Our founder and Commanding Officer, Digger, has promoted me to Commanding Officer of our squadron. Digger advised me via email that he has stepped aside as CO, mostly due to his recent inactivity. Digger stated he doesn't care for elite and doesn't find it fun to play, which is completely understandable.
Digger has created a great squadron based on solid principles, namely respect, fairness, and teamwork. In just over 2 years his vision and hard work has created one of the premier squadrons in the game. Speaking for myself, I can certainly understand that Digger is far too busy to invest time in something that doesn't amount to fun, and do not blame him for the decision to pass the baton to me.
We owe Digger our gratitude for creating this squad which we are fortunate to be a part of. His determination and effort has not only put us on the map, but forged what we are today.
I would like to personally thank Digger for his friendship and support along the way. Thanks to the squadron Digger created, dog fight has transformed from a video game to something much more, at least in my case.
Digger brought us to this point, which is nothing short of a successful and respected squadron. More importantly, I want to thank Digger for his friendship. He has been a role model and inspiration for me during my tenure in the squad.
I humbly accept Diggers promotion, and assume the title of Commanding Officer, Wolf Pack Squadron. I know I have some big shoes to fill and will do my best to move us forward with the same deadliness and class we are known for.
I salute you, Sir Digger, and wish you the traditional fair winds and following seas, my brother.
oooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooowwwwww
Now on to business:
DF1 is to remain as is in regards to our squad. Those who still play df1 can do so for as long as it is up and running in Wolf Pack Squadron. All squad officers will retain their current rank and status. Just fly and have fun.
Elite will see some changes. First off, Skeeter will be organizing and implementing a transfer of all active pilots in HGA to HGB. Digger will remain in HGA as the MORAF. If and when he returns, he will resume his spot at the head of HGA, and will have an avenue to do so. Everyone else will transfer into HGB. All rank and positions will remain intact, just in the reorganized squad. Skeeter will retain the title of OIC, HGA. In the future when we expand the job of MORAF and running the new wing will be his if he wants it.
Wolf Pack guidelines and code will remain unchanged. Our collective conduct and game play have earned us a solid reputation which I have no intention of sacrificing.
We are returning to the Wolf Pack idiom: "The strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf" All active wolves will be gathered in one den so to speak, and that will be HGB, or WOLF.PACK. I plan to retain the name "Hunting Group Bravo" to honor our history, and all the brother and sister wolves which we were lucky enough to count among our ranks as we grew to where we are today.
The consolidation should serve to increase activity in squad chat, and improve cohesiveness within our squad. No more will we be unable to chat with one another due to squad chat restraints.
For those recruiting, remember to instruct any and all new prospects to the proper squad: WOLF.PACK. Otherwise acceptance will be slow and ineffective.
As always, my door is always open for questions, comments, suggestions, or just to talk. Shoot me a pm anytime.
HGA folks, Skeeter will be your point of contact for moving from HGA to HGB. HGB officers, be sure to accept all our HGA folks and if you are unable to promote them properly just bring it to my attention and ill get them back where they belong.

ps. I had to write this speech twice as I somehow lost the first rendition prior to posting. The original was much better. This one comes off a little gruff but I feel I touched all the important points. Im not a gruff guy unless I have to be. Then LOOK OUT!
