From: CAPT Robert Shea (S-1) To: Aircraft Commanders of the: The Butcher's Daughter Keltos Invadin' Maiden medic1 Next Objective ChefEd Subj: Spare Crew Return 1. A reminder that Butcher's Daughter Keltos and Invadin' Maiden medic1 both have personnel checked-out from the Spare Pool who are due to return at the end of Mission: 019. Next Objective ChefEd still has a Bombardier who was scheduled to return to the pool after Mission 18. 2. I recognize this is an administrative drill, and that you would rather be flying than filling-out forms; however, accurate tracking allows optimization of the war effort, and I appreciate your assistance in this regard. Sincerely, Robert Shea CAPT, (S-1) |

To: CAPT Robert Shea (S-1)
My apologies for my tardiness in filing the required forms to return 2nd Lt Weston to the spare pool.
Mission #: 15-19
Bomber the crewman was assigned to: Invadin' Maiden
Crewman's Position: Copilot
Temporary Crew Member Name and Rank: 2nd Lt Thomas "Tommy" Weston
Crewman status: Returned to pool
How many missions flown/credited: 5
Any kills credited (including partial): 0

2nd Lt Weston acquitted himself with distinction, performing his duties flawlessly, and I consider him an asset to any crew that he may serve on in the future.
1st Lt Franklin Marks, Pilot Commanding, Invadin' Maiden, 79th BS, 509 BG, 15th AF
(Somehow, I had failed to add the crewman to my AARs and played the missions with the original copilot all of this time, forgetting that I had a spare pool crewman assigned. Thanks for the kick in the pants and the reminder  )
