Tempest Squadron Weekly Report   (04.07.2002) Whoops, I did it again... Another on-time report.    Tempest Squadron Orders Even though there aren't any comps this week, there's still stuff to do... Check outthe new Imperial Storm III website (click here) for information on how to participate in Imperial Storm III. More on that later. Fly a TC battle for a citation, cash and fabulous prizes... ok, so I probably won't be able to deliver on the cash, but fabulous prizes I may be able to swing. ;-D Complete an IWATS course (or two, or three). Even I have a few to do now! Recruit pilots into Tempest Squadron. The more the merrier!    News Fleet News Imperial Storm is back for a third installment. It would take far too long for me to describe it any better than they do on the IS3 site so just check it out at http://www.emperorshammer.net/wo/is3/. There's a new Flash IWATS course (that's 3 new courses in the last month for you IWATS fans out there). Check it out at http://iwats.stardestroyer.org/. All IWATS courses, of course, can be found on the Imperial Academy course listing page (http://www.imperialacademy.org/courses.asp). Wing VI is shut down and it's members are sprinkled into approximately equal positions aboard the Sov. I guess I can stop waiting for a response from Tav with respect my competition challenge. Hopefully, this will increase overall activity aboard the Sov. As always, you should check out the fleet news to catch all the stuff that doesn't make it into this report. Wing News Top billing this week goes to *drum roll* US! Congrats on helping make Tempest Squadron the Wing X Squadron of the Month! W00t! Congrats also goes to Boliv for Wing X CMDR of the month and to LT Karce for pilot of the month! Well deserved acolades to both of them. Locke is currently having internet problems, so Mai takes over as A-COM. Of course, the best thing to do would be to flood Locke's e-mail server with thousands of "get well soon" cards from the EH Greeting Card Center. Mai hurt her foot earlier today when she applied a swift kick to her Spectre Advanced Missile Boat, "Rivendell", upon returning from a particularly grueling XvT mission. The veritable river of explitives that followed lent new meaning to "swearing like a sailor." Squadron News A quiet week activity-wise as we recover from the first round of competitions in our little Superiority campaign. The score, thus far, is 5 Wins, 0 Losses, and 1 Draw. Great job, but we have not yet begun to fight! Keep your sticks warm for the next round of competitions comming up soon. A few medals went out this week... Mike, Rover, and Kane get ISMs and Dirk gets a PC for activity this past month. Great job guys! :-D Dirk has made up an FCHG spreadsheet and I intend on using it. Starting this next week, I'm going to send out battles to specific people to try to maximize our citations. Expect that tomorrow-ish. Rumor has it that Chris will be getting a new joystick Tuesday-ish compliments of Dirk. w00t!  Pilot Activity CM Kaneda Pellail (kaneda@isdchallenge.org) 04/07/2002 - Submitted TC-TIE 95 04/02/2002 - Submitted Nicknames/Mottos for BG Competition 04/02/2002 - Submitted parody banner for the RO April Fools Competition CM Chris McCollum (ministryisadeity@aol.com) none LCM Mike Keyman (keyman@isdchallenge.org) 04/04/2002 - Awarded ISM for activity last month CM Rover (eh_rover@lglobus.ru) 04/04/2002 - Awarded ISM for activity last month LCM Dirk Logan (scott@sparksracing.com) 04/06/2002 - Submitted Flight 3 Report 04/06/2002 - Submitted FCHG Spreadsheet 04/04/2002 - Awarded PC for activity last month LT Kane Hooper (pkhooper@bigpond.com) 04/04/2002 - Awarded ISM for activity last month LT Prost Varsis (thecrazynomad@yahoo.com) none (Studying for AP exams)    Current Tempest Roster TEMPEST SQUADRON OF WING X : Deep Strike COMMANDER: CM Kaneda Pellail (kaneda@isdchallenge.org) NICKNAME: Riders on the Storm BANNER: tempest.jpg MOTTO: "May the winds blow till they have waken'd death!" - Othello HOMEPAGE: http://www27.brinkster.com/tempest1 FLIGHT I - TIE DEFENDER Nickname: Cupid's Arrows Motto: "Mortuus ex Vento" -- "Death from the Wind" 1) CM Kaneda Pellail (kaneda@isdchallenge.org) 2) TBA 3) TBA 4) TBA FLIGHT II - TIE ADVANCED Nickname: "Katayoku no Tenshi" - The One Winged Angels Motto: We are the Plague of the Galaxy! 1) CM Chris McCollum (ministryisadeity@aol.com) 2) LCM Mike Keyman (keyman@isdchallenge.org) 3) CM Rover (eh_rover@lglobus.ru) 4) TBA FLIGHT III - MISSILE BOAT Nickname: The Imperial Monsoon Motto: "We'll blow you off your feet." 1) LCM Dirk Logan (scott@sparksracing.com) 2) LT Kane Hooper (pkhooper@bigpond.com) 3) LT Prost Varsis (thecrazynomad@yahoo.com) 4) TBA Total: 7 FCHG Listings | Combat Ratings | Squadron Reports (44) Squadron Citations (9):    TIE-TC Battle 1 - Capture of Zaarin    TIE-TC Battle 44 - Military Complex Operation    TIE-TC Battle 48 - "Ski Hoth" - Star Wars Mercenaries    TIE-TC Battle 92 - Deep Recon Into Tyrranian Space    TIE-TC Battle 133 - Punishment Tour    TIE-TC Battle 139 - Mugaari Insurgence    TIE-TC Battle 142 - New Republic Retaliation    TIE-TC Battle 160 - Battle of Insanity    TIE-TC Battle 165 - The Hunt for Zsinj    And now, your moment of Zen... This past week, a guy at work quit smoking. In honor of that, I've compiled a top ten list of things to help him stay off cigarettes... #10 - Bandaid brand nicotine patches... just remember that you'll have to take it off at some point. #9 - Candy cigs. They still give you a buzz, but sugar tends to be easier on the lungs. #8 - A Toblerone. Hey, if you're going to make Morris rich, you might as well just buy his chocolate. #7 - A bigger Toblerone... I've seen 'em up to 50 kg. That should take care of the munchies #6 - A TIE Fighter. With it's lack of an ash tray, it's the perfect place to stop smoking. #5 - A sprinkler system connected to the smoke detectors at home... don't even think of lighting up. :-P #4 - Girls (or boys as the case may be)... unless they smoke too.... then it gets harder to quit smoking. #3 - Open bar night in the cantina... who has time for smoking when you have Chalquila? :-D #2 - Stormtrooper helmet. Wear that into the bar and the temptation of second hand smoke will be a thing of the past (unfortunately, so will dating). and finally... #1 - GladeTM Nicotine plug-in... "Plug it in, plug it in!" Well, that's all the news that's fit to print and most of the news that isn't.
