Title: Squad Ops is teh bomb
Post by: Grits on April 02, 2005, 11:52:17 AM: Hey, just wanted to tell you guys that last night was my first try at Squad Ops, and I had a BLAST!

Thanks to the 325th Checkertails for inviting me, and to everyone else that helps put Squad Ops on.

Its easy to avoid, if you go directly to the arena with that map, there is no problem, but you cant go to any other arena and then enter that map. Its not a huge hassle if you know about it ahead of time, but if you dont know about it, it can be very confusing.

I saw that you are going to change the map, but as long as everyone knows not to come from another arena first, you can still use it.

If you want to have a few pilots fly as guests, i know that many squads have room.

If you want to fly with Shillelagh, let me know. We're Ruskies this month.

Great Stream, hope you can get em to join. I think we could add quite a few suqads from the MA if they just knew about Squad Ops. We pretty much grow by word of mouth only.

Grits it makes my day when guys like you post as you did.

Thanks!

Post by: DaddyAck on April 05, 2005, 11:44:09 AM: I flew all 3 frames for the last one (my first ever FSO) and I am HOOKED. I love it, well and who would not? Especially when the mission planners and all the leadership involved do a top notch job :aok

Post by: Grits on April 05, 2005, 12:02:10 PM: Its a nice change, because I'm genereally a "mindless furballer". It is really cool to do something completely different than I usually do. I found it hard to resist the urge to follow badguys to the deck, I had to keep telling myself "stay on mission....stay on mission". It was great fun.

And then two seconds later your formation got wiped out by a strange formation of aircraft lead by a guy with a black mask and respiratory problems? Or was that a different movie. Seems familiar.

:D
