Theta Squadron WSR #24

I think its safe to say we are all truly into the festive period at present, so I can only take this brief opportunity to wish you all well and hope that post December we’re all returned safe and well. At this stage I consider Theta to be on leave until the New Year so this will likely be the penultimate report prior to the inevitable, rambling report I will issue around the 31st. I make no apologies for its rambling in advance, fingers crossed it will be a useful opportunity to sit and reflect on what we’ve managed to accomplish and perhaps set some targets for the first few months of next year – FCHG levels to gain, medals to complete the correction, rank or position promotions for those few of you still with places to go and aspirations to command!

Between beta and Alpha there are 3 available FL positions, so if anyone fancies an opportunity they would have my blessing to do so – even if it does represent base treachery in abandoning the Warrior! However safe to say the only person getting the beating will be me, from the COM, so you can all do as you will guilt free. It’s worth noting as well that while COL Frown has grown to fill his role and expanded in presence well beyond it we have yet to set eyes on the elusive Hammer WC. Either they’re one of those dangerous, quiet, hard-working types, or Woody keeps killing them off… Either way I may simply invent one if the Hammer doesn’t already have plans – I think Frown needs a friend with less than four legs and it’s safe to say that of the 40,000 plus souls onboard the Warrior his friends equal roughly zero.

You may catch me on SC over the next few days but I’m presently a duty officer and constrained by my base’s perimeter fence and an internet connection that makes me look fondly at 1997. Beyond that I’ll be travelling to family, so if there’s anything you need drop me a line but excuse me if it takes a little longer to reply than usual. As a last thought the MWE will hopefully be completed by the last MSE and processed pre-Xmas – the real present we’re all waiting for… or not as the case may be!

Theta Competitions

Thetan Aces ongoing, no submissions as yet so no awards – squadron on leave so further activity will be expected in the New Year. In the meantime any activity over the holidays will likely earn medals.

Operational Picture

...I swear it gets worse every year, I know every planet has its own customs about getting through the winter, but this just feels like a poor excuse for getting batfaced drunk and … wait, why am I arguing? So lets summarise, Aurora’s Midwinter Day celebrates the deepest point of winter by consuming vast quantities of roasted meat, brewed and distilled beverages, street parties and relaxed morals??? I’ve been part of this fleet for near a decade and I’m hearing about this now??? No wonder we were always on border patrols, damn Admirals...

(Theta Crew Chief, Main Hangar, ISD Warrior)

…Do we get him a present or gift, it’s the local custom and seen as we’re in orbit over the capitalk we might as well match the local customs right? Of course it means breaking into his quarters again, but that’s nothing new – I’m surprised he even bothers locking it anymore, but at least he’s stopped trying to booby trap it. Remember last week when we had to pull those stewards out of the webbing he’d rigged to trap them, never mind the COM’s face when he stepped on that stun mine… never knew the old man could dance, hah! What, what? He’s behind me isn’t he...

(XO, Command Bridge, ISD Warrior)

…Orders over the leave period are as follows; no arrests, no disintegrations, no loss of life or serious wounding, no criminal activity. Any of the above that lead to me being contacted while I’m on my romantic break with the lovely, and quite frankly more interesting than you horrible lot by a parsec, Wing XO will face my wroth. To put your scabrous minds on the right track I’ll paraphrase from a relevant passage of the Book of La’an - and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my holiday. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. Thus endeth the message, have fun but have it at a great distance and out of sight…
