A complicated week - that's for sure! Merrily going about my business & doing no harm to anyone - during the week, Wednesday came, along with 7 (yes seven) Microsoft Windows updates - lovely! Halfway through an XWA Battle and a TIE one for the TAC office and a reboot finds my computer without any 3D rendering, weirdest thing, even 'Aero' stopped working!! Anywho, no amount of installing, reinstalling, uninstalling etc. made any difference, so I bit the bullet and installed Windows 7 RC and here I am - not 100% up and running, but nearing it. So, a little stressed from all the time I put into trying to fix my Vista partition, but have emerged relatively unscathed. =)
Squadron-wise we are still seeing flying & we've had a new member join us in the guise of fellow Fury-member LC Quincy Nelson! Also on the agenda this week has been our ship choices & we're still awaiting several of you to vote, so I'm having to hold-off from definitive choices but can't do so for long...
You'll notice that we do have a new Squadron motto & nickname, for which I must partially thank CPT Ard Royber for his efforts. We are still in-need of Flight-specific ones though, so have a think and send me some entries!
In-squad comms are very healthy and I've only not heard from 2 of you this week - please try to make sure next week doesn't pass you by though... =)
A resurrected IWATS course came on-line this week, XWAC is now available and I'm hoping to take it soon along with XWAI, as long as my PC decides to keep working, that is..!
Recruit, fly and, above all, have fun...

In Closing:
As mentioned above we're keeping-up with our comms very well and flight-activity is on-going, although this could be better I know of 2 pilots that are looking to 'up' their BSF-rate & that's great news as I'm sure we'll have some flying comps in the not-too-distant future!.
Our ships NEED TO BE CHOSEN, so if you've not yet voted for each of the 3 Flight's ships then I really need you to do so (I'm in need of at least another 2 pilots' votes), and SOON!
OK, well the last piece of news I will leave you with is that I will be away on RL holiday from 19th-27th September (inclusive) and, as squad XO, CM Dunta Polo will be taking temporary charge as Epsilon's aCMDR. I will be producing WSR#4 next Friday before I leave as there are things that will need to be reported by then, I'm sure... ;-)
So, slightly earlier/shorter report next week due to time-constraints.
Until next time...............
You are dismissed.
Respectfully submitted.
Captain RichyV. Commander of Epsilon Squadron.
