Right pilots, lots of news to get through this week!

Firstly, the sad news that LC Kenath Zoron has had to move to the Reserves due to RL pressing too much on his time. We're sorry to see him go, but hope when he gets more leisure time he will be able to rejoin us once more.

Secondly, we have a replacement! Please join me in welcoming LCM Halk Knight as FM/3-2. He has already sent in some entries for RtF 2009 and I will be working to help get his ID line sorted out medal-wise.

Speaking of RtF, we've had a few flying entries already and several more to come, do what you can and keep up the good work!

Congratulations must go to CM Dunta Polo who, because of LC Zoron's transfer, has become our highest ranking FCHG pilot. He also passed the 1000-point mark for the year and is still on-course for an IS-PW in the 2009 Ace of the TIE Corps. I'm sure we're all rooting for him as he has worked so very hard. COL Conker Blackwood of Beta Sqn is chasing him hard, but we have faith that he will see off this challenge with not much over a month left to run and a lead of over 230 points. Keep it up Commander!

We've also had a good medal-haul throughout the squad this week - so, well done to all that received some recognition for their efforts...

The Dean has announced that the role of 'A:Dean' has been awarded to FA Howlader and the SOO is still deciding on the Alpha CMDR position, so there's still time to put in an application! =)

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

In Closing:

Well, quite a busy week for us with the loss of a good pilot but then getting a replacement in only a few days.

Then there's the RtF Competition now underway, which seems to be creating flying activity (don't forget the MP that's going-on this weekend if it's your thing...) which is nothing but a good thing! =)

We'd like to be the most active Squadron in the comp, so anything you can do towards it will be great & much appreciated. Don't forget the 3 'free' missions for High-scores are easy and 'quick' to fly, so why not try one? Oh, and just to clear-up any confusion, all pilot files should be sent to your CMDR. I know that the SOO will BSF them if sent, but unlike the 'Op. Serpents Sortie' Comp., even the 3 HS free-missions should be sent to me.

You can keep an eye on the Competition running-totals & info HERE. Thanks go to COL Pickled Yoda for the work - I think that this is a great idea from the SOO & hopefully it will keep the interest there till the end.

Just one slightly negative point this week - several of you are perilously close to being declared AWOL due to lack of comms; in order of time since last contact:

CPT Ric Gravin
CM Fratus Sinister
CPT Ard Royber

I need to hear something from all 3 of you please. Better still, surprise me and send in a pilot file! =)

Until next time..........

You are dismissed.

Respectfully submitted.

Captain RichyV. Commander of Epsilon Squadron.
