CMDR/CPT Wil_Striker Reporting on 3-3-01 for Samekh Squadron in Wing V
SQUADRON NEWS
LT Justin was appointed as the new FL for Flight III!
Activity was down quite a bit this week, but I’ll take the hit for that since I’ve been busy putting my new house together. ;)
Starting this next week we will need to start seeing a mark increase in activity. Flying, IWATS courses, mission design, writing fiction, web design, and recruiting are all acceptable ways to stay active. Remember, an active pilot is the one that gets ahead faster than the rest!
Wil_Striker`s Wise Word`s of The Week..... "When exiting the hangar, be sure the blast area is clear of all lifeforms, including droids! :)"

WING NEWS
Weekly Wing V Meetings:
Wing V will start having weekly meetings each Saturday at 1300 HRS CST in the Airlock! All pilots are welcome to attend, although the primary purpose of these meetings are for Command purposes, all pilots are welcome to inject ideas or thoughts during the meetings, and are strongly encouraged to attend. J
Wing V CMDR positions now open:
Due to the recent loss of CM RedTaz to the Reserves, and CPT Arathar to Vortex Squadron, Wing V is in dire need for two new Command Officers. WC LC Proton is accepting applications for new replacements, but only those that meet the criteria for advancement to be a CMDR need apply.

EH Ladder is online!
2/27/01 02:06 - HA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
After many months, the EH Ladder is finally online. The ladder features divisions for X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, Jedi Knight and X-Wing Alliance. The ladder is pretty much automated. The only human interaction is the reporting of matches (and signing up, of course). The ladder code takes care of all the score/win/loss/draw incrementing, as well as the ladder displaying code and emailing off the pretty match confirmation emails (which are in colour-coded HTML, to match the colours of each ladder.). You can visit the ladder site at http://www.imperialacademy.org/ladder/.
