Squadron Summer League about to begin
15:33 - FA Cyric [jroscoe@comcast.net]
This year's Summer Patrol begins today and is open to the fleet! What's the Summer Patrol? Well, like last year's patrol (which was a Sovereign only competition) it consists of a weekly patrol of missions and battles to choose from that lasts 8 weeks long. Pilots are free to sign up by flying a battle or set of missions and submitting them to the moderators.
Sounds easy, right? Last year we saw a large group of pilots participate in this patrol but only a handful survived on the last week. Those who do not submit their pilot files for a week are automatically dropped out and the patrol continues on without them.
Those who do survive this patrol of weekly flying are awarded the Iron-Star Gold Wing.
This week's patrol starts off fairly easy. Your objective is to fly one of any of the 15 battles below. Each of these battles is four missions long. Next week may be a little more demanding.

Submit your Summer Patrol pilot file for this week to tieknt@juno.com and "dweezil's" with the header "Week 1 Summer Patrol (ID LINE)"
Due date: July 25th (Sunday)
Good luck and I hope to see you out during patrol.
Flight Leaders in the Tie Corps
15:16 - FA Cyric [jroscoe@comcast.net]
Many of you in the TC looking for advancement need only look to the TC Rosters to see that there are many FL positions available. These positions are seen as the first step towards gaining a Commandership in the TC. Prove yourselves with a Flight and you may soon get a squadron of your own! If you have ambition and drive, and can run a Flight, look through the rosters and find an empty FL slot, then contact the Commander of the Flight. Apply adn make sure that your current commander is aware of your intentions to further your career in the TC. Flight leaders are important, because without them, new SL's don't get placed in the squadrons. Further more, active FL's are more likely to get noticed by commanders and WC's for other positions.
If you think you have what it takes, look around and inquire. You are not restricted to your current wings, or ships for this, however, look within your current BG first as you may find a position close to home :)

Squadron News
We have a new pilot,welcome LCM Ironfist who has just transferred to our squadron. I know i speak for all of us when i say its great to get a new pilot and some fresh blood in Crossbow. Co-incidentally, my tour of duty has been completed at last, but dont worry, im not going anywhere :)
Wing News
Wing news this week. Bubba returns from LoA (yay), while Thorin will soon have only limited net access for a week or so (yay). Plans are going ahead to reshuffle the wing, with Sword Squadron becoming the first dedicated FW squadron - albeit a very small one. Wing comps. continue unabated, while XX continues to lose and whine pitifully!
Wing Competitions
WCC approaches round 4 now, results of 3 should be out shortly... but now the ELIMINATION rounds! Anyhoo, if youve taken part so far, you will be assigned a battle to fly within the specified date. Simply do this and submit the .plt to Bubba (Thorin will be on a LoA)
Second, XWA TC 27is the battle to fly for the XX comp. If any of you fly TIE, fly TIE TC 173. Submissions goto both Archangel and Thorin - further details are -->

As always, Nuno is handling these. His battle report should be out early next week, so I want you all to see what you can fly, and mail Nuno if you want to do more and be assigned some more missions. I want to see more citations, a new pilot means citations go down, so i want 'em back!
