Tek stepped through the door of his quarters after his well deserved vacation. Flipping on the switch, Tek cringed at the room he had left clean and tidy. Scratch marks adorned the antique wooden desk, papers strewn about the floor, and bottles of NUN Beer in piles in the corners.
"Well, I'll just move into Vinny's office." Tek said, switching off the light.
[Squadron News]
1. Three commanders have left the wing recently. Best wishes go to Vin Doros, Bobxavi and Darkhawk! We hope to see you again soon.
2. I have returned from my prolonged leave of absence. This is the reason for the lateness of my report. The squadron looks to be in order, well except for my office.
3. The Phantom Trivia Competition ended with only one submission. More on this later.
4. It's MSE time again. Some will be very happy, others won't. But with still no OPS, when the medals will be awarded is anyone's guess.
5. Ric Gravant has left us to lead Ghost Squadron. Let's wish him our best in his new post!

Due to the lateness of this report and myself being too busy, activity will not be posted this report. Not like it would matter, because all I have to report is a huge list of XWA battles Tygra flew and some email contact with Nuno.
Phantom of the Week: Tygra, hands down. Since I have been away for two weeks, I will award the ISM now. Congratulations Tygra, you have certainly earned it!
[Cantina]
I don't really have time to do any of the usual stats this week, and I'm sorry for that. But, looking quickly at our citations, we are at 42! This is a gain of 20 since my last report. This jump is due to Tygra's hard work and Ric's departure, good work!

[Last Word]
I'll be the first to admit my activity the past few weeks has been sub-par. But I'm not hearing ANYTHING from most of you. I'd like some feedback. If you are under the same stressed circumstances due to school like me, at least email me and explain yourself, I will understand. I am very proud of some of your continual work and it will pay off. Until next week Friday...
