* KAPPA SQUADRON REPORT * MAJ Tempest * August 22nd, 2003 *
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Welcome to the newest Kappa Squadron report. Activity has been a
little low last week, I hope that will improve soon. Actually, I hope
it will improve until midnight. :P


Squadron News
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- The Sovereign League, the comp that kept us busy for some months
now, will end in a few hours. I expect everybody to fly the assigned
battle until then to ensure that we get the third place. See orders
section.

- The Sovereign Summer Caption Contest has ended, and Shimir is one of
the winners. Unfortunately it wasn't enough for a medal, still a
nice success to have the funniest line for one of the pics. :)

- Imperial Storm IV will start in September.

Squadron Orders
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- Fly TIE-TC 194 (attached) for the SL. Deadline is today at midnight,
so hurry up! This will decide if we'll get the third place or only
fourth. Do your best!

- Our comp against Tempest squad ends on Sunday.
The mission is TIE Free 229 (attached). Scoring will be averaged to
squadron strength, so I expect full participation.

Miscellaneous / TC News

- Mr/Ms EH (AD Darknyte)
The Mr/Ms EH pagent has come to an end, not a great voter
turnout...but, I did get a few votes nonetheless. I suppose I
overestimated the ammount of people who read my reports. *pimp*
There's good stuff in them *double-pimp*

Anyway, without further ado, here are this year's winners:

Mr EH: High Admiral Ari, Internet Officer
Ms EH: Major Jaron Kai, WC Wing XVIII

Well, there you have it folks!

- TC 'Competition's Competition' (AD Keldorn Cochrane)
There has been a general decrease in the number of competitions
submitted recently. To provide that little extra incentive I am
sponsoring a small ‘Competition’s Competition’ open to all from
Squadron Commander to Battlegroup Commander; the Officer who submits
(and receives my approval) the most competitions within a period of
one (1) month (18th August to 18 September) will receive the rare
Iron Star Platinum Ribbon and a very large congratulatory
pat-on-the-back from the Training Office.

These competitions should, however, be as inventive and interesting
as I know you are all capable of creating.

- Heroes Flag Winner chosen (VA Darknyte)
Greetings,
We've chosen the winners in the Heroes Flag Competition. We got many
great submissions, but in the end we narrowed it down 2 that we're
gonna use. Winners and rewards are as follows:

1st Place: CPT Tempest (IS-PR)
2nd Place: CPT Chris McCollum (IS-GR)

We'll get your awards handed out as soon as a new OPS officer comes
along to take the reigns.

- Operations Officer Open For Applications (SA Astatine)
Overview
The Operations Officer is responsible for the timely awarding of
medals within the TIE Corps, providing consultive feedback on high
level medals and maintaining the Operations Manual and related
materials.

Selection Criteria - Essential
1. Good written communication skills.
2. An acceptable level of presence on online media such as IRC,
message boards, etc.
3. Fast email response time.
4. The ability to work with a wide range of EH personnel in a
diplomatic fashion.

Selection Criteria - Desirable
1. Graphics and/or HTML ability.
2. Prior experience in a similar position.

You must address each criteria with supporting evidence. Simply
saying "Yes, I can do that" will not be enough. Include specific
examples of your experience. You should meet at least the essential
criteria to be considered for the position. You will be expected to
perform the core duties of the position to an acceptable level. You
must include at least three (3) references. At least one of these
must be a former or current superior, preferably current. Ensure you
have their permission first, as your application will be seen in a
negative light if you have not gained their permission. Applications
should be sent to the Fleet Commander and Executive Officer with the
subject "Application for Operations Officer".
