CMDR/CM VinDoros reporting in for Ranger Squadron, 15.06.02:

Squadron News:

Let's congratulate CM Hunter on becoming the new Commander of Demon Squadron! We know he'll be an excellent Commander.
Medals this week: CM Alex Foley got a GS this week, LCM Taelyan got an IS-BW, Maj Gidda was awarded LoCx2, and I was awarded LoCx6.
IWATS: LCM Nicolai Braxton passed the LIN course with a 93%! Nice work!
Ranger Banner Comp Results: Aeolus is the winner! (And that's also where he got his IS-BW.) Its already been approved, and the new banner should be up in a couple days. Nice work to all those who submitted.
Ranger Ace Comp Results: Arggg...terrible turnout for this one. But here are the results:

CM VinDoros: 4437-2nd Place-2pts

CM Alex Foley: (on leave)

LCM Taelyan: (on leave)

LCM Braxton: didn't fly :(

Maj Gidda: 12,819 (awesome!)-1st Place-3pts

CM Jene Starwind: didn't fly :(

COL Boromir: didn't fly :(

To say the least, the number of submissions is VERY disappointing. Had this been a Squad vs. Squad comp, i'd be very ticked. Big congratulations to Maj Gidda, who not only broke the current high score, but he more than doubled it! Nice work Maj Gidda!

Squadron Status/Orders:

WC's Own for June: Post on the Ranger Message board! Fly MP and Single Player, and do IWATS! Looks like Demon is going to take the SP part(dang Hunter anyway!). But we got a good chance of winning with our MB activity, and all the MP Maj Gidda and myself are doing. Sounds like Falcon might have the IWATS wrapped up...but we could still win off the other two activities.
Ranger vs. Trapper- the Deadline is June 19th. Don't forget! I haven't gotten any submissions yet. Its a tough mission, and a big thank you to Maj Gidda, who sent hints :) And i'd rather post low scores than no scores at all.
Important: If for some reason you can't fly the comp, at least put leave status on. It only takes a few minutes to fly the mission or put yourself on leave status. If you don't fly, you hurt the squadron, and I know nobody wants that. I don't want an inactive squadron. Ok, rant over.
WC's Beer Challenge: Demon has already claimed this (dang Hunter...again :P), and I don't expect a flood of BSF's, but you never know....
Thursday is "The Night of the Lost Souls". The ISD Immortal multiplayer competition will take place from 20 GMT to 22 GMT (15:00 - 17:00 EST) and will be held on #ISD_Immortal and #EHCOC (Undernet servers).
