AWOL CHECK AND FLS
I want to remind you FLs are supposed to send me a short report of the flight activity each week (just: SL Steve flew battle 4, LT John passed IWATS Core ...). It is a way to me to see if you deserve your flight leader position; FLs are potential CMDR, and it is a way for you to learn the basics of management. FLs are to keep contact with their flight members and to answer any questions they have ( FM can directly ask me too of course)
The most deserving FMs will get the FL positions if these orders are not respected.
COMPS
-November Wing X TIE Comp; (EH Battle 63) three entries (LT Wet Willy, SL Veers, CPT Striker).The deadline is December, 7th. LCM Dave do you still have problems ?
-AHG Motto Contest: still on ? MAJ Torres ? (3 entries for Tornado for now)
That has to do something with storms or natural disasters. (i.e. The Black Storm of Darkness, or The Imperial Stormfront) those are just examples of course.
-INPR Comp: ISM for the best pilot bio (deadline December 7th). Just got LT Wet Willy's one. Good job...
And think about your Tornado ship's nickname.....;)
BATTLE BOARD
It has been updated last weekend. 3 high scores for LT Wet Willy and twenty for myself ! In the TOP6 Pilots !!!!
TORNADO TRAINING OFFICE
LT Wet Willy is working on a new TIE Battle...be ready for action !

SUBGROUPS
Some news from DB and IW...
The Dark Brotherhood Forces are heading towards the M/PLT Tranquility for the final assault. Operation Deepstrike will end Saturday...it should be a great success ! The Infiltrator Wing is recruiting ! If you want to join the subgroup and fly Rebel Crafts against the New Republic, just email me. ( And I could get a medal for the Recruiting Comp ;))).
COMMS
IRC: I assist every week at the EH Meetings on ##Emperor's_Hammer, on Undernet, at 1200 GMT-5 (US Est Coast Time). Come ! it is always a good way to learn new events, meeting people...I could set up an IRC briefing if there are enough people at this time.
MBs: feel free to use TC, EH or Tornado Message Boards. You should earn MoC posting on the EH MB (as soon as the new Asssistant to the Communication Officer (COMMA) will be chosen)(I applied for, someone has to do the job !)
