Hey Squadron report for November 5, 2001 through November 20, 2001.

Hey Hey! Another somewhat delayed report from me, but hopefully my
schedule will be somewhat more amenable to getting these out on a weekly basis from now on. We've got a lot to cover, so here we go!

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

We had a CRT a week or so ago (college and my lousy sleep schedule have erased the exact time frame from my mind). I'll send out results when I get them.

LCM Tvan'Oris has been promoted to CM after many months of high activity and devotion to duty. Congratulations Tvan!

As most of you know, LCM Dan Jenkins announced his resignation from Hey Squadron and transfer to the Reserves last week, due to RL considerations.
Dan was in Hey Squadron longer than I have been. It's been an honor to serve with you Dan. I look forward to your return to duty. Good luck in school!

SL Linoge has joined Hey Squadron, fresh from Daedalus. Welcome to the squadron!

SL Linoge has been promoted to LT after filling out his INPR. Congrats! Drinks are on you! :)

WING NEWS
------------
Gimel Squadron has a new CMDR. Congratulations to CM Ace Hobbes! Hope you enjoy squadron command as much as I do!

Nothing else springs to mind. Read Jahan's wing report when it comes out.

FLEET NEWS
------------
TIE Corps Battlegroups Commander Resigns
10:54 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Over the weekend, Admiral Adrenaline announced her decision to resign as TC Battlegroups Commander due to increasing RL work. Adren was undoubtedly one of the hardest working members of the EH and held in high respect by all. I'm sorry to see her go, and we're definitely losing one of our finest Officers.

I will not be taking applications for a new BGCOM, so please don't send one. Adren's replacement will be selected in the next couple of days.

Wing XX WC Selected
10:44 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Many congratulations go out to Major Grail SoulChaser who has been
appointed as the new Wing Commander for Wing XX!

War Manual Online
10:40 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
From the WO, Vice Admiral Pel:

I'm pleased to announce that the Fleet Commander and Executive Officer have approved the new War Manual, and it can now be found in the War Office at http://www.tiecorps.org/wo/ (thanks to the XO for hosting). The WM
contains all the information you'd need for playing wargames using XWA.

I've also started playing testing some new rules and modifications, and I'm looking for people to help out. If you're intestested, please email me at Palinathas@aol.com.

Battles created on profiles
08:30 - FA Striker [striker@tiecorps.org]
If you happen to have created a battle, which is not listed on your
profile (and if you're its only creator), please contact me with your PIN so I can update the particular battle profile. I am especially thinking of old TIE Battles, which are often not linked to a creator profile.
