Epsilon Squadron Weekly Report – 8th July 2014


CMDR-TCS/COL Dunta Polo here reporting in for Epsilon squadron.

With Raise the Flag now behind us things are relatively quiet, although I enjoyed some success in the Hammer on Patrol competition, finishing 1st or 2nd in all 3 categories. On the plus side, the reduction in overall activity means the database email notifications are back to normal. MSEs for June are being processed, and I anticipate the good performance of Epsilon to result in several merit medals. The major news of the week was Lt Colonel Kyle Kroan stepping down from his position as Beta CMDR. COM Elwood is taking applications for a replacement. The number of pilots in the TIE Corps remains steady as new recruits were balanced out by others leaving for the reserves. COO Crsepe launched another Star Conflict competition following the end of RTF, and CPT Plif is taking submissions for a Sin squadron uniform and banner competition.
