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.

i really dont think hed be that stupid. or i'd worry about what we're doing here

It would be unintentional if at all. It’d be my thing to work through, and that’s fine.

he's a grown man. he can take some responsibility

I don’t think he’d try to shirk responsibility for how it affected me, Cal.

then i dont know why it has to be your thing

Because acknowledging a failing and apologizing for it doesn’t mean it just goes away for me. But I also can’t hold on to it or punish him forever without becoming bitter and resentful.
