-Theta Invitational: It looks like the squadrons from Wing 2 are still hanging in there but then again nearly half of the participants are from Wing 2.
Next round is to fly TIEFREE-208
Sigma v Kappa
Yod v Tempest/Inferno
-Operation Outrageous Fortune Wargame: Battle still going on this week. I'll update you on final results of the battle but for those who flew the TIE and XvT mission for points determiner, thanks!
XWA Flight Night: This is definately going to have to be put on hold. I'm stacked with midterms this week and I have to memorize over 20+ criminal justice cases. Sorry, but I may have to restart this in the summer.
New Recruits:
I received an email from MAJ Argon Viper from Wing I to join his old Wing VI mates who are currently in Rho Squadron. He'll be joining us shortly. Keep up the good work of getting the old veterans, Rho.
Also, Rho had to let someone go this week as LT Jacalo Solan is AWOLd
Wing2 Site: Site has been updated http://wingii.tiecorps.net
Misc: The fleet now allows flight members to be promoted to the rank of commander! Those of you who have been flight members with the rank of LCM for nearly 6 years (heh not sure if that's any of you) can now look forward to a possible promotion of commander. Hopefully an incentive for some of you to start new activity or continue.
