Hey Squadron Report for the week ended November 28, 2001.

Hey Hey! This report is a couple days later than I'd planned, but at least it's fairly on time. Yay me! Not a lot happened in the last week, that's good and bad. Let's get started.

SQUADRON NEWS

I recieved the results of our CRT test Monday. We earned a CRR of 4, the highest we could achieve. Good work everyone!

We have our own IRC channel #HeySquadron, thanks to CM Autoris Maximus. Thanks Auto!

This really shouldn't be noteworthy, but I'm CMDR and this is my report :P I managed to attend the last Wing meeting Sunday for about five or ten minutes. Again, yay me!

CM Tvan'Oris continues his march towards 1000 FCHG points. He's at 908 pts or thereabout with a large amount of pilot files for me to BSF yet this week. Congratulations and good luck!

I've updated our squadron roster with the new Hey webpage. It was announced on our messageboard a while ago, but I've been busy with school. My apologies on the lateness of that.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

WING NEWS

I've finally made my decision on the new BGCOM...many congratulations to Vice Admiral Mell! Mell is a veteran of the Battlegroups and has all the command experience and skills I would require of any BGCOM. I'm sure that he'll not only carry on the good work of the previous BGCOMs, but also work to bring his own successes. Congrats Mell!
