I was going to wait till his 175th and his
'Brillianten' to make a shout out for Honcho, but as you are enjoying recognising your mates, Herr Bino...please do carry on, by all means.
Honcho is just a silent killa... and one half of my big one/two punch as a kommander. His uglier half is poised to set another first within the Squad this month as well.
For me as a CO, these 'milestone' threads represent one thing more than any other, and that is that I have certainly been blessed with a group of talented, dedicated, committed players, who are, and have been here...for the long haul. I am sure most of you recognise the absolute priceless payoffs of having a long tenured bunch of guys...and not just in performance, but as much or more so...in the sheer enjoyment factor that comes from playing this game with the same guys over an extended period of time. And Honcho is certainly no exception to this, and he has contributed greatly to all of the above for me, and for his mates, and the whole of the FSO community.
They don't come any finer.
