Man alive!! Is it me or does it feel like the weeks are flying by? It was Halloween not too long ago. Veteran's Day just passed, Thanksgiving is near, Christmas next on the calendar then the baby New Year will be jumping around. Let's keep it tight for the holidays boys and keep the Imperial spirit alive.
Squadron News
--------------
To my amazement, squadron activity is at 100% participation. All of you have done at least a couple things this week with some errors though. :P I'm very impressed. It should always be like this. I love to see you guys flying about and writing stuff.
The Sin-Theta Challenge will go into affect soon. CPT Emrys and Theta Squadron have taken our challenge. I filled out the competition form and awaiting it's TO approval.
Operation: Release the TIEs on its 12th day. No signs of battles yet. Keep your missile boats prepped because the 20th and last day is almost near and fighting will probably occur very soon.
Graphics for the SSS have been submitted by only 2 pilots. Mac and I.
LCM MacCredu has submitted a nice story in for Battle Cry, so keep your eyes peeled for the next Battle Cry Edition.
Also, I submitted our uniforms and banner to the Battle Cry editor for the next edition. Hopefully people will begin to see who we truly are.
I'm getting "I wanna join" letters from two, say again TWO, cadets on Daedalus Platform. One of them just got on a week ago and the other has been around for a while but wants to join up with us. That'll be cool.
Squadron Orders
---------------
The 3rd phase of the Border Wars is apparently going on still and is due Nov 14th. For this phase you are now ordered to fly the 2 previous missions (download at squad site) but there are no restrictions of difficulty level and rebels shooting. I only have submissions from all of you but Squall and Strahd you must fly it again since you flew them as a battle. Sorry :(, missions must be flown on one .tfr file each. But you'll get through it again easily I'm sure.
If you'd like to start the Sin-Theta Challenge, round 2, go on and fly FM-110. (Attached and at the squad site)
Fiction part for the competition of Wing II against Omega is to write a story in which Wing II pilots find ways to ridacule those Omega boys. Think of something guys. Should be really interesting. Stories due by the 20th of this month.
UNIFORMS! That's all...
