    And just when I finish writing my report, I receive the COM's weekly report in my inbox. So I can start over.....

    Lessee what the COM's report teaches us: LT Nylan outdid himself (and me) this week by beating me in the TIE part of Hammer on Patrol Nice work, sir! And since Dunta Polo is back and took the XvT medal, I'm only getting one IS-SW this week, which is an all-time low for me. I seek vengeance!

    Fortunately, I did get 1st place in one of the Hammer on Recon competetions, but it appears that was only because I was the only entry. Which meanbs the winning medal is an IS-BW and not an IS-SW. Someone stole 2 FCHG points from me by not submitting a screenshot! (Although if that someone had, I would have gotten 2nd place no doubt :)

    The COM is still on leave, and although the Ship Evaluation for July has been completed, we'll have to wait for the results of that until he returns. Patience, my padawans, and remember - I'm still waiting for the outcome of June myself :)

    Furthermore, we have a few pieces of great news to replace the lack of medals! LT Nylan - after a sting of more than ELEVEN years, has finally left his Lieutenant's rank behind and joined the Lieutenant Commander's \ club. Congrats to you!

    Also, CPT Nutrientman has joined the Tactical Office as Command Attaché so he has an official capacity under which to continue his work on the XWA patches problem. For those who think CA:SCO would then be better remember that after the last restructuring, the Science Office was integrated into the Tactical Office anyway. Plus, we're short a Science Officer :) Either way - congrats on your dual profile, Rear Admiral Nutrientman!

    More fun news. As you should recall, a few weeks back, LT Nylan took down the trivia. Then last week he did so again, and now he has scored his third win in a row, something previously only done by MAJ Clark. Nice work, Lieutenant, congrats on your 3rd IS-BR in a row, and also on your first trivia incentive medal for earning 50 points! Alas, it does mean that next week you're playing for points only!

    Although I keep having trouble getting hold of our SC recruitees, I did manage to get ina few words with LT Benjo this week, and he bagged himself a load of LoCs as well. Let's hope this continues! Unfortuynately, I cannot say the same for LC Nelson. I fear that soon we shall lose him.

    I think that about covers it this week. The mailing list is flooding with Fantasy Football crud, I have no idea what that's about so I just trash the lot of it :)

    No it doesn,t cover it all, I lied. There's still Delta's Spice Run, the fiction competition. It's done, and I have 2 entries. Which sucks, since it's hard to pick a winner. So I'm gonna go the chicken way there and postpone the final decision until my next report!
