XO's Thoughts:
Well everyone, as of yesterday sometime, LCM Drake Jensen was promoted to the rank of Commander and Squadron Commander to replace me. I welcome him in, and for the new guys, this is a top-notch pilot who will fill my boots more than well enough. As this is his first week, and the fact that I received all the activity messages up till now, I've put together a "semi" normal report, mostly the Activity and FCHG/CR listings are what I've done and Drake'll have everything else somewhere in his report. (I have incorporated Zoron's report into this one)
