ESN_Tyrol	Greetings
ESN_Tyrol	Not much to report on the Navy side this week
ESN_Tyrol	The re-named Elite Pilot Competition has been going for a week now
ESN_Tyrol	Some pilots are still on leave as they left just before the competition started, and some who have dual accounts are sitting out due the workload, but things are progressing smoothly
ESN_Tyrol	because of the EPC however, Squadron stories and activity are on the back burner
ESN_Tyrol	VENA has also been rather slow this week
ESN_Tyrol	That's it from me, back to you Tanus
PRTC_GSGT_Tanus	* PRTC_GSGT_Tanus sets mode: -v ESN_Tyrol
PRTC_GSGT_Tanus	Thank you Ibram
PRTC_GSGT_Tanus	And now for the army report
PRTC_GSGT_Tanus	We are into our second week of completion in the ESC and things are starting to get interesting. The amount of story posts has certainly picked up tremendously since the start (which is rather amusing that the surge of posts came at week 2 not week 1).

PRTC_GSGT_Tanus	On the battlefront, some of you have completed your final objective for Phase I or are in the process of completing it. This will have to wait until 1st Lieutenant Angel returns with those orders, as I have been given all orders concerning Phase I and ONLY Phase I. The rest of you: do your best to get your objectives completed.
PRTC_GSGT_Tanus	Just a small note here, some of you may be having trooper problems due to them being on leave....this does make things A LOT more difficult for you, but it does not make things impossible. ESC is a somewhat long competition and hopefully they'll make it back for the end. If not, you are NOT crippled, just overworked :p In the meantime, just try to make do that's all any of us can ask of you.
PRTC_GSGT_Tanus	So, to sum it up: The ESC is going great, don't stress yourselves out, play your strengths, tie up the loose ends and have a Merry Christmas
