  •   Commander's notes

    This week was a bad week. For two reasons. First, despite all my efforts I was utterly unable to win a single SC match. The wins reported in this report are from the week before! What the heck is going on here. Second, next week is the 200th anniversary of Delta's Weekly Trivia, and I have yet to figure out a memorable way to celebrate. Oh well, about 24 hours left I guess.

    On to other news. This week saw new arrivals, promotions, medals, and the promotion of Dunta Polo to the rank of General.

    On a squadron level, things are staying eerily quiet. We have 10 pilots, I see regular emails coming in from 4 of them (including myself), and some sporadic emails from two others. Pilot #6 earned himself a LoC, and the rest.... I haven't the faintest idea. No responses to my emails make this commander not happy. I will try again though!

    This week I returned to proper form as well after last week's fiasco in the Hammer on Patrol competition. With 3 wins for me and 2 2nd places for LCM Nylan, Delta onceagain storms the competition, with only the COM being able to grab a medal away from us.

    This week also saw the awarding of the August MSE medals. Although usually a joyous occasion, the fact we only managed to get 2 medals is not to my liking.

    Our newest addition, SL Smashhawk earned his first LoC of hopefully many, and has been promoted to full Lieutenant. An excellent start to your career!

    Last for this week: I will be completely out of touch starting the 22nd and will return (briefly) on the 25th only to disappear again until the 28th. I should be able to issue a report that Sunday, but as I will have no idea what happened that week, it might be a bit short :)

    I updated this after it was sent: it seems CPT Fenn's academic achievements never reached me. Kudos to him for completing mo less than SEVEN Academy courses last week!
     

      In the headlines this week

  • SOO still on LoA
  • Dunta Polo joins the generals club
  • Smashhawk promoted to LT!
     
  •   Joke of the week

    Delta squadron competitions

  • Delta's Weekly Trivia
    Each day of the week (Mon-Fri) you will receive an email with a trivia
    question, same as before. 3 pts for the first correct answer, 2 pts for
    second and 1 pt for 3rd. At the end of the week, the one with the
    most points wins the shiny. As usual, there's extra shinies available for
    accumulating set amounts of points.
