Greetings Intrepid, and welcome to a new report!!
My apologies for the lateness of this report, but the training schedule I've been running under for my new RL job has been chaotic to say the least. Fortunately I completed my training yesterday and in a few short hours will be heading over to the new store I'll be permanently working at to help unload the first truck with the fixtures and other equipment we'll need to put the store together over the next five weeks. Ah the burden of being in charge in RL as well. In the meantime my online presence will be relatively scarce most of this week because of the fact that we are getting slammed with nearly 60 trucks loaded with equipment and product starting on Tuesday, so I'll be extremely busy. However I will be making a point to check my email as often as I can, answer and handle any questions or problems, and continue to remind everyone about the SC and why it's so important that we WIN! ;)
This is the last full week of the SC, and so far the Mutt has a minor lead over us on the SC site. However, over the weekend the BGCOM made his final decision that ALL Battle Citations gained throughout the SC will count at the end, so ultimately those points will push us well over the top at the end of the SC and we'll be victorious! I want to give special thanks to the crews from Krayt and Diamondback Squadrons who have worked extremely hard during this SC and have shown what is expected of every Squadron during these competitions! ;)
The EH Operations Officer, FA Howlader, has officially retired and a new replacement has been reportedly found and will be announced very soon. In the meantime you can expect some temporary delays on getting any medals approved until the new OPS is in place and fully up to speed on his/her new duties.
On 1/25 I was going to announce the start of a mini-comp for the Intrepid, however there was some delay in getting the competition approved even though I had submitted a full week beforehand. In any case the comp is now approved and the details can be found in the Competitions section below. I will be modifying the start and end dates since the comp was approved late, and I hope to see some great and interesting submissions. :)
The EH Internet Office and the TIE Corps FO have agreed on some new standards for all webpages related to the TC. You can find more info below in the ASF/TC News section. I strongly urge every CMDR to ensure that you're sites are up to the new standards by the deadline. CPT Drako, you can expect an email from me later about getting the Int/W14 site completed and up to date with these standards as well. :P
A change in policy
04:17 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
Due to the amount of harassment I am getting on IRC from certain parties, I will no longer be conducting EH business over IRC. I am there to relax. If you contact me on IRC about EH business, I will ignore you. I will only be conducting EH business via email from now on.

FA Priyum and I have devised new standards for all TIE
Corps homepages in an attempt to raise the quality of TC sites. All sites are
expected to comply with the standards within 2 weeks (by February 9). Officers
whose sites do not comply within the allotted time face removal from their
current position.
The new guidelines are located at http://www.ehnet.org/guidelines.php#tcguides.
