-- News

I) The current news is, just to confirm rumor, that one of the squadrons in the Retribution Fleet may get disbanded. The Wing CO for that Squadron is currently handeling the problem there, in hopes of restoring the Squadron so that it perhaps may not get disbanded after all. Only time will tell.

II) The first mission in R2F's Tour 7 is now over! It wasn't the greatest turnout for reports, numbering only at 25. Fleet participation is at an all time low since Tour 6, being at around 50%. I know participation has suffered due to schooling and the summer, so I'm happy with what we at least have here.

III) Merits will be updated soon, not right away, but soon. All those who turned in Mission Narratives and Historical missions, and other various activities will be credited.
