First off, a mighty big congrats go out to a whole bunch of people, starting with LT Landon Cruise who was promoted to Lieutenant Commander earlier this week. Excellent work, sir!
Next, we have COL Elwood the Brave who was promoted to Rear Admiral as he took command of the ISDII Hammer as the first Commodore the TC has seen in ages. Although very quickly followed by High Admiral Frodo March who finally decided to l;eave the M/FRG Phoenix behind and take command of our second Star Destroyer, the ISDII Warrior. I hope I'm at least partly guilty - Warrior was my suggestion back when the TCCOM sent out an e-mail for suggestions which ISD to open up.

That leads us to one of the biggest events in my time in the TC - the actual opening of a new ISD instead of the usual closing of one. I hope to see more of these!

In other news, Our new COM has issued a flying competition based on weekly assigned free missions and I'm glad to report I got 2 wins out of 3 this week, plus a second place. Let's see if I can de better and get a perfect score next week! I urge you all to fly the missions, or at least one of them, as well. Not only because it increases your own chances of success and medals (enough participants means more medals to be won), but also because it increases mine (hey, you know how long it's been I got a chance to win a medal? :) Read the COM's report (e-mail or on the site) for more info!

The Where Were You Last Night competition has finished. I haven't had time yet to make a decision, so that will wait until next week. Although I have to admit I had expected more than 3 submissions. Maybe next time...

As far as learning goes - I have learned this week that my pilots are not very well versed in modern cinema of the horror variety. One pilot who shall rename unnamed even managed to get every single question wrong. And it wasn't even obscure movies I was going for - that will be the objective next time :) In the mean time - congrats to LC Nelson who managed to get the most out of this week and regulary Star Wars based trivia will resume on Monday!

Lastly this week - there's a lot of competitions out there this week that don't require flying. So if you can't fly or don't have the time, see about participating in those! There's motto competitions, graphic design stuff, bughunts
