Squadron News
-I've returned from my countryside leave´and as someone in the squadron mentioned, you survived the Wemmel :p
And by the way, Jan I want a set of those speakers to use in my room ;)
-CT TK-9135 AKA John Mullins, is currently awaiting for his IWATS core grading, and guess what: after he graduates, he'll join Kappa! We'll be all waiting for you! Dude, get ready for some ethilic saturation...for the rest of your TC career :p
-Reb has got a very well deserved promotion! Congratulations, mean practical jokes, stripper dancers and beer bills go to LCM Reb Crush!
-As I sense a feel of boredom amongst Kappa (or maybe it is all my head, but whatever :p) I am currently on the lookout for a rival on a squad comp again. Only thing is that even with the victory, we'll need to do better next time.
-This week's Ol' Roasty's word o' advice: "When riding horses, never get overexcited and try to run on your first day on a young horse. You might end up with your arse on the floor. And it didn't happen to me. You don't believe me? you ask why I'm rubbing my arse? Reuma. You still don't believe me? gahh, go chase a cow, lamers :p"

Squadron Orders
- We're engaged in a FCHG race through March with Wing IV! Fly till you drop, and then fly some more!! If you are one of the two top FCHG gatherers, you will get a nice medal! GOOO!! TOP PRIORITY!!
- Also take all IWATS courses you didn't take already!! FA Kramer has launched a "Learning campaign" on the Sovereign, and each course you pass is worth a point (and an enormous extent of you currently limited knowledge ;p) Most point gatherer, most likely to win a medal. PRIORITY! too.
- As soon as the results are released, a new round of the Wing II Pilot League will be sent. Neededless to say, I want ya all participants taking on it.
- Submit to the Kappa Cadet Guide. PRIORITY!!

Miscellaneous
- Reminder on skipping missions
In addendum to the Tactical Office's order, if you are skipping missions on a regular basis, forcing the Tactical Officer to have to bring up your record again and again to remove battles you didn't fully complete, you will be sent to the HCI on charges of cheating, which results in many steep punishments.
We understand mistakes happen, but repeat offenders who feel they can abuse the system will face the consequences.

- Skipping Missions
Recently, it has come to my attention that pilots have been simply playing 5/6 of a battle (or X-1/X) and submitting it, saying they skipped the last mission. According with the Tactical Manual, i have issued Tactical Order #001.
Tactical Order #001
Admiral StarLion
Persons having skipped a mission in a battle MUST fill out a legitimate bug report on that battle in order to receive credit for that battle.
If the Tactical Office discovers you are NOT doing so, the BSF's in question will be removed from your record, irregardless of previously completed entries for said battle.
(Quoted from: The Tactical Manual)
You may not skip more than one mission. You may NOT skip Free Missions. You may NOT skip a mission just because you do not want to fly it.
- EH finishes 4th in WoW
After a week of XWA multiplayer battling with 84 other clubs, the EH earned its second BSC medal for fighting its way to 4th place! Congratulations go out to COL Dras Hempor who finished as 8th overall pilot, and CPT Lito Rendal who finished 10th, both earning their own personal BSC medals. Thanks to all who participated, bringing glory and honor to our club!
- Newsletter #72 released
The Executive Officer Sector Admiral Kawolski has released the new EH Newsletter (#72) for public viewing!

-CA:TAC2 / TCHC Sought
With the moving of Admiral Havoc to CA:FO, the position of CA:TAC2 is open. I will be accepting applications for this position starting now. Please keep in mind the following things.
A CA position is a Full Time position. You will be removed from all other positions, with extremely few exceptions.
You will spend hours going over Beta Tester Reports, organizing them, sending files to the Tacticians for correcting or to me for placement on the board, and flying corrected battles yourself. Ideally, you should be expected to be able to fly 7 battles in approximately 2 to 2 1/2 weeks.
It is REQUIRED that you own ALL major platforms (TIE,XvT,XWA).
It is REQUIRED that you be able to handle repetitive work, such as filing reports, and managing the team.
You MUST be able to answer email within an appropriate time (24/36 hrs at most).
Interested applicants should email Admiral StarLion with the subject of the email reading "CA:TAC2 Application"...any application without that subject will be ignored. If you try to ask me about it on IRC, your application will be ignored.
Applications will close March 10th.
