Pilot's Lounge
It's time to write the fiction.
It's time to light the lights.
It's time to meet the pilots, in the Wing Report tonight.
It's time to put on the uniform.
It's time to dress up right.
It's time to raise the curtain, in the Wing Report tonight.
Why do we always read this?
I guess we'll never know.
It's like a kind of torture.
To have to read this slow.
And now let's get things started.
Why don't you get things started?
It's time to get things started...
In the most sensational...
Inspirational...
Celebrational...
Wingatational...
This is what we call the Wing Report!
Pretty hard to follow up an introduction like that, but here goes...
"Reports of my leaving are greatly exaggerated," Rear Admiral Sarin started.
"No, I will not be leaving, and the leave itself was quite short indeed."
"Indeed, but there was some interest..." Khadgar replied, motioning towards a stack of datapads with interest in becoming Wing Commander.
Sarin laughed, "Well, we certainly won't be needed those. Send them to the cantina, we're in dire need of coasters for the beverages."
Sarin walked over to Khadgar's desk and pushed a button next to a small speaker.
"All hands, hear this. Your Commodore is back, in full force. You have all been doing excellent work during the month. The current Battlegroup competition is quickly coming to a conclusion. I don't need to remind you of what this means. Everyone keep up the great work!"
Letters from the Cardinal...
This week's Cardinal topic: Final exams.
It seems many of you are required to write some exams this month. This can be quite tedious, so I've developed some strategies to help you out:
Rule 1: If it's Chemistry, find the moles, multiply it by something, and then divide by a third thing.
Rule 2: If it's Biology, it is usually either enzymes, Mendel's Laws, or a food chain.
Rule 3: If it's Physics, try plugging the numbers you are given into the formulas you vaguely remember from class.
Rule 4: If it's Math, graph it.
Rule 5: If it's Shakespeare, it's usually the most complex answer, and usually the one which involves obvious literary devices.
Rule 6: If it's History, it's one of the characteristics of a political or economic system.
Rule 7: If it's written response, prattle on with as much as you can, while trying to stick to the topic if possible. If there is a large volume of exams, they will give you a good mark simply because they have to mark too many exams in too short a time. You evil person, you.
Hopefully these tricks will aid you in any exams you may have. And remember, if all other choices are exhausted, choice C is looking pretty good.
Good luck!

Wing Commander's Office
Once again, nothing too special to say this week. ASF:SC V activity has kept up nicely, and the Grey Wolf is stilling extremely well. It's a very close race. Please look at your Inbox this week and keep up with the excellent activity!
On a personal note, I have some exams in the last week of this month, so I'll be studying to an extent. This shouldn't require any formal leave.
