Starshina Bloomster leaves Kalach

Post by Merlin »

Comrades I am pleased to announce Starshina Bloomster has completed A/F4 and joins as wingman to Mladshiy Leytenant Moggy.

You have been assigned aircraft skin (5)24, points to remember:

- Don't shoot down Tom, some still think its a compulsory right of passage on completing OTU
- Be sure to have the right skin on for ops as the political officer is an unrelenting stickler for the rules, accumulate five Political Officer displeasure points and you will get shot.
- If you do anything exceptional make it a good one or they will never let you forget it

You have been assigned aircraft skin 524, points to remember:

- Don't shoot down Tom, some still think its a compulsory right of passage on completing OTU

Well done Bloomster it was never in doubt.
I am not sure if Merlin is trying to catch you out with skin number 524.
His last bullet should read
- If you do anything exceptionally stupid make it a good one they will never let you forget it . Thinks like involving trees, folding wings in mid-air on carrier ops, precision pairs landing from opposite ends of a runway

Well done Bloomster!

Other things to remember:

1. Don't shoot me down during ops.
2. Don't fire at me during ops.
3. Don't even fire anywhere near me during ops.
4. Shooting at anyone else apart from me is fine.
5. Survive your first op.

Never forget that you are an essential cog in the wheel, and if you break or fail it will let down your brother pilots, and the grimness of war allows for no such weakness.

I originally had it in brackets so I have put them back now, Jacko duly promoted to grammar queen in Swallows absence :D

If Swallow were about he'd have a field day on the various grammatical errors and missing punctuation in the above posts.
