I am offering a ISM per recruit (Cadet and RSV's alike) and a PC per 5 recruits, so theres a chance for you to get lots of medals and to help not only the squad but also the wing.)

***~Competition Center~***

* Tempest Recruiting Comp
(http://www.ehtiecorps.org/competitions/details.asp?id=1792)
Its a pretty simple comp: it starts march 1st, and it runs for two months.
For every two recruits that goes to the wing, you receive an IS-BR (I want copies of the e-mails when you have first contacted the recruit).
For every recruit that comes to Tempest, you receive na IS-BR The person who has recruited the most in the first month receives na IS-BR, and the Second Month too, so, there are a lot of medal opportunities.
The recruits can come either from the PLT Daedalus, or from FRG Phoenix.
As you can see, this competition is a long term thing for us to fill all the positions available in the squadron, and to help where we can in the wing...
I would like everyone to participate....Just contact people in Daedalus offering help, or contact an old friend in the reserves, and try to get them in here....It’s best for everyone when we have a full house.

* Wait for further news about another comps

***~Dark Lord of the Week~***

The highly prestigious title of Dark Lord of the Week is only given to the person who has most advanced the success of the Squadron, amused the CMDR, or slipped me the most $5 notes in a brown paper bag. This week's winner is:

Prost, for being active!!!


***~Ewok of the Week~***

Yub Yub!
Every story has a hero, every journey has a first step, every Fleet has a pilot who's about as much use as an ashtray on a speeder bike. This weeks's Prize Ewok is none other than:

Me, for being late to do CMDR stuff......


***~Quote of the Week~***

Locke: “LC Chris McCollum must also be congratulated upon now offically being placed as Tempest's new FL3, despite previous reports of anti-promotion FM LCM Prost being the new FL3 for Tempest. Such reports were most certainly a simple mistake and not at all misinformation designed to make P go crazy and give us all a good laugh. The Challenge would never and has never stooped to such tactics for a good time... reeeeeeally ;P”


***~Final Comments~***

This ends my fourth report as Tempest Squadron Commander.....People….GO RECRUIT!!!!! Cya all soon.
