FLEET NEWS

Tau Challenge (posted by the FO)
Following some recent talk on the TC message boards, General Kaerner, Commander of the Elite Tau Squadron has issued a challenge to any TC Squadron - If you feel that your Squadron has what it takes to beat Tau in an XWA/XvT multiplayer competition, then email GN Kaerner with your challenge today!

SO on leave (posted by the SO)
Well.. partly cause I know you all care, and partly cause there is no news on TC.org...

THE SO IS ON LEAVE!
Yes it's quite exciting I know. But I will only be gone until the 21st. I'm sure the club wont fall a part while I'm gone.

IO Goodies (posted by the IO)
Seeing as how its been a slow news week here on TC.org, here are some things for you all to check out.

The EH Meeting Log for (2001-08-04) is up at http://www.ehnet.org/article.php?sid=344. The newest IO poll titled "Cooking Skills" is up at http://www.ehnet.org/pollBooth.php?pollID=51. If you are really bored, go post on the EHNet.org Message Boards. :)

New Wing II WC (posted by the FO)
Many congratulations go out to Colonel Ford Prefect who has been selected as the new Wing Commander for Wing II. Go Fordio!

Also thanks to the former WC, Colonel Inkwolf who served as WC successfully for several months, and has been awarded with the Gold Star for all of her hard work.

WING NEWS

New Typhoon CMDR (or Kinda new)
He's already old and jaded, but that's what all Typhooners are like! Congrats to CM Triji Boliv on taking on the unenviable task of whipping Typhoon into shape. Speaking of which...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SQUADRON NEWS

Operation: Results - Keyword Not Found, Please Try Again (a.k.a. Squadron League)
Still no results... - Let's amend that to "There will never be any results" :P

Competition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tornado takes on Typhoon starting on Friday next! Details closer to the date, but I expect you all to whip some serious Typhoon bum. Just cause we're better than them.

New Arrivals...
I'd like to welcome SL Assassin on board! Welcome to Tornado! Fly a battle or write an INPR to get promoted to LT! :)

Departures
None this week - woooooooooooooooo! That means our current roster count is 10 - only 2 places to a full squad! :)

Web Page
LC Hicks is currently updating the Tornado webpage for me as I haven't had time to do it. It's been suggested that we might add on our personal Star Wars and SciFi links to the page, so if you want to have your links included then email Hicks at coho@ehnet.org

Citations
We're still down two. I want to be up to 30 citations by the end of the month, so anyone earning two citations for the squadron in a week will get an ISM - earn shinies - fly fly fly! :)

Flight Leader for Flight III
Since it doesn't seem that LCM Jerry will be coming back any time soon, due to a slight case of virus, I'm looking for a new FL. I'm currently hovering my beady little eye over CM Xyrryc and CM Nathan Summers. I'll be watching the two of you for the next two weeks (always assuming you both want the job) and then I'll appoint whoever seems the most active at the end of two weeks. :)
