CMDR/CPT Beef reporting for Thunder Squadron on January 28, 2001.

I found a cool book with cows AND Star Wars together, but I'm too lazy to scan some pics right now. You'll have to wait 'till next week. :P

WING/SHIP NEWS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WING COMMANDER ON LEAVE
WC Darklord left as all alone. Try not to trash TOO much of the ship while he's gone. COL Manitsas is A-WC untill Darklord gets back.

CYCLONE CMDR GONE
COL Mell, after a short time as Cyclone CMDR, left to be a Flight Member somewhere else. LCM Kyle Kantarn is A-CMDR for now.

SICKBAY
Greetings fellow Wing X'ers. Are you happy? Are you enjoying your time here? Are you getting along with your fellow officers? Are you having fun? If so, then terrific! If not, then stop on by the ISD Challenge sickbay (members.aol.com/InfernoHQ/sickbay.html) and have a chat with me, your Ship's Doctor. Your consultation is completely confidential, and we may be able to find a way to address your concern. I can be contacted at mantsas@aol.com or at AOL Instant Messanger screenname "Manitsas"

THE WEEKLY COW QUOTE!
"Ah, yes, I wrote the 'Purple Cow'-
I'm sorry, now, I wrote it!
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'll kill you if you quote it."
Gelett Burgess (1866-1951), U.S. humorist, illustrator. Cinq Ans Après.
Don't worry. He's already dead, so I'm safe!

Not as active this week, but that might be because of the evil eGroups (at least I hope that's what it is). I'm working on an alternative, but I'm still open to anymore suggestions.

Arrivals - none
Departures - none

SQUADRON STATUS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Kangaroo of the Week" competition is still waiting for someone to grab this ISM dangling in front of them. Challenge me to anything reasonable and try to hold the title {except for XvT ‘cause I don’t have that :(}

We are now battling Zayin squadron of Wing IV aboard the Sovereign. Fly FREETIE 137 (made by me!) before Feb 9. This is a short mission (you're more likely to get more bonus goals the faster you complete the goals), so you don't have an excuse not to fly it. The highest scorer in each squadron gets an Iron Star: Copper Ribbon. That equals an extra FCHG point. You can get 4 points from one mission if you get the high score. So now you have -1 excuses not to fly.

TO FLIGHT LEADERS: Don’t forget to tell me what you’ve decided about your flight mottos and nicknames.

I couldn't double check for lost email because of eGroups extra evilness, so if you did something this week, tell me about it so I can remove the 'no contact' from your record.
