Squads are built around their members, not their leadership. A good cohesive squad will instantly rally when a CO becomes unavailable and rebuild. It happened to the 80th once already and our old CO took the chance of returning to a completely different squad. Unfortunately for him, we are still a bunch of augering losers that don't take bases.

Suffice to say, the squad belongs to the members, not the man. More so when the man is vacant for a period of time. Twitchy, let the Pigs have the name and find new people to hang around with and rebuild. You obviously have the experience to recreate a large independently functional squadron, use the experience to improve on your previous design.

Great point Del!!!

As CO of a squad I can agree completely with your points.

You can make an argument for both sides.  I think it's a given that the members make a squad.  It isn't the squad name that is important but that the members enjoy flying with each other.  Twitchy created "Pigs on the Wing" though, the name is his creation.  I don't really know what the solution is tbh, but I see both sides of it.

Here's my take on it...

An Early Translation:
Pigs travel in a HERD, they eat until not is left but mud and their excrement, and then they move on to eat again, their oinks eching on the text buffers beneath them. It is the only way a Pig can be, for he is a Pig and naught else seems right to him but the bloody bishrook mud he leaves behind and the other Pigs around him. If you're not flying with us, you are that mud.

I agree with this.  When my squad lost its founder to real life issues, we reformed as necessary under another senior member.  While our CO's departure was on good terms, if it hadn't been I think it would have been wholly appropriate to reform the squad under the name we had.

I agree with Del. POTW matured while twich was gone. He should simply start a new squad instead of trying to destroy another.

The 80th reformed under a umm a junior member (he's 16 I think).  :D

He is excellent at augering and he knows how to flip over trees.... pretty much a born leader of our type.
