Squadron Orders:
Ok guys, since we've been having a lot of trouble lately with people not flying for competitions and stuff, I'm setting up a couple of rules to keep things clear. Also, I have put more rules down about FLs. Read very carefully, and keep a copy of this.
Everyone respond to me with acknowledgment of these orders. These are now the standing orders for Omicron Squadron.

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 parrticipating 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 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: Report in asap acknowledging the squadron standing orders.
Secondary: Recruit!!! We need more members in Omicron! Note: use the Cadet auto-mailer on the Colossus site! (www.isdcolossus.com , login, and select Cadet Auto-Mailer)
Tertiary: Fly!!! Start from TIE-TC 1, and work your way upwards.
And I recommend everyone download the T/F Workshop. (everyone who can't find it, tell me and I'll send it to you)

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

CMDR's Corner:
-Well, as all can see, I've worked a bit on the lay-out of the report, adding all kinds of things, like more clear dividers between parts, a personal note after everybody's activity report, and, of course, the now Official Omicron Standing Orders that you need to acknowledge by sending a mail to me!!!
-Not only the report, but the structure of the squadron has changed/is changing. We (hopefully) have a new FL on his way for Flight II, and he and our current Flight III FL, LCM Wysseri Arestar, are now charged with making a Flight Report every week. A new Squadron Executive Officer has been chosen as well: LT Aero Slasher.
-Guys, read the squadron orders, read them again, study them till you can see them no more, print them off, hang them above your bed, whatever it takes, just make sure that you abide them!!! Any questions should of course be directed to me, and do not hesitate to ask. For even the slightest doubt in your mind, ask me to clarify!
