Congratulations you guys! I am truly honored to have participated in the operation and to help bring down such an imposing foe. Definitely a feat worth celebrating.

Congrats all....

[Baldwin Praji]

Nicely done Gentlemen! It was one heck of an operation!

[VADM pRett]

Well done, Fleet, and very well deserved recognition for the medal recipients.

[VADM JT Kerry]

It was fun. Jason you did a great job in hearding the cats, and making sure we knew what we were doing and what we needed to have to do it. Including putting some of us in our place - me - when I needed it (sorry I wasn't trying to step on anything - it really was your show, and I really am impressed). And, it was the only way we could beat the CE. Congratulations on the award you don't just deserve it, you completely earned it!

And to everyone else, well done!

Congrats to all awardees! This was my first fleet mission and I really enjoyed how everyone came together to defeat the entity.

[Fleet Admiral E. Fortin]

Congratulations to all, I had my doubts with this one since it is one of the hardest fleet events to win and master. Excellent job Mr. Jason you did your research well and commanded the fleet with the best of them. It was fun and want to also thank all who participated a job well done gentlemen...

Congrads to everyone. I am glad the overall event was successful as I know many folks spent a lot of personal time and resources specing ships and skills specific to combating the CE. Thank you everyone.

[VADM JT Kerry]

(This is in reference to a PM I received.)
Jason,
Forgive my lame attempt at an apology, and I was not trolling for one from you. You were in command, and, in fact, I am proud to be in association with you. You did admirably. I was attempting, poorly, to convey that fact in what I wrote. But command is command, and sometimes it's a lonely place to be. You were great, we did what we set out to do and completed that task both nights. Something that hasn't been done in a long time. You were the right man for the job, you were in command, and I'm proud to be associated with the likes of you and all the others of our group. We had a good night.

And by the way, the STF the second night, I came away with 88 Fleet Mark, wow!
