Another week of good squadron activity - I was away for some of it but things went on without me with more flying taking place.
Both the SOO & Dean have rightfully been awarded the Silver Star of the Empire for their unending work during the latest (and greatest) TC reshuffle.
In-squad comms are still good and we have one transfer into the squadron pending, with another one possible. This would bring us up to full-strength and I cannot stress how important recruitment (of new recruits and existing RSV-members) is at this time. Wing I is only a few pilots away from needing to open a new Squadron and this must be a good thing for our future - the SOO has, for a limited time, sanctioned no less than the Gold Star of the Empire for any members that recruit at least three pilots back to active duty!
Recruit, fly and, above all, have fun...

In Closing:
Dug-out my old XWA disks this week & installed them with EHBL under Vista - all worked absolutely fine. Just feel I need to do the XWAI IWATS course to get back into it (not played it for, well, years!) before I add it to my list of beta-test platforms. It's easy to get bored just playing the same thing over and over, so if you're feeling a little 'jaded', dig-out the disks to your old flight-platform games, give them a dust-off and, you never know, it might renew your interest!
We've had some entries for mottoes and nicknames BUT need more, I will be keeping this open for a week longer, then the decision (& medal) will be given for the 'Squadron' entries as these are needed for the Web-site & Patch to take shape. Entries for mottoes/nicknames for Flights may be extended further if suitable ones are not been found. We still need ideas on our ships (although it's pretty-much been decided that Flight III will continue with the Missile Boat Mk.II, unless it's FL tells me otherwise...) - if no entries come-in for Flights I & II then I will decide (probability is, one should stay as T/D).
Our second FL-spot will be decided upon by the time WSR#3 comes around and will be announced within, so still time to put in that last-minute application...
See you back here again in a week. =)
Until next time...............
You are dismissed.
Respectfully submitted.
Captain RichyV. Commander of Epsilon Squadron.
