Squadron News
-We've got a challenge from Stalker Squadron which is in its final arrangements stage. We'll need a LOT of high scores to win this one, so be ready. It should start soon, by the first days of the month.
-Wild CoL party on Kappa!!! As you may know, the dork who speaks got the honor to be awarded with it this week. Added to that, 3 more Kappans got it in some of their EH subgroups personas! Congrats go to LCM Tim (CAP Timmy on the IW) who also got it and to LCM Reb Crush and LCM Dash Riprock who earned one each for their work on the CD!! yahoo!! Any doubt the Kappans rock the EH out?
Congratulations also go to more Wing II CoL kewl awardees, Sin's LC Stele Pelleaon and Theta's MAJ Mickk Emrys!! The party is on the Kappa Barracks boys!!!
-As the month begins, I'll be introducing a new title which any of you may be awarded. Medals will be on stake and activity is the key. Stay tuned for a mid-week announcement.
-Check out the cool free mission based on the "Redemtion Scenario" by CM Hawkins. I remember having played it before he went to the reserves. So, follow Tempest's example, get the attachment, try it and give CM H some feedback.
-Apparently, LCM Reb Crush changed his mail addy but forgot to tell me :p *Roasty smacks Reb in the forehead* Gentlemen, update your adress books with the new addy: RebCrush@xs4all.nl
-The qualifying round of the Wing II Pilot League season II has ended, hold your breath for a soon-to-come announcement from the comp manager, CPT Algaron.
-This week's Ol' Roasty's word o' advice: "Word from experience after the bus accident. If you need a nurse, don't go to the sickbay and find a hairy Reb Crush. Ask Hermann for one :p"

Miscellaneous
-Less than 750 to go!
That's right, IWATS now needs less than 750 graduates to hit the big 10,000. Do a course today and let the insanity end! :P
-New Executive Orders
New Executive Orders (#4 and #5) have been posted on the Executive Office site at http://www.kawolski.com which will affect members who have been convicted by the High Court or are currently on trial.
-Logistics Officer retracts resignation
From the "Well-that-was-quick dept.":
[To GA Ronin]:
Dear Sir,
I would like to unresign from the spot of Logistics Officer of the Emperor's Hammer if possible. I did to much work to let off now. I am going to rekindle my fire and finish everything where I left off, and have that timeline up and running by christmas, but hold to my original commitment and finish all the EH Histories. Every single one. Squadron, Wing, Ship, Battlegroup, Subgroup, every single unit will be historied and archived. Im ready sir, just give me the oppurtunity again and Ill strike back hehe empire strikes back. By the Way EH Princeton meet soming soon.
A welcome-back celebration will be held in the ISD Relentless's IRC channel.
-Logistics Officer resigned
Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to post it. Admiral Ramos resigned too, so send applications for the position of Logistics Officer to Grand Admiral Ronin and Sector Admiral Kawolski.
It has been a long rewarding 6 years in the Emperor's Hammer. I must now go on to life and live it. I love life, I expect to love it more when I go to college this year. I must now move on. I hereby at Midnight EST, will resign my commission as LO and step down to LOA. I would like MAJ Khaen my LOA to become the new CA:LO and my current CA:LO Vice Admiral Crusader to become the new Logistics Officer. I would also like to request a promotion for my long standing CA VA Goatham to Admiral. These are requests, and I hope my six years of service will stand by them. Thank you everyone. Kawolski, Ronin, everyone.
I salute you all friends, you're like brothers to me. Never change, only for the better.
I leave you with one word of advice.
Peace
-Internet Officer resigns
As e-mailed by Fleet Admiral AbsoluteK:
This is perhaps the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my EH career. But it must be done, for my own good primarily, but also for the good of the Hammer. For some time now, I have not had the same drive to do work for the EH. I have made many sacrifices to my own detriment, for the EH. However, it is a time for change, as I am going back to college in hopes of finishing a very tough 3yr program so that I can have a better future for myself, which unfortunately being IO cannot provide me. Most of what people will remember me for, is likely to be the now defunct hosting service I used to offer. Some may also remember me for some of the other minor projects I created, like the EH Images Archive, and the Greeting Card Centre, but as for any of the other ambitious projects that are listed on the IO projects page, I have not been able to deliver the goods. While some work has certainly gone into them, none of them are even near completion. Because of this, I must face the fact that I am burnt out, and have little drive to continue on in the EH in any capacity. Therefore, I resign from the position of IO.
I would like to thank my CA, AD Ari for all his efforts, and I believe he will make an excellent successor to me as IO should you approve. Ari is knowledgeable in PHP, ASP and HTML programming, as well as possessing a great number of ideas for improving the IO.
I will greatly miss being part of the command staff, something which I consider a great honour and privilege. I will also miss many of the people I have worked with, and helped out in my time in the EH. While I may stop by from time to time on IRC, I likely will not be around much. Anybody wishing to continue to stay in contact with me, may do so via email.
