Title: 353rd Oaktree's Summary
Post by: black on May 12, 2013, 10:26:13 PM
I asked my XO to post this not as a bragging how great 353rd is, but to show what a small squad (5-8) can do. From time and again I have seen posts by somebody not enjoying how they are or their squad was assigned with bad ride(s), horrible mission or not getting far fights against overwhelming numbers. Well, personally 353rd will tell you different. We do have our far share of bad rides, missions that are against us and face overwhelming numbers. We have some frames where we were taken out quickly with not much to show. Despite what the assignment is, we still follow through and do our best.

With great leadership (lol), planning, and good sticks 353rd have set new boundaries this year. In the last five frames (Operation Typhoon Frame 1 to Battle of the Coral Sea - Frame 2) a member of the squad or the squad itself have place on one of the top performance in objective destroy or air Kills. Never in the course of 353rd history in FSO have we reach this level of excellence. On top of that, a member of the squad or the squad itself have place on one of the top performance in objective destroy or air Kills in four other frames this year.

Follow what I say with some examples, I am showing that you do not need to be in a big squad or have most members that are great stick just to be notice or be assigned to better rides. I try hard to communicate with other squads ahead of time and work with them so we all will reach the objective. This includes emailing the squads assigned with us discussing/suggesting routes, altitude etc. During missions most of you see me on text posting where 353rd location, enemy contacts and so forth. This why I believe we have done well in most events because we work together as a squad and work with other squads. Some squads do not play that way and have a different way where they do so well and that is great. However, if your squad is not faring so well, take a look at 353rd on what we have been doing. Communicating with other squads in your group works wonders not only for your squad but the assigned frame objective too.

Well done, guys. With dedication and enthusiasm like that you won't remain a small squadron for long. Word gets out, people notice you're dependable in FSOs, and you'll see your numbers begin to grow rather quickly, I believe. Congrat's. BTW, I took a peek at your web site: very nicely done there, also. :salute

you guys are doing so much better since you got rid of me and started dry cleaning your sheep!  :D

honestly, the 353rd is a great bunch of fun, hard working people. they are fun to fly with, and try very hard to complete their mission and fly with integrity!  take example from them if you can.

<S> to the 353rd, from JG54!

 i will correct one thing you said though. there is no such thing as a "bad" ride. anything can be fun to fly in the cartoon skies. you just need to positive outlook on it that you're showing.

Communication and cooperation has always been one of the key ingredients to sucess in FSO no matter what size your squadron is.  Congratulations on your discovery of it and its implementation.  :aok
