trax, goodluck with the Orders!
I'm guilty of late orders myself, by giving them out Friday Morning! I had to start working on them Thursday night and finished early Friday morning.
I did everything I could to get it done ASAP. I reviewed the plans over a few times to make sure everyone had a good chance of completing their goal.
I did get a tad tired before finalizing them and that caused me to make a mistake. It was a busy week for me so I had 4 hours of sleep each night with 12hour work shift and lots of pressure.
If you get tired, get some sleep and finish them up after you wake up or at lunch time. If you want, you could send a SQUAD-to-PLANE assignment as soon as you can. This way the squads can practice the bomber or fighter in advance. Then send the orders as soon as you can, at a later point. I've seen this done a few times these past FSO and I think they are a great idea.
Trax, good luck with your first CiC!
