News!

Orv has just retired today... Crazy. Arion Sunrider is going to take over his duties, and let's hope he does a swell job.

Umm... I actually think that's it...

If you are signed up for the Navy Officer school and have not sent in a battleplan, you need to do it or you do not pass! It's very important that you at least send in an attempt so you can get points for promotions. Send in the battleplans!
