{{SALUTE}}

Uther gazed at the two officers before him. Both had formidable reputations that they had begun to demonstrate once again.

'Colonel Corrin, your actions against the enemy are noted: the Tactical Officer send her thanks. Commander Jade - your record is well known to me: continue the good work you've begun.'

'Dismissed.'

SHIP-WIDE 1. Green CMDR is filled; thanks to the officers who applied. 2.

Poll: what ship are we on? http://eh.stryfe.net/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=783 <-- what ship class is it? Can you persuade the TCCOM to make a change?

ACTIVITY A lot of communication this weeks, by e-mail, IRC & MBs, which is good. A reminder, however: while robust discussion and banter are allowable and tolerated, laying into other officers is - shall we say - less advisable. (A comment that applies to those of both senior & junior rank.) In addition, and more positively, I've had some submissions for the Wing competitions: thank you; more will turn it into a competition, otherwise they'll win by a walkover.

REPORTS Green Squadron (CM Talon Jade): Received - thank you, commander Blue Squadron (CPT Myn Donos): Not Received - I'll expect one this week.

Timetable (subject to the will of the TCCOM): I intend to release a report every Friday; I will expect a report from each CMDR by Thursday night (GMT); for you to get a mention in your CMDR's report, you need to make contact before they write their report!

PILOT OF THE WEEK: will be re-instituted next week, based on CMDRs' reports.

FINAL THOUGHTS An interesting week, with more activity: keep it up. We need to be in good shape for the TCCOM's next fleet wargame.

The issue of the ship (MC80 (+/-B) vs MC90 vs MC 120) is one I'd like to see settled constructively; I understand the strength of feeling here: give me something with which I can persuade the TCCOM, if you do have a strong preference.

If you have any comments to make (constructive or other wise), I'll hear 'em: just let me know.

In service,

Sir Uther ap Custennin, Last Knight of the Renegade
