Lieutenant Colonel Philo reporting in for Yod Squadron 2.16.03


Fleet News:


· "Mission Creation Wars" signups still going.
· Loads of new and improved XvT patches from the Science Office available.
· OPS has set new guidelines for merit medals. Most notably, merit medals for flying milestones have been discontinued, and earning a BS or SS through flying activity alone is no longer possible. See the latest OPS report for the nitty-gritty, and check the Squadron News for a related development. :P
· Little-known, unwritten TAC policy: Patchable missions flown without the patches are eligible for FCHG points, but not for high scores. Go figure.

This week’s position shuffle:

· Wing VIII WC spot is open. See EH news page for details.
· The FO, Priyum, has been promoted to High Admiral. No more need to pity the FOo. :P



Ship News:


· The Sovereign Battles of the Month for February battles:
· TIE-TC 183 (Defection of Kusanagi)
· XvT-TC 31 (Pirate Scouts)
· XWA-TC 32 (The History of the SSSD Sovereign)

Pilot files are due to AD Proton and me (cnwilde@pacbell.net) by midnight, 28 Feb.

· Operation Outrageous Fortune, still going.
· Sovereign Squadron League coming soon! We’re automatically entered. See the Squadron section for a pep talk.

Wing News:


· Lots of new arrivals just after I sent out my report last week:
· LT Airamags
· LCM Ace
· Congrats to LT Halk Knight on his promotion!
· CM Var Zoraan has transferred from Cheth to Zayin.
· We’re at 41 members, and shooting for 45 by the end of the month.
· Wing Comps:

· Flight comp vs. Wing VIII. The battle is TIE-DB 11, due the end of February to Wolvie, with a cc to me if you want it on your record :P Let’s keep our great record in Wing comps intact!
· February Wing Ace Comp: TIE-TC 55. Due end of February.
· Wing Archives comp is still running, as well.


Squadron News/Orders:

News:

· Inferno Comp: Fly TIE-TC 141 by the end of the month, have a higher average than they do. IS-BW to the top score in each squadron. Losers get their nickname and mottos changed for March.
· Sov Squadron League tirade: Let’s win this thing, or at least come in second to Teth. One thing that will help us is if we can get at least one more pilot in the squadron—the top 6 scores from each squadron count. If you’re going to be contacting cadets, please check with DarkEagle first and see if he’s already contacted them—we don’t want to snow anyone under.
· MAJ Phoenix Berkana has been moved back to his suite in the Reserves.

Orders:

Top Priority:
Fly for Inferno Comp
Fly for Wing comp
Recruit!

Secondary Priority
Fly for SBOM
Fly for Wing Ace comp
Write for Wing Archives comp
Use the Wing messageboard
Help us find a sister squadron!

Dead Ewok Citations: 60

Once we get back to 6 pilots, these can be Real Citations again.
