Squadron News
-Well, the exam was exhausting and I think I performed well. I'm proposing that professors who make exams first written and if you pass you get to give oral exam get impaled.
-Congratulations go to CM Jan Wemmel who will transfer to the elite Praetorian Squadron for a tour of duty!! We are proud you will take Kappa's name and show it to the rest of the fleet! See ya round, my friend, may the Keg be with ya! And come back in one piece! :p
-Interesting medal shower for Kappa this (little more than a) week :p 1 LoA, 1 IS-SR, 2 IS-BW, 2 IS-BR, and 1 MoT-BH. The amount of metal on the Kappa quarters will soon be enough to make us a new MIS :p
-LCM Tim's site got 3rd place overall on the Sov Site comp!! well done Timmy, and great news are that Proton is using parts from all the sites for the final new Sov site.
-Yes, my computer got hit by lightning ;p Wondered what else could happen to it? Here ya have it. Luckily, the modem got half fried and I can use it normally. but if I'm not on Internet and the phone line is on, my telephone goes dead. The wonders of technology :p
-Luckily, CM Hawkins got to fix his mail problems and he's back in action!! Welcome back H!
-Head over to Algaron's new project, the first full EH novel and get anxious for the next chapter http://www21.brinkster.com/algaronx/rising/
-Wing II is now in RED ALERT!!! Our number are dropping steadily and fast, we need new pilots BADLY!! Bring over any possible candidate you find, offer help to cadets (not spamming them) or blackmail them. Anything, but let's get Wing II full!!!
-This week's Ol' Roasty's word o' advice: "Thunderstorm=get off downloading shareware crap and unplug the damn computer" :p

-TIE Corps Battlegroups Commander selected
I've finally made my decision on the new BGCOM...many congratulations to Vice Admiral Mell! Mell is a veteran of the Battlegroups and has all the command experience and skills I would require of any BGCOM.
