  Now, Word Down The Pipe Is They Are Going To Try To Spoil The Raven's 3rd Anniversary Celebration(HA! Fat chance!)
  There Will Be A Large CAP On Saturday Night: The Spartans, Tigers,And Hammers;We Will Be Skids Up Saturday Night At  2200 Hrs,  Anything Can Happen, So Have Your Spurs On, And Your Heads On The swivel!!!

That is all, each squadron's briefing will continue, Good Hunting Ravens!!!!

Col Leonidas,CAG

"Attention Tiger's Attention"

OK, you heard the CAG. The Cylons will stop at nothing to destroy the Raven and the Fleet. Our squadron is up for CAP. This will be a squadron CAP not just one flight. We are acting as a decoy, it's our specialty to stick our necks out for our crew mates. We will be flying with standard ordinance. The whole Raven Airwing will be in the launch tubes and waiting in line to launch on a moments notice. They will be armed to the "TEETH" with everything they can carry including Nukes.

As the CAG put it, anything can and possibly will happen out there. We hit the Chrome Headed Tin Men hard last time and they're out for BLOOD any way they can get it.

Our squadron will form up into our Finger Four Formation and destroy anything we encounter!!!! Any Questions?

OK we'll launch from the port tubes in 15 minutes,

Good Hunting!!!!!

SO SAY WE ALL! ! ! ! !
