To my dusty personal log.
I have served in the Navy for decades, what I didn't expect is in my old age to actually reach the peak of my snubcraft combat prowess! I know the conservative Fleets would frown upon me taking to the field and facing the enemies, but we are the First Armada - if we leaders don't lead by example despite the dangers, who will?

The latest Simulator incentive has suckered in us high-ranked officers as well, and the results are starting to show. For year after year, the Lane Hackers have given me huge headaches. Hard to catch, very skilled pilots, and very annoying to track down. for the first time ever I have managed to take one down when piloting a fighter! The LH~Koskov hacker was spotted in Virginia, 46th|Alpha-2 arrived to assist but it wasn't needed! I have used my newly honed skills to take the Hacker down all by myself. And I won't lie - it's good to know that being beaten over and over in the Simulator like when I was a young cadet at West Point can actually bring in results even in my advanced age!
