6.6.2005 - FA Joe
Greetings from the Recon Office.
All emails to be sent to the new Honorary Members have been out for a week or so, but no responses at of yet. This is a slow processes, so I hope everyone bares with me for this. Sometimes it takes months to get responses back.
I'll send out emails to our past Honorary Members for a current interview. Ill give details on that later.
VA Ky Terrak, my CA:RO, has been doing an excellent job with the RO website which should be up and running in no time. For his services, he should be getting a nice shiny as soon as Ops approves. :P Congrats ahead of time!
I would also like to say good luck to all those participating in ImpStorm. I remember when ImpStorm started way back when I was a regular line officer. It was fun to say the least. So play fair and kick some tail!
That's it for me this week. It's a slow news week both with my office and for Star Wars in general. There are a few news items below, check 'em out.

ROTS Drops to #3 at the Box Office
Posted By Joshua on June 5, 2005
"Madagascar" reached the century mark five days earlier than the studio's "Shark Tale" last fall and one day faster than the first "Shrek" in May 2001. The plot revolves around the residents of a zoo who break out and discover that life in the wild is not what they expected.
Paramount Pictures' Adam Sandler comedy "The Longest Yard" also inched up one place in its second weekend, to No. 2, with $26.1 million. The 10-day total for the prison football remake stands at $95.8 million.
Close behind was 20th Century Fox's "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" with $26.0 million for the weekend. It has earned $308.8 million to date, and hit $300 million in a record 17 days, beating last summer's "Shrek 2" by one day. Fox expects it to hit $400 million, approaching the $431 million total of the 1999 "Star Wars" installment "The Phantom Menace." The overseas total is $308.4 million, with the studio forecasting that haul to reach $500 million.
