Pilots of Epsilon.
Hoorah! TIE Golf has officially ended and the Results have been released. Take a look @ the final Standings.
You will see that the overall winner was my Golfing partner & our very own SOO, HA Frodo March - Congratulations go to him on his award of BOTH the IS-PW & IS-GW.
In fact congrats to all who won medals, which include our Flight III FL, LCM Halk Knight who was decorated with no less than 6 IS-BW's, well done!! (I didn't fair too badly either, especially as I was paired against the overall winner..!).
On a sadder note, I am sure that over the past several weeks it has been obvious to many of you that Epsilon Squadron has suffered from a lack of impetus. I know that some of you have reported your own RL issues, but mostly I have to take responsibility for this.
My own RL has pretty much owned all of my attention recently & I have just barely managed the minimum of processing Pilot Files and very little else. This cannot continue and things have to change.
This is also complicated somewhat by my computer situation. Thus-far I have been evaluating Windows 7 RC on my outgoing PC. This has only just over a week left to run before it starts shutting itself down. I have a full license, but am keeping this for my new-build, which is sadly somewhat behind schedule (with mobo & CPU yet to buy...).
As neither of these situations are within a month or so of full resolution, I have left myself with no choice but to take the sad decision that I should move to the Reserves until further notice.
I have been in contact with the TCCOM/SOO about this and, after some discussion, the matter of my move to the Reserves has been deemed "not ideal" (to which I have to agree...) but is one borne out of necessity.
I'll be doing my best to continue for this last week...
When you have time - Recruit, fly, think of a motto/nickname for your Flight, and, above all, have fun...

In Closing:
Again, we've had some good flying this week - by CPT Polo, who else? ;) , along with yet another good medal-haul. Comms though are still down with several members having ongoing RL issues to take care of.
I know that my decision to step down may well be seen as a bit of a shock but I have been thinking on this for some little while and had wanted to raise it earlier, a bout of the flu prevented me from bracing the subject with the Admiralty before now.
My plan is to stay around until the end of the month, when I am going away for a short 'birthday break' anyway and then be moved across to the Reserves (I will then be able to produce WSR #21 next weekend AND the February MSE before I leave).
If you see me 'drop-off' the Roster before then, though, I'll do my best to pass-on my reports to whomever succeeds me.
For now though, let's just keep doing what we're doing, as I'd like to enter a positive WSR as my final action as CMDR of Epsilon next week...
Until then......
You are dismissed.
Respectfully submitted.
Major RichyV. Commander of Epsilon Squadron.
