                              Wing News
Another decent month for the Vanguard. I expect June to be better now that weve had a little rest and most schools are out or about to to get out. We might have another big competition coming in July so look for more information on that in the following weeks.

Scorpion Squadron commander has been selected and is pending FO approval.

Python Squadron commander is now open for applications. All interested in submitting an app should check the Vanguard MB for qualification information and then send those to myself, VA Sickman, and AD Darksaber.

Welcome our newest member, SL Hef who joins Hornet Squadron. I encourage all of you to recruit as much as possible as we now have 3 Squadrons that are one member away from a full roster.


                                            Fleet News
1.  With the retirement of RA Spencer, the Avenger COM job is now open for applications. All interested parties should check the T main page for requirements.
2.  Check out the latest edition of the EH newsletter there: EH NL 93
3. The Talarian Gaming network is looking for testers. If you need information or links to their site check the TC news page.

                   Vanguard standing orders
Standing Order #1: (RL) Real Life first!
Of course the first and foremost thing is RL. It is highly recommended to take all RL matters first and before all ship functions, unless you just don't care. I would like to enforce this order to all members. But please be reminded that you should inform your superiors of any situation so that we can count you on LOA, and don't forget to mark your profile stating your on Leave. Even if your only going to be on leave for 2 days, please mark your absence. This way if it takes longer than we know where you are and won't count you as MIA/AWOL.

Standing Order #2: Reports
I expect a Squadron report every week from every Commander on Friday  and Squadron MSE's are due on the 1st unless I am told in advance of a RL situation that prevents you from sending one in on time but I do expect it when you return from leave.  This will get you removed from command immediately.  They must also be uploaded to the database.

Standing Order #3: AWOL's
All AWOL requests must be approved by the WC and the COM before sending them in to the FO.  This is not to resurp your command it is to give us the chance of emailing the pilots personally to try and find out their situations and give them one last chance to get back to active status.
