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

Wing News:

-ISDCA and HGK going on, results out soon I think. -ECR still on hold -Colossus Web-site undergoing major changes. -COM's Insignia competition extended one week -Motto & Nickname competition winner is: LCM Alain Dindareanu!!! Congratulation Alain!

Squadron News:

-LT Robert leaves us, member count at six now. -Because of some great team work by us, especially bu CitO Alain Dindareanu, we now have 3 citations! Congratulations! -XO's corner is under 'construction' -Omicron Squadron Competition for TIE-TC #123 going on, fly that asap! -New Omicron competition is coming up soon: fiction run-on! For this competition I hope to see everyone participate, even those that cannot fly, since this is a non-flying competition. Thanks to LCM Alain Dindereanu for submitting the starting idea for this. Details:    Someone will start a fiction on a specific topic. Everyone is to write a short (100-800 words, note that length does not neccesarily mean quality) continuation on the fiction, and I will select the best and add that to the fiction. The winning submitter gets an    IS-BR. After the continuation has been selected, the next round will commence in the same fashion as the old.    I hope to, at the end of a story, submit it to the EH Newsletter and/or the Colossus Pulse. Credits will be worked out when the    time comes for that.

Squadron Orders:

The official Omicron Squadron Standing Orders:

Part A: For Everyone: 1) Abide all Colossus standing orders. (to be found on the Colossus web-site) 2) Competitions and other activity's: Everyone must submit something to a competition inside our squadron/ship, as long as they have the required tools needed for it (for flying comps TIE Fighter, for Graphic comps a Graphic Workshop) 3) Leaves: When you go on holiday, you go for a long weekend somewhere or anything that will prevent you from checking your e-mails and participating in any other form of activity for more then 24 consecutive hours, do two things: set your TC profile on Leave status (log in on the site, select edit profile, scroll down until you find Turn Leave Status On, make sure that's checked, and then put the reason of your leave in the textbox, click submit at the bottom of the page and your done.) Second: mail me telling me the exact same stuff you put on your profile (when you're leaving, why, and when your coming back) Note: This also counts for exams that you really and absolutely want to put yourself 100% for (actually should be all exams :P) and you want to get all distractions away from you, so you're not going to check your e-mails, then also put your leave status on for the duration of your studying+exam and notify me. 4) Semi-leaves: Other hindering RL stuff: If you have other things in RL (RL always comes first, of course!!) to do that prevent you from flying but you can still check your e-mails, you don't have to put your leave status on if you don't want, but do mail me telling me that so I know you can't fly for any comps. 5) Contact: Everyone is allowed and advised to seek out contact with me, using ICQ, MSN Messenger, AIM, IRC or e-mail or even through the MSN Zone. All my contact info is available on my personnel profile.

Part B: For FLs only: 1) Flight Leaders are to make a report of their flight every week, not public like my Weekly Squadron Report, but personal and give recommendations and individual activity reports for your FMs. 2) FLs are also advised to seek out contact with your FMs, through ICQ, MSN Messenger, AIM, etc. and keep contact through e-mail with them and me. 3) FLs are also supposed to be a example for your FMs, and a good example at that. That means, fly when you have to, participate in comps, keep in touch, and abide by all these rules!

Part C: For FMs only: 1) Everything you submit, and that means from tfrs to submissions for a fiction competition etc, go to not only the judge (in a case of a comp outside of the squadron), but also to me, and your FL. You are also advised to seek out contact with your FLs and fellow FMs (especially those in your Flight). 2) There is a certain minimum you need to do to be an active member of the squadron (meaning not getting shipped off to the RSVs for inactivity), namely, fly at least 1 mission a week. One mission is hardly a lot to ask for per week. If your joystick/TIECD/etc. is broken and you can't fly, try to participate in a graphics competition, fiction competition or try to do something. If you need ideas for graphics, just ask me for some examples, I'll always be able to give you some. If you continue to not do any activity, don't give a good reason for not doing so, then you may be subject to be transferred to the RSVs, which I will then discuss with COM Mell and WC Absolut Vodka.

Primary: Make a COM's Banner! Secondary: Fly battles indicated by our CitO! Tertiary: Recruit! We need more pilots! Notes: a) Recruit LEGALLY!! If you aren't sure about how to and how not to recruit, I suggest you read the FSO at http://www.btinternet.com/~spellfire/general.html b) I will give you an ISM for every two pilots you recruit into Omicron; you don't need to have gotten an MoI, but you need to give me a proof that you recruited the CT

CMDR's Corner:

-Well, congratulations to LCM Alain Dindereanu for winning the motto comp first of all! -Second, again chiefly because of Alain, we now have 3 citations! Good work! -Note that I've given Pilot Of The Week to Alain, even though he didn't do any flying. This is because he's been very active lately on IRC, and constantly suggesting new competitions, and doing everything he can to stay active; nice going!
