For the first re-use of Yellow Squadron's original X.O.'s number, we have another experienced and respected applicant, lately from Lancer Squadron.

Everyone please welcome Lieutenant Cates (Greywolf) to Yellow Squadron and Cobalt Flight!

A double veteran (served in USA and USCG), Greywolf has been around as long as any of us, I believe, and is a solid and respected member of ACS. A legacy player, I'm sure that he'll be burning up the challenges and comps real soon.

Lieutenant? On behalf of the 156th Tactical Fighter Wing and Yellow Squadron, we bid you welcome.

For the rest of you? I'm still the Old Man around here, k? :laugh:

I'm glad to be aboard sir, mates (using some of my CG maritime lingo). So where do I park my F2 for the new paint scheme?

As the CO pointed I've been in the ACS community for a while. I'm not as a prolific poster on the forum and I actually went totally silent for about six months, but I'm an avid Ace Combat fan and I always come back. I signed up on the ACS predecessor ACnet just before the release of AC5. I remember the formation of Yellow Squadron, and if recall correctly it was right after the formation of Sins-and-Saints and the now defunct Hell-Cats, making it now the second oldest squadron in ACS. Back then I signed up for the Eagle Squadron which eventually became Blue Squadron, so in a vague manner of speaking, I've come home. Long overdue.

Looking forward to getting my feet on the ground and my wings in the air here.

Lt. Cates "Greywolf", Blue 11

Well, Greywolf, settle in, look around (I think you'll note the extra sub-forums opened up for you as a full member) and ask all the questions you like.

We try to operate via the CoC (Chain of Command), but, as small as we are right now, just ask one of the long-timers. :laugh:

Take some time and see if there's something you'd like to do that would also benefit the Wing as a whole. Like G.G. working on a website for us, or running Legacy challenges against other squads.....I'm sure there may be a former squadmate that you'd like to humiliate in a legacy challenge, eh?

Or maybe not, and that's cool....we try to take things in stride, though I have to admit to a few long-term grudges I have simmering, yet. :laugh:

Post (to topic) as you will, create new topics, if you think they'll interest us.....we've tried to give a lot of different areas, but your post count means nothing here, so post as little or as much as you'd like. You'll also note, I have no doubt, that the tenor of our posts is, for the most part, sober and mature, but we try to come up with a little humor, every once in awhile......that's why there's a specific topic for it. (hint, hint)

I'm sure you'll do fine.....we don't expect you to win tourneys overnight. Just show up and hopefully be able to contribute to discussions.....and I won't jump your butt if you want to chime in on something that ran down years ago, if it's germane. Different viewpoints are available and discussed, but, at the end of the day, I make the decisions, if decisions are to be made. You'll catch on quick. ;)

Enjoy yourself. I can say that, cause I trust our members are not gonna act like stoopid n00bs, like some we can find on ACS.

Greywolf, your presence here is long overdue!. Im so glad you've made the decision to join us. :nana4: I'm sure you will add to the legacy of the number you have. :) For the record, Greywolf's birthday is 4 months prior to mine so I'm still the youngster of the old geezers! :laugh:

Welcome!

I'm one of the "new" guys here, and I was a former Lancer myself. Maybe I saw you(or atleast your posts) in the Lancers, but I can't remember them...

And now, let's make an welcoming party for him!

Thanks for the warm welcome from long time friends such as Janet and Green Giant, and newly aquainted friends such as Poker. I do recall seeing you in the Lancers as "Poker Pop". We didn't interact. When I was with the Lancers I tried to revive my old Hell Cat Flight of Ground Pounders called the "RoughRiders" which had a great start and then fizzled out.

Anyway it's great to be here now.
