but I hope to change that for next week, that's when my teachers (please God, hear my prayers :P) fall over and die and school is let out for the rest of the year. And by the way, I just got Jedi Knight II ! It's rad! w00!!!! Go buy it, but only if you can con your parents into beleiving that you'll pay them back the 70 bucks canadian.
