Welcome to our new agents reporting in. Just as a quick reminder in case you missed it, your first assignments will not likely be the most exciting, but here they are:

USA COM:
Airhog II, Anxiety II, Blade6119 IV, Klayman III
You guys will be seeing battle right away, but won't get the full press coverage that our EU COM and ASIA COM glory hounds get. Do well and you'll be shipped off for the big leagues over there, so keep you head up and your sights on the enemy!

SAM COM Guard Duty:
Aesyrqwe, Chuck U Farley, Psycho Cop II, Calis, Tucker II
Your duty will be to protect our valuable manufacturing facility at this base. It must not fall into enemy hands.

AFRICA COM Guard Duty:
Sachmo III, Katon II, Marmel II, Crash Davis, Mike Vic
This base is currently under construction, but don't worry, Sterling Ice tells me that they have stopped the swamp water from leaking in through the roof. This base isn't worth jack yet, but we've invested a lot of money in it, and we don't want it falling into enemy hands. Defend it with your lives!

And to fill you in on possible transfers...

USA COM agents will be transferred to EU COM or ASIA COM as openings arise (i.e. someone dies), based on agent number (low has priority) and acceptance of duty (reply in thread).

SAM COM agents will be transferred to USA COM automatically, based on agent number, when openings arise.

AFRICA COM agents will be transferred to SAM COM automatically, based on agent number, when openings arise.

For people that don't check in within 48 hours, I'll be bumping you all up the line and calling more replacements in, so if you're still on the waiting list, I'd say the chances are outstanding you'll can have a uniform within 48 hours. People in bold have reported for duty already. Regular type have not answered their phones yet.

For those of your unfamiliar with our bases, SAM COM is located under a verdant swamps in the jungles of northern Argentina, only 35 miles from the village of Los Blancos (video store opening in 2005!) and a mere 700 miles (about 17 days travel by swamp rider) from the wild nightlife of Beunos Aires! We've stuffed this base with all kinds of things to help you pass away the hours: a deck of cards (jokers included!), Chess Digest (June 2003 issue!), and a blazing fast Macintosh SE computer (software coming soon!) are sure to keep you entertained for hours and hours! Enjoy your stay! One of the nice things about this base is that the malaria risk is signficantly lower than that of...

...our AFRICA COM base, which is under a swamp in a jungle in western Zaire. This base is located 50 miles from the town of Bifale (pop. 59!) and a quick 1300 miles (about 23 days by elephant, camel, and rickety bus) from the nearest MacDonalds in Cairo, Egypt. Our AFRICA COM has all the amenities that you've come to expect at our X-COM bases: a working radio, Teletubbie videos (we'll try to get a tv/vcr down there soon!), and a checker board (with all pieces!). We're sure these things will keep you happy for days!

Be sure to enjoy your stay, and just remember, you guys have it good compared to the next guys that sign up. That's right, coming soon to an X-COM agency near you: ANT COM. That's Antarctica COM, for those of you wondering if it had anything to do with little insects.
