Pilot Activity:
I spoke with MAJ Talons Pryde and he continues to experience technical difficulties. He will return once the problem is fixed.

LT Arlins continues to fly an impressive amount of missions. He keeps in contact, email and posting messages. He has been accepted in House Tridens, Clan Tarentum with the Dark Brotherhood.
Flew TC 62, TF 226, 228. Nearing a new FCHG rank.

CPT Vector is keeping constant communications, also remaining drunk to the utmost of his abilities. The UK lost has led to a larger consumption of alcohol, if that is possible.

LT Shivor Dahr is experiencing computer problems but is keeping in contact.

LT Kaiser completed flying TC 1. He is working on training for the Dark Brotherhood and intends to join House Tridens, Clan Tarentum.

I continued assisting the two new Alpha pilots in their indoctrination into Alpha Squadron. With the addition of pilots, even more battles need to be flown for squadron citations. Reached the Knight FCHG rank. Flew: TC 12, TC 13, DB 4, TF 206, 211, 212, 219, 223. Submitted ICQ IWATS.

News:
I analyzed the battleboard and have focused on battles that myself and LT Arlins can complete for squadron citations.

LCM Kahooli: TC 12, 13, 21, 74, 125, 165
LT Arlins: TC 31, 77, 78, 123, 155, 165, BHG 2, FCHG 2

Once the new pilots get a feel for flying I will begin looking for squadron citations that we can earn with their battles flown.

Competitions
-Talks will resume with Delta Squadron for a squadron vs. squadron competition. The addition of pilots to the squadron will help out greatly once they understand the basics of the TC and we will be able to make a very strong showing in ANY competition.

-The Sovereign Cup is coming! I don’t know what will encompass this competition but it is being ran by the same personnel who brought SSL 2003. This will be a TIE-based individual competition starting probably in September. It will be limited to 32 pilots, using an elimination format to determine the winners over several rounds. Stay tuned for details from LC Todbringer.

-SSL 2004 will likely start in January!

-Imperial Storm IV is scheduled to begin in early September. I don’t know what this competition is but I’m sure details will follow.

Several competitions from the TAC are soon to be released. I see several opportunities for the squadron to make a mark and a good showing in these competitions. Details and links below:

1. FCHG Competition #4 – Eagles of Freedom

3. Golden Tugs Award

4. What would you do if you were TAC (This should be easy to enter and your creativity can win it)
The dates on this one are 15 Sep – 30 Sep.

I hope you enjoy this weeks squadron report. Fly when you can. I’d like to see the two new pilots complete an IWATS this week. I just submitted the ICQ IWATS after the 15 minutes finding the answers. The AIM is just as easy. LT Arlins, you have your flight orders above; send me an email and let me know what DB missions you are working on so I can fly them also. It will help us both and get the squadron a step closer in further citations. CPT Vector, keep me informed of the UK football team. I am stuck in ACC country so I don’t get any information. Let me hear something from you Shivor. Hope you get things going better for you MAJ Talons.
