    The time for celebrations has arrived! This week we celebrated the 200th anniversary of the weekly trivia, and I sure hope y'all enjoyed the celebrations in trivia this week! Also, this is report #99 meaning the next one is the big 100! We also celebrate the return of Dunta Polo to the HoP competition, even if it means he swiped a medal from me. It's been awhile since I finished in 3rd place. Let's bnot make a habit of it shall we! And even bigger than that, we have another promotion to celebrate within this squadron, as LT Simomime's promotion to Lieutenant Commander was approved this week! Grats to you too!

    I do need to come up with harder stuff though - all submitted trivia answers were correct!. The only glitch that twice someone came up with the wrong word: day 1 was Lando (not Dolan), and day 5 was Artoo (not Toora). In the end, it was a tie on points (71 points for both MAJ Clark and LCM Nylan) but since LCM Nylan had all 5 words correct, he wins. Grats to you!

    With the arrival of SL Darth Kitten we are nearly full, with the only open place in the squadron being the Flight III Flight Leader. I'm working on that one.

    More good news this week as Kappa finally has a commander again. Grats to you, CM Drake Starfire. And if you're paying attention - that means there's only 12 empty slots left on the roster, and we all know what that means!

    I have submitted a competition to celebrate my 100th week as commander of this illustrious squadron. Unfortunately, since I am completely without internet access next week, the competition will have to wait until I return, and so report #100 will kick off the competition instead of end it. To those of you flying missions and stuff: forward everything directly to COM Woody. Once again, I have found MAJ Clark willing to run the trivia for next week.

    I've been rather busy this week so I might have missed something else, especially with that mail bomb hitting my inbox this week. Seems someone is planning on starting a TC marching band, even if he didn't say so out loud!

    News from the Logistics Office as well, as they attempt to revive the message boards. It'll be interesting to see what they have planned!
