CMDR/MAJ Beef reporting for Thunder Squadron on September 14, 2001.

NATIONAL (USA) DAY OF PRAYER AND REMEMBERANCE
Considering what has happened, I'll be more than understanding if any of you wish some time off. God be with us.

THUNDER vs INFERNO
It's the Infernites' turn to feel the wrath of us Thunderinians! Fly FREETIE-159 "Learn From the Past" (attached) by [insert date that is two weeks away here]. 100% participation this time!

THUNDER RUN-ON COMPETITION
I hope you've all be following the run-on story that's been on our mb. For those who don't know, a run-on is a story where each chapter is written by a different person. Anyway, our run-on is quite long and now it needs a conclusion! You have a month (until October 14) to write the best conclusion to the run-on you can. I'll be judging on humor and how well the story holds together (grammar and spelling will not be considered, so don't worry if English isn't your first language), but most importantly, I'm looking for an ending that resolves everything that was brough up in previous parts. No loose ends. The winner will receive a bright new medal (an IS-BR). I have compiled ALL the previous parts of the run-on into a MS Word document so that you won't have to search the mb.

SHADOW GETS PROMOTED
Congrats to Shadow who, due to his extremely high dedication and activity, is now a LCM! And that means a promo story! Mwuhahahaha!

DEX GETS A BEEFY AWARD
Also much congrats to LT Dex D'Alcobia for receiving a Bronze Star for excellent service in the month of August

THUNDER MOVINGS ABOUT
1) LCM Freddy has had to go to the RSVs due to RL work. He should be back in 3 weeks.
2) CM Myn Nebers, a former Thunderinian who departed on June 20, 2001, has returned.
3) LT Leonardo returned from vaction only to find his computer was broken, which is why nobody had heard from him. Now he's all fixed up and back to normal.

THUNDER WEEKLY RIDDLE/QUIZ
Shadow and Tigurius will be writting Riddles and such to go with my reports. Send your answers to me. Each correct answer gets a "point." At the end of each month, I add up the points and the winner gets an IS-BR!
THIS WEEK'S RIDDLES:
Certain people haven't written them yet. Hmm. I will be able to send them out
tomorrow, no?
CURRENT RIDDLE STANDINGS:
LT Dex - 5
RA Manitsas - 2

TIGURIUS CONTINUES WORK ON WEBSITE
Send any fiction, pics, ideas, etc to LCM Tigurius. The website is under construction at "http://thundersquadonline.tripod.com/" If it tells you that you need to download a media player, I suggest you do so that you can hear the beefy thunder sound effect!

RECRUIT!
We always need more pilots.

CANTINA RUN IV (phase 1)
First, we are to write some fiction based on the recently canceled wargame known as "Imperial Storm II." If you're like most people, you don't have a clue what happened in ImpStorm. this site tells you. (http://www.tiecorps.org/reports/tcreports.asp?battlegroupid=1) This is a Battle Group competition. That means it's the Challenge vs the other ISDs. And participation is a large bonus, meaning write crap if you have to. September 21st due date.
