Firstly, let me apologise for no report last week. I have been working away again and we have also been waiting for some Squadron news and activity.

So, onto the report:

With the sad loss of CPT Ard Royber to the Reserves, and the decision of CM Dunta Polo to step-down from his FL position for the time-being due to RL pressures, we are without any FL's within the Squadron =(

This, though is not the full story, as I have approached two current pilots (one with previous FL experience, and one who will be new to the post) who have accepted my invitation to fill these roles on a provisional basis to see how they get on (I though, have full confidence in the abilities of them both....). Our only problem seems to be that there is a lack of Admiralty members around to officially approve the Position Promotions (I suspect LC Prower to have them both locked away in Gamma somewhere. Either that or they're lost in some drunken stupour!).

I'm sure though that all will be well again soon and our squad will have a full-compliment of Flight Leaders. Watch this space... =)

Sadly we also still seem to be without a TAC due to injury-leave, so my apologies if, like me and many others, you are awaiting a BSF to be manually processed. I'm sure normal service will be resumed as soon as she is well enough to return. Get well soon...

Oh, and on a side-note. It has been noticed by several of us that for a couple of weeks or so, the Science Office web-site has been down, so no downloading of patches held therein, sadly. If anyone knows the cause I'd be happy to hear it?

When you have time - Recruit, fly, think of a motto/nickname for your Flight, and, above all, have fun...

In Closing:

Another good month for Epsilon goes well rewarded.

I know we're all on a bit of a lull now due to the forthcoming holidays, no pressure for activity as pilots may take a well-earned rest, but remember there's still our 3 Competitions running and therefore medals to be won for probably very little effort!

Our Pilot of the Month Comp is being lead by CM Dunta Polo at this time with 25 points with LCM Halk Knight second on 5 points. Unfortunately, it seems that I will have to scrap the idea of 'double-points' for high-scores as there's no TAC around at the moment to verify these...

Our other 2 Competitions have no entries, so as I said, easy medals! =)

Just to let you know that I'm away from tomorrow (24th) until December 28th, so any pilot files or communications will have to wait until I return. Myself, I'm hoping to fly enough between the 28th and 31st to move into 7th place in the 2009 Pilot Kill Board and reach the FCHG rank of Legionnaire (I just hope that there's someone around to BSF my files..!).

Until next time, have a very happy and peaceful Holidays..........

You are dismissed.

Respectfully submitted.

Major RichyV. Commander of Epsilon Squadron.
