Greetings, ECHO!
{WSR for WEEK ENDING: 19 May 2002}

Well, my first full week as your Squadron Commander, and I must say that I am impressed with the response I have received!

SQUADRON NEWS

1) Activity levels are UP! To everyone who has contacted me and begun submitting work, great job. As for the rest who have yet to contact me, you're missing out!
2) Please remember to CC: LCM Ender mBind on any TC-Related items you send me, except for BSFs. As the XO, he needs to keep up on what is going on too.

3) Our Unit Citations are now up from 7 to 8! While this may not be a huge leap forward, it is progress nonetheless. Kudos to the TAC Officer, LCM Seymoon-Fei, for his hard work as the TAC Officer. You have all received email from him asking you to complete certain battles. I know that LCM Ender mBind is the one to thank for getting us that Citation, as he completed his 'homework'. Please try and do the assigned battles. For those of you who are still new in the TIE Corps and aren't too sure how to complete battles, email me and I will help you out.

4) I have a 3 Strike rule when it comes to activity. Each week you are not in contact with me, you receive a Strike. Therefore, 3 Strikes in a row and I will begin the process of having you AWOL'd. Here's a hint: If you really don't have time or the desire to be active in the TIE Corps, just email me and let me know and we'll get you moved to the Reserves. That looks much better than being on the AWOL list. If Real Life is getting hectic and you don't have as much time as you'd like, EMAIL ME and I will work with you.
5) The Squadron messageboard is there for all of our usage. I post alot of information up there, and it behooves you to stop by once in a while to check it out. Besides, it's fun to go there and crack on each other's posts!

6) We currently have 3 competitions running. The first is a Squadron Graphics Competition. Our current banner is WAY too big. You have 2 weeks if you want to submit a graphic for the competition. Our second competition is a Fiction Competition. This competition runs until early next week, so submit soon! Our third competition is an IWATS Competition. You have until June 1st to complete as many IWATS as you can. Past IWATS will NOT be counted. Here is a chance for you guys that haven't done many IWATS to gain a medal! The winner of each competition will receive an IS:BR. More details can be found on the Squadron Website and on our messageboard.

7) The Wing Commander has decreed that any pilot with 0 points at the end of the SCIV will be AWOL'd. If you feel you are in danger of this, EMAIL ME ASAP. I'll see what I can do to help you out.

8) We have three open slots in our Squadron Roster. Lets see what we can do to fill them!

9) We now have our own IRC Channel! Stop by #Echo_ReadyRoom and hang with the squad! TC-14 is in there serving drinks 24-7!

10) At the Frozen Doom MP Competition this week, pilots from the Vanguard (including yours truly) engaged pilots from all over the ASF, and triumphed! A tremendous turnout by Hornet Squadron aided the fight. We were able to secure 10 of the 12 LoCs handed out for the Vanguard! I'd like to see some of you guys stopping by the MP Competitions. We are, after all, a Multi Player squadron.
