    Well yesterday was the start of a week off from work for me. Which I promptly celebrated by getting hit with the flu. COM Woody had to suffer the consequences of my inability to get a decent night's sleep as he found a few pilotfiles in his onbox at the end of the day. More to follow :)

    TIE Golf's first round has finished, and I did badly, ending in 5th place with 443 points more than the hole winner. I'll have to figure out how to make up that difference somehow. Grats to Plif and Flelm for getting the absolute minimum. Still, the hole wasn't a complete loss as I did manage to beat my opponent, so yay me. First medal's in.

    I also managed to bag another two in Hammer on Patrol, this time it was out very own LCM Nylan who bested me. Nice job! I'd also like to congratulate CPT Shado fenn and LCM Nylan on their Trivia Incentive awards. My admiration to the good Captain for reaching 1,300 points!

    The COM's going on leave this week and as such has declared the next round of Hammer on Patrol will last two weeks, and will be a complete battle this time. This should be interesting :)

    Now onto more serious matters. Delta's squadron roster does not make me a happy camper, with not one, not two, but THREE SLs on there, both of which have had ample chance to earn a promotion to full LT. I'll be emailing them again to see what's going on, but so far those have gone unanswered.

    The COM has finally gotten around to awarding the backlog of the Medal of Communication. As I understand, such was not the easiest bit as most of the info is with the SOO, but he did manage it. Good work, sir!

    Last of all is best of all maybe (to some anyway): The CA:TAC, RA Nutrientman has uploaded the last patches for XWA. As of now, all XWA battles requiring patches (Except XWATC56) can be flown again on the 64 bit platforms. Be sure to read the installation instructions, as you can't use the EHSP for them. XWATC 56 (Havok's Bouncing baby Boy) has been put on hold for the time being as something keeps crashing the missions.

    Not much else to report I think. Keep going folks!
