Python Squadron
Report #5

Squadron Report V
Sensate: "Greetings blood, fancy a good time?"
Shirley: "Sure, as long as it doesn't leave any visible scars
or permanent disfigurements."
Sensate: "I guess that rules out the kerosene then, doesn't it?"
Conversation between Shirley Hyujest,
a Jester, and an unnamed Sensate
Crazy, Isn’t it? :P
Yes, I’m back, welcome to yet another week in my Mad Reign!
We’ve had some changes and Comps this week, so let’s hope I include everything, or at least a sizeable amount of everything.
Well, let’s get into it, shall we?
NEWS.
I told you last week that Three Flight was looking close to getting a new Three Flight Leader? Well, the lucky individual ought to be announced very soon this week…….keep an eye out. :P
On to other news.
Hornet Squadron has a new Commander. Let’s all Congratulate MAJ Kennath Zoron to the Vanguard. MY sources tell me that he was once the CMDR of Mantis Squadron, so we know he’ll make the Vanguard Proud.
More Transferees, Welcome CM Sayo Hirosho, Scorpion’s new II Flight Leader. Have fun, stay away from my bar….:P
And, of course, we cannot forget COL Wil Stryker, Ex-COM of the Intrepid and returnee from the Reserves. He’ll be taking the position of Hornet Flight III Leader.
Welcome to the Wing, Wil!
In other news, the #Isdvanguard IRC channel has a new Ops System, which goes something like this……
Position OP Level
Owner 500
ASF BGCOM 499
VanCom 499
VanWC 450
VanCmdrs 250
ASF Flags 200
TC Flags 150
Van FL's 100
It basically means that more people get Ops, really….:P
Of course the catch is that anyone caught giving Ops to an Unauthorized person without High-Up consent will be stripped of *their* Op privileges. Power is to be used responsibly, people….:P

MORAL.
We’ll it’s official, this is an obsolete section, serving only to make my report look bigger.
True to my nature, I’m too lazy to bother finding a worthwhile picture to put up here, and the Moral Post on the Python MB has stopped churning them out, so either this section will be gone or transmuted into something else next week.
MISC.
The Python Battle Of the Week comp is almost over……or would be, if things had have gone right. As it stands, you all still have another week to fly those battles, so it’s time to get those submissions in, people. I’ve had a few recently, so If you don’t get in now, you’ll miss out….
Which reminds me, the Wing XV August Top Dog Comp is almost upon us.
You’ve probably read about it in Drax and Sicky’s reports, but I’m going to repeat it anyway.
Quote *Pilots accumulate points for almost everthing they do and the squadron with the most points at the end are declared the Vans Top Dog. Other than that it will be good for tons of medals in addition to monthly medals *
Squadron Positions!
Lenvik and Wharfin are both doing exceedingly well at their chosen positions, no word of late from Frankie. Anyone know anything about this?
Anyway, we still have need of an XO, anyone who hasn’t submitted a request for a Squadron Position (I.E. Most of you) should email me with submissions for this exalted position.

CM Ulath
Oh, just as a note, I’d like each of you, at least once every fortnight, to send me a list of your recent activities.
Not only will this help me formulate my WSRs, but it’ll probably go toward certain *other* opportunities for you, also….:P
