Lieutenant Colonel Philo reporting in for Yod Squadron 3.09.03


Fleet News:


· Several members of the EH have been called to RL military active duty, including COMs Sarin and Autoris. First of all, thanks for going, and second, come back safely.
· MAJ Archon is the new Wing XIII WC.
· Drake has been promoted to General.


Ship News:


· The Rat Pack defeated the Wing I CMDRs. Excellent… means bigger helpings for us when they face Wing IV. :P
· Operation: Outrageous Fortune: still going.
· Sovereign Squadron League starts March 15. We’re automatically entered in TIE for sure—let me know if there’s interest in our squadron doing XvT or XWA as well.

Wing News:



· COL Reaper has left Kaph for the reserves. Cheers, and hope you return soon.
· Now for the good news: Stepping into his position as Kaph CMDR is Evo Sarnok. Welcome back, Evo!
· MAJ Malik in Lamed has been awarded a Bronze Star. Congrats, Mal!
· Wing Comp for March:

· March Wing Ace Comp: Same drill as before. This month’s battles: TIE-TC 157, XvT-TC 57, XWA-TC 31.
· Wing Archives comp is still running, as well.


Squadron News/Orders:

News:

· MAJ Phoenix Berkana has rejoined Yod. Welcome back!
· The Yod Citation Marathon Comp has started. With Phoenix’s return, they’re now for real, live citations! (Ooh! Aah!) Still easy—one citation battle a week--but still a low priority compared to the SSL.
The only entries this week were from Foxy and "Pace Car" Philo. So, now Foxy only needs to make it 3 more weeks to meet the minimum requirements. Unless, of course, Phoenix decides to jump in and make a race of it.
Here’s the list of battles needing one more pilot to fly:
TIE-TC 12,22,23,28,31,33,36,38,40,44,45,52,58,63,66,68,72,73,74,75,78.80,82,83,85,90,96,
98,99,100,101,106,113,117,122,123,125,132,136,137,138,140,150,154,155,160,164,165,
167,174,177,183,184,185,193,194,198,199
TIE-DB 1,4,6,7,8,9
TIE-BHG 2
TIE-CAB 3
TIE-FCHG 3
XvT-FCHG 1
XWA-TC 8,11,15,16

· About this time last year, I put a pretentious quote from Sun Tzu in a squadron report. In the interest of balance, or tradition, or just because I feel like it, I’m going to include another pretentious quote in this one, from Lao Tzu this time: (no, they’re not twins :P)

When the Master governs, the people
are hardly aware that he exists.
Next best is a leader who is loved.
Next, one who is feared.
The worst is one who is despised.

If you don’t trust people,
you make them untrustworthy.

The Master doesn’t talk, he acts.
When his work is done,
the people say,"Amazing:
we did it ourselves!"

I think most of you know me well enough by now to realize how hard it is for me to not stick my nose in places where it doesn’t belong, if I think I’m acting in your best interests. I’m also prone to take things over if I think I can do a better job. If you want or need me to back off from something you’re doing, don’t hesitate to ask. After I still don’t back off, feel free to call me a hypocrite. :P
