SQUADRON NEWS:

Welcome to the 54^th Cobra Squadron Report. ACTIVITY WAAAAAHOOOOOOOO! again only from me, come on guys get busy. I have been literally flying my tail off and it paid off. I now own the 5th spot in the wing as far as FCHG points! I again flew for an amazing 53 mission count. That's 11 less than last week but hey what do you expect during a holiday shopping spree and and dealing with work for the holiday preparations! For the rest of you clowns and lazy couch potatoes, please remember that Cobra is currently the COM's Escort squadron so we need to continue to do everything we can do to keep it. Yes that's right as far as I know we are still number #1 in the wing as far as activity thanks to we all know who right? That's right me with some help from CM Hunterwolf. So get off your butts and get busy with anything, I don't care if it's stick figure graphics creations. Just do them and send them to me.

Okay as far as comps go, I have submitted one to the TO for approval. Just like I stated last week I'm looking for a PotW (Pilot of the Week) banner. So I've submitted it as a non-flying comp. I have also included the following details, the wing will be involved if no submissions from Cobra after 6 days of the competition starting. This will ensure 2 things, 1 that the comps gets completed and that someone gets an award for their activity. As it turns out the squad vs squad comp I was working on seems to have died a bit. I will send another letter to Krayt CMDR MAJ Aidan Pryde detailing all the stuff needed to get this cop approved for our squads and then soon I hope the comp will take off. So lets get ready to kick some butt!

Please remember if you go on leave at any time especially during the holidays, please be sure to set your status on your online profile to "on leave" so I won't badger you for not reporting in on time.

CMDR's Work: I have been slowly working on my new goal to attain the next FCHG rank of Archon, obviously I'm some missions (battles) away but its getting closer with each passing day as I try to fly atleast 2 battles a day. Now while saying that we now have some good totals for you all today. Although this may take some time, but the objective here is to get as much as I can get done by the end of December, currently I'm at 1231 and I'm not officially 5th in the wing! Yay me. I managed to fly an amazing 53 missions this week down 11 from last week, but hey that's greatly more than most of the wing in general. I will be slowing continuing the crawl upward for my next goal, but will stay busy in the meantime so just keep watching.

Again I know school has some of you in peril, but hey I know it's coming to a close soon since the holidays are coming, so let's get busy okay? I really want to do some BSF's for you guys seriously. Make me happy and give me something else to report on save for my own :P

Remember that I will also accept any work for those of you who are doing FW on your spare time. So please don't forget to send me any activity you have for this platform. I will add it to the report and get you any rewards in which you are entitled to. If anyone needs me please use email. This is the fastest way to make contact with me right now, so I have minimum distractions. Thanks.

(SP) FCHG Stuff: LC Apophis Kuma is the current leader in December so far doing SP flying, with a score of 158 points so far and was followed close behind by CM Hunterwolf with 45, but not any more, I have taken a grand lead and 5th in the Wing!

PS: Don't forget my email address is apophis@blacksunalliance.org so be sure to update your address books. Remember you slithering snakes, DO SOME ACTIVITY! nuff said!

That's it for this week, cya next time!
