Right, you heard the man.
We've got a little over three weeks before we have to take down an unknown envoy in new conditions.
So while Engineering are doing what they can to help outfit our birds, and the Captains are searching for ways to increase the fleet, we Pilots need to be working our arses off.

Squadron 1, while dear old Philip is occupied I'll be stepping in as drill sergeant. Two hours extra gym time for each session. A focus on Squats, Deadlifts, Planks, and general AGSM and HIIT training. New neck resistance training exercises to see us through High-G Turns. And the return of my beloved flashcards, each one containing a potential emergency situation to see if you know the best way to get out of it.
And if you're very good, we'll unwind with some darts for the sake of hand-eye coordination.

Squadrons 2, 3, and 4, I'm not the boss of you, but if you want to join us, the more the merrier. You haven't lived until you've trained until you're throwing up.

Non-Pilots... shoot, share any health and fitness techniques you swear by. Or share potential punishments we can inflict on whoever wimps out on training.

I Think We’re Alone Now by Tiffany, and yes.

What's your favorite lyric from it?

I think we’re alone now; the beating of our hearts is the only sound.

The instrumentals and beat do a lot of the heavy lifting.

I think I know the song, I think she'll like it

It’s from the 80s, which means it’s fantastic. I have most of Selena’s catalog, too, if you’re familiar and need other suggestions.

Up to her what else she wants but maybe she'll be inspired by the one song

Have you picked a song yet?

This is a very thoughtful gift. I hope she loves it.

I'm sure she'll love the iPod even if she doesn't love the playlist

I'm tossing up between some Blink 182, Yellowcard or Good Charlotte. I don't want to get too sentimental by trying to pick a song with a message so I'm just going with what I liked around then

My Walkman met a horrible end when I was little; its replacement was the best day of my life up until that point.

I don’t think I’m really familiar with the second. Are they all rock music?

What happened to it?

Pop punk I think. You never heard their cover of everywhere? It's not their biggest but I always liked it best

My Mamá was friends with a woman down the road who had a son about my age. We’d gone to the beach and he asked to borrow it, and since I was going into the water, I said he could, but he got distracted when some other friends came and left it in the sand and it was buried. We never found it, and it had my Cheetah Girls CD in it.

No, I don’t think so. If I heard it, I’d remember.

I thought it was gonna end up in the water but this is just as bad

I have it on a drive if you wanna do a swap while I'm getting your song for Terra

I almost said Ocean Avenue!

You should put that on the not-playlist because everyone should have Ocean Avenue

THIS is a good choice!

The older the better, honestly.

And the bigger the hair, sort of.

I also like Total Eclipse of the Heart!

I’m pretty sure we had that on a CD. My Tia Rosie loved that Limewire program that infected every computer.

I always had good luck with that but I did break my computer downloading Sims custom content!

Well, you can’t have everything. The computer couldn’t keep up.

What was your favorite build?

It tried its hardest though!

I wasn't very good at it... I liked making my Sims kiss each other though.

I’m sure it did.

It’s a virtual dollhouse, so that makes sense.

I liked making clothes for them too! But I wasn't very good at that either. Did you build houses in there?

I wasn’t good at building, either. I would use the money cheat to buy a house and then change the walls and decorations.

I liked developing their skills. Making them play the piano or the use the easel for art.

I liked doing that too but sometimes I was like hahaha I could be learning how to paint or play the piano for real right now!
