Hey all! Acerbus here with report numero ocho...y finalmente para el sargento.

For those of you who don't speak Spanish, I'd like to announce that I will be stepping down from my duties as Sergeant, effective immediately. All of this Squadron has made me very proud to be a BTL. I'd like to humbly thank the House and Clan Summit for giving me the chance to lead such a storied and strong group of individuals.

As for my reasons...well, they're multifaceted and numerous in nature. It hasn't even been the third week of school yet for me, and already I'm out sick fighting a nasty cold and sore throat, getting homework, tests, and projects piled high and deep on me, and to top it off I'm undergoing a career change. Not to mention my band hasn't practiced in almost a month. I just can't fit a leadership position in the Brotherhood into my schedule anymore! Fear not, however...once summer comes I'll have lots of time on my hands again, and I've planned for my senior year of high school to be a total cruise. I'll be back in no time at all.

Don't worry about me...you'll still see me around occasionally. I'll be on IRC once in a while, and I'll keep up with e-mail and check the DJB site every day or so. That, and I'll be staying in the squadron. If something happens and I'm needed, I'll be here. I imagine an organization of nearly 3000 people isn't going anywhere either. Until about mid-May or so, though...consider me to be on a pseudo-extended-leave-of-absence.

Jeez laweez...you'd think I was Consul or something, the way I'm writing a big, sad goodbye. I'll get on with the real reporting now.

Medals:

An LS goes to Adrian for his pwnage of the Naga Sadow Weekly Trivia...what a nerd! (Just kidding, good work!) He also netted an Emerald Crescent in that competition.

DCs go to Trais and Dessan for their participation in the Great Jedi War. Way to go, guys!

GCs were awarded to Godo and Dessan, for the GJW and the new DJB Wiki. Excellent work, gentlemen.

That's really all I have to report on, at the moment. A final thing I would like to note: I have appointed Battlemaster Godo Nurok as my successor. He has a long history of high activity and innovative leadership...Iron Fist Brigade will prosper under his strong leadership. I'd like to thank the entire Clan once again for their great work in the Sixth Great Jedi War, and for the good times I've had with them since I joined the Brotherhood way back in June 2005. I love you guys...Clan Naga Sadow will always be my home.

Well, that about does it for this edition. Catch y'all later...and, oh yeah, Go Iron Fist!

Always in your service, with darkest regards,
