<p>It wasn't long before I was offered my own squadron. I could chose any the Raven had to offer. The moment I laid my eyes on the Flying Tigers I knew that was the squadron for me.</p>
<p>Fast forward to today and I'm now in the CAG position which is something I never thought I would do. As Colonel Leonidas put it, it's been a bumpy road but it was filled with enjoyment and meeting new people and gaining many new friends along the way.</p>
<p>I congratulate you on your first Command Colonel Leonidas. May the Trireme and her brave crew know mighty victories as she serves and fights along side the Battlestar Raven.</p>
<p>GOOD HUNTING!!!</p>
<p>SO SAY WE ALL!!!!!</p>

<p>People of the Fleet,</p>
<p>I Am Truly Honored,and Privileged to Serve in The Colonial Fleet; When I joined 3 1/2 Years Ago, I felt This would be A Good Place for My Ideas and Imagination;When I was Recruited to the Raven By Dragonlady,I Knew There were People of Quality Here; When She Asked me to Help Build the Raven Air Wing,I Said:</p>
<p> "I'll Take the Job,Until I Get Killed,Or you find Someone Better"</p>

<p>People of the Fleet,</p>
<p>I Am Truly Honored,and Privileged to Serve in The Colonial Fleet; When I joined 3 1/2 Years Ago, I felt This would be A Good Place for My Ideas and Imagination;When I was Recruited to the Raven By Dragonlady,I Knew There were People of Quality Here; When She Asked me to Help Build the Raven Air Wing,I Said:</p>
<p> "I'll Take the Job,Until I Get Killed,Or you find Someone Better"</p>
<p>Building the Raven Air Wing,The Finest in the BFC Fleet,Was a steady Process; Yes, Filled with Bumps and Curves and Surprises; But, It got done by Seeking out Like-Minded People who Not only have Imagination, But Enthusiasm as Well; Our Viper and Raptor Squadrons Have gone out and Destroyed Many Cylon Base Ships,Stations,Ground Facilities,Support Systems,Along with Legions of Raiders, Turkeys,and Centurions on the Ground.</p>
<p>However, Giving Credit Where Credit is Due, An Air Wing is Nothing Without the Mother Vessel,The Flagship,The Battlestar Raven; The Officers and Crew of the Fleet Flagship Deserve Credit for Keeping the Raven's Guns, Missiles,FTL, Sublights,and Flight Decks in Checkers Green Condition; Otherwise the Raven would just be A Hunk of Metal,and A Easy Target for the Cylons; This is A Lesson I Take with Me to My New Assignment.</p>
<p>Not one to Rest on My Laurels,I Now Realize that the REAL Work Begins; Managing The Day to Day Operations Will be No Easy Task; However, I Have Chosen To Embrace this Change;And, I Have Every Intention to See that It Becomes A Success.</p>
<p>My Mandate will be to Have the Raven's Back;And that's Exactly What I Intend to Do with My Guns Missiles,Nukes,and Marines; We will be 'Little Brother' to Our Older Sister;If the Cylons,or anyone else, want to give Big Sister A Hard Time, I Am Simply To Come up to Whomever and Punch them Dead in the Mouth!</p>
<p>In the Process,We will be scrapping Scores More Toasters,And Having Fun Doing it!</p>
<p> SO SAY WE ALL !</p>
