SJ members requested a review of the entrance trial format for cadets. The specific issue was the weight class used by the opponents. The vote results in a change from the first opponent using light class to medium class. This cascades into the second opponent using heavy class and the final opponent using assault class. So the opponents are bumped up a weight class. This option prevailed over all opponents using the same weight class as the cadet. The opponent selection will remain the same. However an emphasis on using more skilled pilots to further the challenge will be encouraged.
SJ continues to have good participation in MWLL and a few other games. The past 2 weeks saw a rare full SJ compliment in Chaos March. The two stars continue to "train". I will be setting a date this summer for the stars to have an internal scrimmage. I am working on friendly battles with other units as well.

SJ conducted an entry trial for cadet Architect this past Saturday. The pilot was sponsored by SJ Proxema for the trial. Architect needed to defeat at least one SJ pilot to win the trial. SJ Joey was the first opponent in a Cougar F. SJ Phylex followed in a Bushwacker F. Finally, SJ Proxema finished in an Argus E. The pilots provided advice on tactics before the trial began. Architect trialed in a Madcat G.
