Theta Squadron WSR #5
042145ZMAY14

A short report this week, largely due to an impending LoA on my part. Only 5 days have passed since the last WSR so levels of activity don't represent a full week, that being said I'm very pleased to note the bulk of the squadron remains in frequent communication - if only to abuse and heckle other squadrons and pilots! A few brief updates on awards - congratulations to Yoda on the IS-BW for his 3rd place in last months Ace of the TC SP. As the last few months killboards show the wider upward trend in fleet activity is closing the distance on the year's early leaders and makes the upcoming RTF 2014 competition an increasingly unpredictable affair. I have the feeling that it's going to be fiercely contested right up to the Warrior's glorious triumph!

MSE is currently under construction, once its sent I'll be generally absent for the bulk of the coming week due to some work commitments, back at the weekend, then off again for the bulk of the week. In my absence the role of fearsome overlord will be taken on by COL Kerrigan, the coals are being heated and the implements polished as we speak. I'm keen to see an increase in activity as we head for June and the RTF, as Lambda we earned a good name and I'm keen to see Theta own its share of the battle honours. No matter the scenario I want to see us leading from the front, be it a glorious conflict or a desperate rearguard.

Around 2.5 hours remaining in this weeks Op Thetan round, so a last chance to squeeze in any files or LoCs! Time waits for no man...

Operational Picture

...Not yet, not yet, right he's stepping onto the ramp... he's stopped, looks like he's changing his mind! No he's on the move again, out of sight, ramp coming up, and the shuttles lifting away... He's gone, Theta CMDR has left the building, start the party, uncork the booze and standby to partaaaayyyy! ...errr, good evening TCCOM sir, just running a... squadron team building exercise?…

CMDR's Corner

Enjoy my absence while it lasts, on my return we can look to start ramping up activity for June - most importantly we need to establish time zones and days where activity can be combined and figure out just what we can each do for the good of both ship and squadron.

Yours aye,
