Wing III News and Orders
--------------------------------------
- First off, I'd just like to welcome all of the new faces that have joined us here in Wing III. SL Wes Combat has joined our ranks in Hey Squadron, and LT Dark Angel has been quite busy over in Daleth. Angel has already been promoted to full Lieutenant (congrats!), as well as flying a LOT of missions and passing quite a few IWATS courses. Nice work, Angel! Last but certainly not least, I'd like to offer a hearty "welcome back" to LT August Gladius, who has now taken up residence in Daleth Squadron.
- Yeah yeah ... I know what you want to see. Results for the "Who Wants to Win an Iron Star" competition, right? Well, look no further :
FL/LCM Mayk Wolverine, Aleth : 26,350 pts.
FL/CM Cal Sinis, Beth : 8,795 pts.
CMDR/CPT Jaster Sadista, Aleth : 6,647 pts.
CMDR/LC Sequoh Marden, Beth : 6,514 pts.
FL/LCM Yun, Aleth : 5,025 pts.
FM/LCM Ranger, Daleth : 4,128 pts.
FL/LT Josh Popelka, Hey : 3,916 pts.
FM/LT Dark Angel, Daleth : 3,756 pts.
FL/CM Egg'Foo, Daleth : 3,062 pts.
All I can say is ... wow. LCM Mayk Wolverine managed to check in with an unbelievable score (that's a new high score for the entire TIE Corps, by the way). Excellent performance was also shown by our 2nd and 3rd place finishers, CM Cal Sinis and CPT Jaster Sadista. Perhaps once the Iron Star system has been refined a bit further, I will be able to award medals to the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the future. For now however, a shiny new IS-BR is on it's way to Mayk Wolverine. Terriffic flying!
- Combat Run #2 of the XWA League is quickly drawing to a close! All CMDRs should have reports for their squadrons in to me by tomorrow at the latest. Stay tuned for details about CR#3 which should be released within the next few days.
- Nothing is official yet, but I am considering the possibility of rewards for pilots who manage to consistantly participate in the many combat runs of the XWA League. Let's just say it would be worth your while to fly in as many CRs as you possibly can. More details as they become available.
- Wing III IRC meeting content / time still being revised by CM Osan'gar.
- New Aleth Squadron website courtesy of CPT Jaster Sadista : http://www.AlethSquadron.homestead.com
I believe that Jaster and Mayk will be combining their talents for future projects involving the Aleth website. Stay tuned ...
- As announced by FO/AD Theodore : The TCCOM's Own award winner for January is Wing XIII, the ISD Grey Wolf.
- Combat Readiness Test results for Aleth and Daleth Squadons are in. Congrats to Aleth for getting a CRR Level 5 and becoming the highest rated squad in the wing! Meanwhile, Daleth managed to hold on to their respectable CRR Level 2.
- New Hey Squadron Message Board : http://www.tiecorps.org/mb/view.asp?b=26&v=0&s=0

- A matter of some interest : the new Tactical Officer for the EH is none other than AD StarLion, whom some of you may remember ...
- GN Ricardo's "Name that Ewok" challenge continues : http://www.crimson-net.org/wingiv/ewokmain.htm

Congrats to Seq, who recieved the IS-CR for being Beth's top scorer. This was a close match, and Beth just barely lost. If there would have been just ONE more submission ... >:|
- Daleth Squadron website updated by CM Egg'Foo : http://www.daleth.co.uk
- CM Cray Mikalen and CM Osan'gar have begun to re-organize the Wing III Mentoring program to get things back on track (and get more pilots into the wing)!
- Aleth vs. Phantom competition currently in the works, preliminary details being drawn up by CPT Jaster Sadista.
- Excellent work by CM Egg'Foo, who has created a custom collar and helmet patch for Wing III pilot's uniforms! You will find both graphics attached to this report. It is my understanding that Egg'Foo will be submitting this to the Ops Office for "official" approval very soon. (Somewhere, CM Cray is rolling around in agony thinking about the huge update to the W3 Uniform Archive ...)
Wing III Quote 'o' the week
---------------------------------------
A conversation between LC Sequoh Marden and Frank, the Psychopathic Kung-Fu Ewok (as reported and translated by Seq) :
Frank: Eeee chuda! - Translation: Little-Sequoh-man, your report is late a day! I guess we should meet somewhen in the future. My schedule is very busy at the moment though. What about the 28th?
Sequoh: *looking frightened* That's ok Master Frank. Whatever you wish. But please consider that I was going to have a big party on that day, because I've been Beth's CMDR for a year then.
Frank: Eeee nowa! - Translation: That's good. Mind if I come to this party? I suspect it's somewhere in this cantina-room?
Sequoh: Yes, Master Frank. I'm very pleased to invite you to my party.
Frank: Eee 'chuda! - Translation: Good.
*Sequoh makes arrangements to have the party in his quarters instead and informs Sas that maybe Frank should stay in his cage on that special day*
(Note : Frank decided to stay in and clean his cage instead of attending Seq's party)
Other notable quotes (two week's worth!) :

"One last thing, and I'll let you go back to doing whatever illegal activity you were doing." -- Jaster has the highest faith in his pilots
"You do know that calling your squadron "Elite" is kinda illegal (or at least frowned upon)?" -- Werdna goes over some ground rules
"Everyone, to the Cantina! Drinks are on the Doc tonight!" -- Doc Cray Mikalen helps Aleth celebrate their CRR Level 5 ... and he just used up his paycheck for the next 2 years by paying for all the drinks ...

Misc.
--------
- Perhaps the ultimate oxymoron : Microsoft Works.
- This week's discussion topic : Mr. T's "Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool". Should this be required viewing on platform Daedalus? Are we ready for cadets that wear gold chains and throw their superiors? You make the call.
Okay, that just about wraps it up for this week. Fly High and Watch Your Six!
