I must apologize for the great length of time between this and my last fleet wide mailing. But as you know my grandmother passed away and I am still dealing with much of the aftermath such as dealing with her bank accounts, and house and sending out thank you cards and all sorts of things like that. Because of this, this NL may be a little long. Please take the time to read the whole thing because it outlines many of the happenings that are going on in the RSCD as whole and explains about many of the events that are going on now and coming up in the near future.

The Recruit Orientation Center (ROC)
      About a year ago the RSCD command staff reopened the ROC as a place to get new members acquainted with the RSCD and how it operates. There were many obstacles and stumbles along the way but thanks to the work of General Janet Skyy and Capt. Goon LeDouche the ROC is fully up and running and has recently just had its first 3 graduates who all graduated with Honors; thus earning the Master Cadet Medal and a promotion to the rank of Second Lieutenant (2LT)
      
      Congratulations to 2nd Lt. Nicolai, 2nd Lt. Jace \"Icer\" Blackmoon and 2nd Lt. Carl Thansk on your accomplishment and I look forward to seeing each of you participate in Knight Company and RSCD activities.

Republic Commando
      Not so long ago (March 1st to be exact) a new and great Star wars game came out. It is called Republic Commando(RC). The RSCD is proud to be home to a Company dedicated to this great new game. So if you own RC and want to play it with fellow RSers please contact Alextravia at AlexG2490@aol.com
