By the way, this comp revolves around the ISD Relentless, so it'll look REALLY bad if we lose :P

WING NEWS
--------------------

1. ECR STANDINGS
It's Over. We're second. Soon the SS will be awarded to the MVP. I am sooo deleting this section in WWR #10.


2. WC's OWN COMP
Whichever squadron participates the most in the casino comp wins.

3. MSE TIME!
All medals have been awarded, except one. A BIG apology to CM Fox, his promotion did not go through. I feel like an ass.

4. **RECRUITMENT DRIVE** - #1 PRIORITY
Our numbers are lower than they have ben since our last recruitment drive, so it's about time for another. We realy need to get some new blood in here, go for rl and reservists, stay away from cadets. I will be VERY generously awarding everyone who brings in recruits.

5. WEEKLY ACTIVITY
I want to see stuff I can submit to the EH newsletter to promote Wing IX. Each submission get's you a medal in and of itself, plus I'll offer ISM/PC if you send me enough stuff to merit it. This is something easy to do, the newsletter will publish just about anything, so let's get out there and make ourselves known.

6. ELITE MP COMP
The elite MP comp IS on. So far, we are down 4 - 0 (!). All you people who signed up, I'm waiting to get some winning results back :) Remember to email me and COL Nightmare the match results as well as submit them for LoC's.

THE WING IX MORALE OFFICE
-----------------------------------------------
A Rant from the Desk of Colonel Steve the Cricket Bat ...

Your mother always told you to wear clean underwear. Well, just
'cause you're now out on your own is no reason to stop taking her
advice.

Here's the story on cleaning the polypropylene undershirt and drawers.
They're part of the Extended Flight Clothing System (EFCS).

Machine Washing

Wash your undershirt and drawers on the delicate wash cycle. Wash them
in cold water using a cold water detergent such as Liquid Tide or ERA.
Rinse in cold water, too.

Never add starch or chlorine bleach to the wash water. They can fade
the underwear, weaken the fabric and shorten its life.

Hand Washing

You can also wash your undershirt and drawers by hand. Again, use cold
water and cold water detergent. Rinse thoroughly in clean, cold water.
And don't use starch or bleach.

Drying

Tumble dry on the permanent press setting for 30 minutes. Keep a close
watch on the underwear and remove them as soon as they're dry. Do not
overdry underwear or they'll shrink.

If you prefer to drip dry them, wring out all the water first. Then
hang them on a rust-proof hanger.

ACTIVITY

Let's all get in shape for the TCCOM's own comp, the casino thing. Everyone has to participate, even if you can't fly, write fiction. You only have to do one or the other, but more is preffered and will get you better medals. Don't forget the Avenger MP comp, we're losing, so get out there and fly!!

STANDING ORDERS
-------------------------------

-ALL MEMBERS-

Weekly Contact
At the very minimum, all members of the Wing will make contact with thier direct superior at least one time per week, VIA EMAIL. This is the very minimum to be considered active in Wing IX. If you intend to be off of the internet for more then (5) days, email your Commander and let him or her know as a common courtesy. If you are taking a Leave of Abscense more then ten (10) days, notify your Commander -AND- the Wing Commander via email.


-SQUADRON COMMANDERS-

Weekly Squadron Reports (WSRs)
WSEs will be submitted NLT 12.00PM each Thursday by email to the Wing Commander, Your Squadron, and the Wing IX Email List. Also, each report must contain statistics for Total missions flown, and IWATS passed.

Monthly Squadron Evaluations (MSEs)
MSEs will be submitted to the Wing Commander NLT the last day of the month. It should cover activity throughout the whole month.

AWOLs / MIAs / Reserve Requests
If you have found a pilot to be AWOL (no contact in 30 days), or MIA (bad email address), or a pilot has requested to go the reserves, you WILL NOT make the database request yourself. Forward the relevant information to the Wing Commander, who will verify the information, and make one last effort to 'save' the pilot before he or she is removed from the wing. This is NOT to take authority away from the CMDRs, but to allow the flags to ensure that a pilot really wants to leave. A good example is a pilot whos pissed off at his CMDR and has requested the reserves, when it's entirely possible the pilot would be happy in another squadron.

Flight Leaders
EVERY Flight Leader position in the Wing will ALWAYS be filled. If your Flight Leader leaves the squadron for whatever reason, you will appoint a new Flight Leader immediately. The Flight Office requires that all three flights have a leader in order for new pilots to be placed in that Squadron. We will not miss any opportunity for new pilots!

Designated XO
Every Squadron will have a designated XO. This person will know what he or she needs to do in the event that you are unable to come online, specifically in the area of filing a report for you.
