WEEKLY TCCOM REPORT #116

FROM: TCCOM/HA Elwood the Brave DATE SUBMITTED: 8th July 2017

NEWS HEADLINES

* TCCOM stepping down on 1st August * Theta CMDR stepping down and coming back again * Vet transfers to the RSV * LT returns from long inactivity stint

OVERVIEW

Here we go with another weekly report from your TCCOM's desk. It is a sad news, at least for some of you, that I'll bring to you today. After nearly 2 1/2 years, 3 RtF, countless discussions, competitions, activities, after a good bunch of changes and additions to the TIE Corps, I am coming to the conclusion that my time as your TIE Corps Commander is coming to an end. I've fought enough battles, agonized enough for new ideas, plans for the future of the TIE Corps that might prevent it from falling appart early. Now I am burned out, lost my drive and have only limitted creativeness left. That's why I think it is time for some one new at the helm. Grand Admiral Rapier and the TCCS members have already been informed and are talking about the future TIE Corps Commander. They'll surely make an announcement about it, as soon as they have made up their mind. I am sure there will be a fitting replacement for me when I retire to a Flight Member position on August, 1st. Until then I still have 3 more TCCOM reports to do. It has been a pleasure to serve all of you at the helm of the TIE Corps as your TIE Corps Commander for the past 2 1/2 years. There are a lot of people that helped me to keep the TIE Corps running during this time, to many to name them all, so I'll just thank the most important ones here, those most important to me. Pel, you were my Strategic Operations Officer, my XO and right hand from the verry first day as TCCOM on. We didn't know much about each other back then, but during the past 2 years I've learned a lot about you. You are one of the most loyal and dedicated leader I had the pleasure of meeting. Without your help, your ffriendship and your backup I surely wouldn't have survived more than the first couple of weeks as TCCOM. There are not enough words to thank you for all your service, your help and your friendship. Dempsey, you've not been the frontline guy when it comes to the TCCS work, but your database knowledge, your work with and at the database were what made my administrative workload doable. When ever we had an issue, you found a solution for it. I really appreciate what you are doing for the TC and the EH in all positions you held, present and past. Hawkins, you're tenure as COO was a damn successful one. We've had a lot of interesting chatts about ideas and issues in the COO and the TIE Corps as a whole. I always valued your input and it was hard to see you drift away when your real life forced you to step back and limit your activity here in the TIE Corps. Silvius, the youngest adition to the TCCS, but what an addition you are. I can't even think about a job here in the TIE Corps that would completely eat up your energy and dedication. But that just describes what you do to the TIE Corps. Much more important to me is the deep friendship that has built up between the two of us from our first match in SC way back when you joined the TIE Corps as a Sub-Lieutenant. Keep up your dedication to your work here. Keep doing what your doing, and, most of all, keep having fun! Don't let the administrative work eat up your fun, buddy! When ever you need something, I'll be there! There are many more people out there that touched my heart and sould since I took the TCCOM spot, but naming them all would surely breack the limits for this report. Now on to some more important news. Last week saw 2 RSV transfers and 2 returns from the RSV. First Colonel MArk SChueler stepped down from Theta CMDR and took his shuttle to the Phoenix, just to take the next shuttle back from the Phoenix to Theta's baracks again. Next shuttle to the Phoenix was that for General Dax Corrin. Sadly he didn't find his way back to us with the next shuttle. But a long time Lieutenant took a shuttle from the farthest of the unknown regions back to us as Thet 1-2. Welcome home, Lieutenant Teemer. It's good to have you back. Gentlemen, it is that time of the month again. MSEs/MShipEs are due. Commanders, get your MSEs to your COMs ASAP! They need those to put together the MShipEs that will make us capeable of rewarding our pilots activities! The position of Sigma CMDR is still open for applications. Until a suiting candidate is found, Colonel Len Eode has taken over as acting Sigma CMDR. Thanks for this, Len!
