Hey Squadron Report for July 22nd through July 25th 2003.

Hey Hey! Time for another Hey Squadron Report. And this one's on time! I
think this calls for drinks for everyone! With only a few days from my last
late report, not a lot of news worthy items spring to my mind, but I'm
getting old and the mind is probably going. Anyway, let's do it!

SQUADRON NEWS
--------------------------

The Wing III mailing list has been quite busy the past couple of days. Busy
enough that my Inbox has been full for a while and I've just cleaned it out.
If anyone has anything for me, please re-send it.

Our lady Mirax just celebrated her birthday. Happy B-Day! There was some
talk of spanking over the Wing list, though I'm not sure who was being
spanked and who was doing the spanking...:P

Other than that, I can't think of anything...

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

My mind's going. Read Hobbie's Wing Report. :P

Commendation of Loyalty Recommendations
19:37 - VA Khaine [sheepy@ihug.co.nz]
The bi-annual awarding of the Commendation of Loyalty to members of the
Emperor's Hammer who have displayed tremendous dedication to the Fleet is
fast approaching. Details for the Tiecorps are listed below, refer to the
Operations Office Report for other EH subgroups.

Each Squadron Commander can make recommendations to their Wing Commander who
will choose three (3) members of their wing to receive the CoL and forward
the names to their Commodore and Battlegroup Commodore. Each BGCOM may
recommend up to three (3) more awards for their flag officers. The
Battlegroup Commander will collate the awards for their battlegroup and
forward the names (with pin numbers) to the Flight Officer
(fo@emperorshammer.org) and myself (ops@emperorshammer.org).

Additionally, the Commander of each Elite Squadron may recommend one (1) of
their members to receive the CoL. This should be sent directly to the Flight
Officer and myself. Therefore the FO and I should only be receiving CoL
recommendations from the Battlegroup Commanders and the Commanders of the
Elite Squadrons.

All recommendations must be submitted to myself (and the Flight Officer) by
the 19th of August. Late submissions will be rejected. If there are any
questions, please ask and don't leave it until the last minute.
