Hey Squadron Report for January 17th, 2002 through February 5th, 2002.

Well, it's that time again. Past time actually, but I've been busy with some squadron related duties, so sue me. We've got a lot of activity and news to cover so let's do it!

SQUADRON NEWS
----------------------

LT Dirk Fireslinger resigned and transferred to the Reserves due to RL complications. Good luck with school Dirk. Hope to see you return.

LCM Alhana Creed was promoted to Flight Leader of Three Flight. Congratulations!

We flew a battle for our CRT and all but one of flew for it, so we scored a five, the best CRT score in Wing III for January.

The "Who Is Active In Hey Squadron" competition will have to be re-run after I get it approved by OPS and TO. We had an excellent turn-out for it in it's initial run, so I hope it'll go just as well the second time around.

WING NEWS
----------------------

Several new pilots in the Wing, several returns from Reserves and a new CMDR appointment.

CM Arcanian Stirner returned from Praetorian Squadron to take command of Aleth. Congrats, Arc and good luck!

CPT Cal Sinis was awarded a Silver Star for his excellent service in Beth Squadron. Congrats, Cal!

CM Kalve Ryder joined Daleth Squadron. Welcome to Wing III!

For other Wing news, read Jahan's wing report when it comes out.

January Week of War Results
23:59 - RA Brucmack [bjmacken@engmail.uwaterloo.ca]
Week of War results for January have been processed. If you don't get LoCs that you deserve, it probably means that I couldn't find a TC pin for you... meaning that neither your name nor email address turned up results in the profile search utility. If so, mail me your pin :)

In any case, we showed strongly in the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter competition, and not-so-strongly in the X-Wing Alliace one. In XvT we placed fifth as a club, and in XWA we placed seventeenth.

As per the new COO WoW award competition, the following people will be awarded Iron Stars:

For XvT:
IS-GW: Verr
IS-SW: Blackhero
IS-BW: Kaerner

For XWA:
IS-BW: Zoron

Congratulations to all winners, your awards are in the mail! For details on how these medals are awarded, click here for its ImperialAcademy.org competition profile.

TAC on forced leave
14:18 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
My connection has been shot down earlier this week, someone thought it was wiser to wait for the return from holidays of the domain administrator next week to deal with the virus which crashed the mail server, disconnecting everyone for the time being. Consider me on leave until someone competent solves the problem here :P
