<salute>

Hey guys, sorry the report is so late. I postponed it until Monday arvo my time (like 5am Monday morning US time) cuz of some RL stuff and then I had a couple of connection problems last night :( Anyway the EH pages are still down, so there wont be too much fleet news in this report, but I'm sure most/all of you will have gotten that info in the WC report Ambar sent out Saturday. Was a pretty quiet week on the ship, with exception of all the commotion Keiran was making in the simulator room.....how about some of you try and keep up? Either that or give Keiran some sleeping pills! :P

Other than that, we're still stifled by the 'usual' problems of the last few weeks....we still need CMDRs for some of our Squads and as is true of most of the TC nowadays, not enough new members are coming in. Actually....I almost forgot about the biggest thing for us this week.....the release of Revenge of the Sith! I dont know about you guys, but I thought it was a great movie and well and truely better than either of the previous two prequels. I also read in the paper yesterday that it has broken the record Shrek 2 held for highest take on it's opening day in america taking 66.3 mil. I think Shrek 2 was about 60-62mil. It's also taken about $60 mil throughout the rest of the world, which is no mean feat! Wouldn't mind if we got a cut of the profits eh boys? I'll have to see what I can work out with Georgey boy. Free drinks for life....not a bad premise eh? ;)

Enjoy the report!

Ship News
;

- Open CMDR positions: Yes, we still have open CMDR positions in Odin and Valkyrie Squadrons at this time. If anyone is interested, please let Ambar and myself know, we cannot consider you for a command position if we dont know that your interested! Also, like I've mentioned many times before, if you know of anyone outside the wing thats interested....encourage them to apply. We need to fill these positions soon so we can start to get back on track activity and competition wise!

- Competition Participation: At the present time, we do not have a lot of mission/battle specific competitions running, but we do have both our monthly Wolfpack competitions and the ASF HS competition that VA Gidda started earlier this month. So far I have seen pretty poor levels of activity in all the comps presently available to members of the ship. This is pretty disappointing guys, if your not even going to make an effort to be active in these comps, how do you expect us to set up wing v wing comps and things like that when we have no visible proof that the wing is up to such a challenge. I know, as always, the Grey Wolf rises to any challenge set to it, but at the moment Ambar and I would like to see more of an effort made by you guys.

    I admit myself (I wont speak for Ambar), that I've not been the best activity role model the past few weeks, but I have flown for the ASF HS competition and I do maintain an active email and IRC presence where possible. As far as the competitions on the ship go, we have a comp for just about every EH activity. We have a comp for SP, MP, recruiting and two for GFX submissions, so noone really has an excuse for not doing something. We've also got the fleet-wide IWATS incentive competition...so everything is covered. So please, at least try and complete one battle, a couple of MP matches or some IWATS/GFX a week....all the competitions are there, you just need to participate. If you have any ideas and/or suggestions in regards to competitions, by all means email Ambar and myself with them and we will see if we can use them for the benefit of the ship. 

- Recruiting: Yup, this will stay in my weekly reports until we start getting some! As I've said every report, when/if you get the time try and recruit through forums, MP gaming on BSC etc or you can always use the tried and true routes of offering help to cadets and trying to coax RSV's outta retirement. We need active new or returning members to boost our numbers and help us to remain in our rightful place as biggest and best ship in the ASF!

Departing member: As yet, due to the TC website being down, I dont know if this has happened, but I'd like to congratulate LT Blackrage on his acceptance into Avenger Squadron. Late last week I got an email from Nightmare, CMDR of Avenger with an offer of a spot in Avenger for Blackrage. Now, if your a diehard MPer in the ASF and you get an offer to join Avenger, you hardly ever say no...so off Blacky goes! As much as it is disappointing to see such an active and dedicated member of the wing leave, far be it for us to stifle his career by denying him such a chance. Congrats and good luck Lieutenant, and dont forget us when your looking for your first command! ;)

- MSEs: The end of the month is next Tuesday, and as such MSE's will be due. So I thought I'd give you CMDRs (and you Ambar :P) an early reminder that your monthly reports are due by next Friday, the 3rd of June. This is as per VA Gidda's request from his first report as BGCOM. He wants the complete Monthly Evaluations on his desk by the end of the first week of each month, so start preparing those MSEs!
