Thank you to the Squadron Leaders for putting last weekend's exercise together. I can only speak for myself, but getting tossed into the deep end like that was both terrifying and exhilarating. I ain't ever been that close to a volcano before, and seeing one up close and personal was ~~super cool~~ thrilling. So glad y'all are the type of leaders wiling to give us challenges that makes us better pilots instead of just busier ones.

[...] And congratulations to Strike Group Alpha as well. You all managed to hold together under real pressure. That says a lot about the team~~, regardless of who happened to be in the lead~~ ~~despite A~~. Well flown. :)

SQUADRON LEADERS.

I totally understand the rationale behind putting the newest recruits in the squad leader seats, and I think it was a real good exercise for Sloane to show what she can do. Apollo [...] was also there, doing his thing! I did want to ask, though. If we run something like this again, would there be an opportunity for me to prove my mettle as a leader as well? If not, that's alright. I trust your judgment on these things!

FRIENDS OF FOX. [ if it feels right to you, go for it! ]

Some of y'all might've noticed we've got a new face on the Mnemo! Bear Bradshaw. Seeing as most of you can put two and two together, it probably won't come as much of a surprise when I say he's my brother. I'm just as surprised as the rest of you!!! I thought he was still veiled back on the AC compound, but here we are!

He doesn't remember me, which is so~~ooo~~ okay. Really. I'm sure everything will work out just great in the end. But if you've been thinking, hey, that guy kinda looks like Fox if he were super jacked and didn't have a mustache — now you know! Ha ha.

Mav, be nice.

Do you need anything, Fox? It has to be all kinds of weird.

i'm being concerned, scuse you.

I know, but it comes off a bit harsh.

sorry. i don't have any siblings so i can't even imagine.

Neither do I. It's gotta be rough, so if you need anything at all, Fox, let us know.

There is one thing you could do for me...

Oh yeah?

Stop playing coy with Az.

Coy? Who's playing coy? I'm not!

I wasn't born yesterday.

All I did was comment on the swear jar!

Yeah, right. More like the smooch jar. For smooching.

Pretty sure there's no room in his jar for me.

Now, on one hand, you could say that Az is somebody who isn't really one for turning his metaphorical porch light off. On the other hand, respectfully, what the hell else are we supposed to do up here? All we can do is train, fly, and fuck.
