Squadron news

COL Gunman joins us in Omicron, it is an honor to have you here sir! Welcome!
CM Wap Eal is wrestling with a new computer! Should be back up and running this weekend.
Good Luck Wap! ;)
LT Zhong is still on leave for a few weeks yet, hope everything is go'in good Charlie! :)
CM Trowa, you were looking so promising! You have this week to contact me, or......, well,
you know the consequences.
Try to do some recruiting! Compose a short letter, concise and to the point, for recruiting.
Remember, no direct recruiting of cadets, just tell them about the ship, squad, ect. And offer
assistance with any problems they might have. Also skim over the reserve list for potential
members. You would be surprised what a few emails can achieve! I have sent out dozens of
letters, to cadets and reservists, not to many responses, but I did receive some! Now get out
there and ACTIVELY recruit! :)

Miscellaneous

Even though he is a member of Omicron now, I was not pleased with Gunny's choice to step
down as our Commodore. He did a wonderful job for us! At least he is sticking around and
will still be a valuable asset to the ship and this squad!
The retirement of GA Ronin was a surprise to myself as well as a lot of others! I have read a lot
of scuttlebutt on IRC about this subject. All I can do is my duty, whoever is in charge. Besides,
when they are that far up the ladder, they don't even know I exist, except for a number! :)
Now, after I have put in 10 yrs of service, I may be well known. That's what it takes if you
want to achieve great things in the corp. Joining and being active for a month or so will never
cut the mustard, folks! The TC is full of dedicated people that luv this club and will keep it
going for another 10 yrs! Imagine what computers will be like in another 10 yrs.
(Scuslem ponders,"will I be able to fly Tie Fighter in 10 yrs?)

That's about it for this week, remember, RECRUIT!

Standing orders

The official Omicron Squadron Standing Orders:

Part A: For Everyone:
1) Abide all Colossus standing orders.

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

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 participating 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 MSN Messenger, IRC or e-mail. 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.
