TIE Corps Command Report
Weekly Report #33 – Submission date: October 27th 2013
Introduction

Greetings,

New database updates: this week a new TC banner was added by COL Zósite to the banners page, and the “TIE Corps on IRC” page was created. Check them out. Profile updating also continues, this time for High Admiral Frodo March. He is the leader of the reservist movement, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care ;)

Phase 4 of The Karana Initiative is half way through, and we have seen many submissions already, which pleases me. If you haven’t flown the mission yet, give it a shot and help your squadron become my escort, if you’re crazy enough to want that job, that is…

I have composed the message I intend to send to the reservists and inactives. However, it is very difficult these days to be able to send an e-mail to so many recipients at once, so my only choice was to create a mailing list just for that. Still, google groups only allows 100 adds each day, so I might only be able to send the mail tomorrow. Don’t worry, Frothy and Tempest, I won’t add you…I find that would be dangerous for the purpose of the message :P

Medal of Communications for September have been awarded. Congratulations to FA Jarek La’an, HA Daniel Bonini, COL Mark Schueler, COL Dunta Polo, LC Elwood the Brave, GN Gilad Pellaeon, CM Matthew Weeks, LC Gyssler, LC Michael Emrys, COL Zósite Konstyte Styles, LC Impulse, CPT John T. Clark, CM Kyle Kroan, HA Anahorn Dempsey and CM Shado Fenn for their Bronze Oak Clusters, and special congrats to COL Exar Kit and CM Lanil Jast for their Gold Oak Clusters!

LC Elwood the Brave is on leave of absence until November 5th. Until then, Gamma pilots are to send all pilot files and anything else to me and FA La’an.

To ensure full and accurate records, all BSF e-mails should be copied to the SOO and the TCCOM, we don't want to miss anyone!
Top 3 scorers for the battle overall will receive an IS-GW/SW/BW respectively.
At the closing of the comp the pilot holding any of the mission high scores will be awarded an IS-BW, if they hold two this will be an IS-SW, if three or more an IS-GW.
The squadron with greatest participation will be named TCCOM's Escort Squadron until the next Karana flight phase, all pilots within that squadron who flew will receive an additional IS-BW. Participation will be assessed simply on number of pilots, not as any percentage or similar measure, as per Phase 1-3 of the competition.
