Lieutenant Colonel Philo reporting in for Yod Squadron 1.05.03


Fleet News:


· There are a few fleet-wide comps running at the moment:
· TAC office banner design—IS-GR through IS-BR for the winners. Entries due 1 Feb.
· TAC office is also attempting to find an "anthem". IS GR-through IS-BR for the winners. Entries also due 1 Feb.
· XO Astatine is running a "Crazy IWATS Christmas Clearance" comp through 14 January. If you haven’t taken many IWATS courses in the past, this is your chance to earn a nice shiny medal for taking lots of them. Details are available at http://www.emperorshammer.net/iwats/xmas.htm On a related note, if you take the TIE Mission design course, I can guarantee a quick turnaround in grading it.


This week’s position shuffle:

· MAJ Mayk Wolverine is the new WC of Wing IV. Welcome, Major.
· COL Khadgar is the new WC of Wing XIII
· The position of Logistics Officer is open for applications. See the Emperor’s Hammer News page for details.
· Good seats still available in the TAC office for TIE testers, as well.



Ship News:


· The Sovereign Battles of the Month for December results out soon *cough*: January battles also TBA soon.
· LC Frodo will be the task force Admiral for the Good Guys in the Sov mega-comp Operation Outrageous Fortune. Once the other team gets a leader, a start date will be announced.

Wing News:

As mentioned above, we’ve got a new Wing Commander. You’ve seen the new orders in the Wing Report, so go do something! :P

Wing IV vs Wing X comp results: Probably out before the next sun goes nova :P. (Inside joke courtesy of the Wing IV message board)

Squadron News/Orders:

News:

· SL Halcyon has been promoted to Lieutenant! Way to go Halc!
· I’m still discussing details for our upcoming XWA comp with Sword Squadron. I’ll let you know when everything’s been set up.
· Now that we’ve got 6 pilots in Yod, we have the ability to run internal comps for medals. I know some of you don’t like competition within the squadron, but it would make more opportunities for activity and medals. I’d like to discuss it on our mailing list, so check your mailboxes soon, and let me know what you think.
· Now that everyone’s supposed to be back from leave, let’s see some activity!


Orders:

Fly the Sov Battles of the Month this month, when they’re announced.
Use the Wing messageboard.
Recruit!
Help us find a sister squadron!

Real, Live Citations: 104

A slight drop, due to the latest database update. Still pretty good, though I’d love to see this number go up soon.
