Welcome to Aylin Squadron Weekly Report #79, being for the week of
24 February through 3 March 2001.

Squadron News:
LT Rogue Ronin has been assigned as the Flight Leader of Aylin Three.

I have come up with a “short” list of battles to earn some squadron citations.
(AND WE’RE BACK UP TO FOUR!!!!!!!)
This is still not a competition, as only Iron Stars are awarded for competitions. However, if you get them done by the end of February, you’ll earn an ISM for outstanding service to the Empire, Aylin
Squadron and Wing V. The battles are: TC-3, 6, 10, 98, 131 and 132. There is no time limit. (The only person to cash in on this so far is LT Alexandros.)

Squadron Status:
LC Gen Es’mith - No flight activity. Active on email and AIM.
LCM Hotshot - No flight activity. Active on email and AIM.
LT Face Loran - No flight activity. Active on email.
LT Rogue Ronin - Appointed as Flight Leader of Aylin 3. Active on email and AIM.
LT Josef Es’mith - Worked on TC128. Completed INPR. Active on email.
LT Joshua Es’mith - Worked on TC-128. Completed INPR. Active on email.
LT Alexandros - Flew TC-6. Awarded CoB and ISM. Completed TIE Mission Creation IWATS Course. Active on email.
LT Max - Active on email and AIM.

Awards:
I’ve been awarded my second Commendation of Loyalty as well as the Order of the Vanguard 2nd echelon, but have received no paperwork from the OPS Office.
LT Alexandros was awarded the COB and an ISM. His ISM was not notified to me, the WC or the COM.
LT’s Max, Alexandros were awarded an LoA for their INPRs.

Current Assignments:
The current assignment is the WING V Heavy Rocket Rumble!
Details:
Competition chairman: WC/LC Proton/Wing V/SSSD Sovereign, EHProton@aol.com
Contest Web site: http://wingv.emperorshammer.ca/ (once you get there, follow
the "Heavy-Rocket Rumble" link)

Pilots will engage in several competitions this month in an event intended to generate a lot of fun for everyone in Wing V.

Each pilot may participate in any or all events. Medals will be given in each category, and consideration also will be given to an overall champion who does the best in multiple categories.

The contest begins on Feb. 1 and ends Feb. 28. Pilots are to send all entries to me at EHProton@aol.com. Make sure to CC: your CMDR on your entries; I may need to enlist their assistance in gathering stray results at the end of the contest. They also will need to see your entries for activity-tracking purposes and to file appropriate BSFs.

CATEGORIES

1. Flight. Fly TC Battle 128, "Operation Yridia Alpha." Laserless scoring in effect. Winner: Iron Star-Bronze Ribbon. Runner-up: IS-Copper Ribbon.

2. Mission creation. Create a TIE, XvT or XWA mission or battle. Missions MUST in some fashion include these elements in the plotline: Wing V and heavy rockets.
Winner: Iron Star-Nickel Ribbon. Runnerup: IS-CR.

3. Fiction. Write stories that include the elements of Wing V and heavy rockets. Serious and humorous entries will be accepted. All appropriate submissions will be collected and included in the Wing V Chronicles.
Winner:
Iron Star-Nickel Ribbon. Runnerup: IS-CR.

4. Graphics. Wing V could use some new banners. We are primarily a
heavy-assault and assault wing, so pilots should create full-size or link banner(s) featuring Wing V, and some form of heavy-rocket involvement. Be creative!
Winner: Iron Star-Nickel Ribbon. Runnerup: CR.

5. Invite a cadet. The Wing V pilot who invites the most involvement from PLT Daedalus cadets as guests in this contest may be recommended for a Medal of Instruction. During your recruiting communications with cadets, mention this competition to them -- invite them to participate as a training bonus. Cadets are not eligible for the main awards unless they become active members of the wing during the contest period; in these cases, their submissions will be considered for awards. In any case, this will be great experience for the
cadets and give them a real taste of what active duty will bring. Note:
Pilots will receive credit for a cadet's involvement only if the cadet
includes the pilot's ID line with his submittals to me.

6. Heavy-Rockey Rumble Champion. The overall winner will receive a Palpatine Crescent for general excellence.

Communications:
My response to the new Wing V Message Board:
But I don't like this board.
I don't like here.
I don't like there.
I don't like this board anywhere.

I do not like it over on TC.
I do not like this board you see.

I do not like over on the D'hood.
I do not think this board is good.

(my apologies to Theodore Geisel....)
