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 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.

[finotti]

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

[adequacies]

Have you picked a song yet?

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

[finotti]

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?

[finotti]

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.

[finotti]

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

[adequacies]

Wanda is the earth’s now. Or has been, I suppose.

I’d like that, thank you.

[finotti]

Someone probably found her with a metal detector one day

Welcome. Thanks for contributing a song

[backdrive]

I almost said Ocean Avenue!

[finotti]

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