Not so much about actual flying.
Of the 30 minutes of briefing time.
Approx. 5min's where used for actual briefing.
2,5 minutes into that I volunteered to lead a flight for the first time.
Time left to get shit sorted 180 seconds.
Of these 180 second's approx, 0 seconds where used for read-back of "mission" parameters. (only thing I managed was to give the flight a guideline takeoff weight at 45K)
Resulting in I'm guessing 10 minutes or more of two flights moving on target zone instead of one flight heading to tanker. (probably my bad)
Time wasted 10minutes x 7 peeps = 70 minutes prosecuting in target area.
Altho I really enjoyed seeing 7 hogs around the tanker.

Paul was having mic issues, and should have been presented with the option to fly with the non-aries group. would have allowed him some time to sort shit out and re-group / comm's at leisure. (this might have happened for all I know)
We all should have picked up on Paul's mic issue a bit earlier, as he was probably unawares.

Suggestion.
Standardise written briefs for pvp mission. (and maybe range)
Scenario A, Scenario B.
Simplistic, Tiger flight, does this, Lion that e.t.c.
Easy to use when no additional mission planning has been performed.
Better to deviate from something than go ad-hoc from nothing?
