SSL Round 4 participation was excellent in both TIE and XWA!
(assuming Artyis and Todbringer both flew, that is, we had 100% in TIE and damned close to 100% in XWA...)
Squadron News:
- MAJ Manijak has left the squadron to become CA:RO.
Congrats, Manny!
(and isn't that frightening, two former Omegans in charge of the RO... hehe)
- COL Ixion shifted to FL-2. Congrats, X!
- MAJ Artyis shifted to FL-3. Congrats, Artyis!
- Evidently I picked up a PC back in March, only OPS forgot to tell me. Thanks, Proton!
- I finally got XWA working. Not entirely stable, but it works. XWA/EHBL should be a straightforward operation, at least in theory...
Squadron Orders:
- Sovereign Squadron League 2004 ROUND 5, Due May 14!
TIE-FREE 213, XWA-FREE 108, XvT-FREE 11.
I just flew TIE-FREE 213, tips went out a few minutes ago...

HA Priyum would like information about merit medal awards for the MoH, IC, OoR, and GoE, specifically before 2000. E-mail him at spellfire@btinternet.com. (hmm, as a former CA:OPS, I had better check my records...)
- Sov Message Board: Birth of Wing VII run-on started
http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=2121
Per AD Proton: "This run-on is open to all TIE Corps personnel. The objective is to tell the story of the birth of Wing VII, the special operations wing recently opened on the SSSD Sovereign. IS-PR, IS-GR and IS-SR will be awarded. The comp will be judged by LC Guthwulf and AD Proton. Stay on topic, and have fun! "

Activity Reports:
CMDR/COL Brian - flew TIE-FREE 185, XWA-FREE 113, realized he was awarded a PC back in March by Proton. (thanks again, Proton!)
FM/GN Compton - managed to squeeze in TIE-FREE 185 instead of sleep.
FL/COL Ixion Deathbringer - flew TIE-FREE 185, XWA-FREE 113. Promoted to FL-2.
FM/LC Yoman - flew TIE-FREE 185, XWA-FREE 113.
FL/MAJ Artyis - Promoted to FL-3. running Sov Squadron League...
FM/COL Todbringer - running Sov Squadron League...
No word from Todbringer or Artyis all weekend, but I assume both were busy celebrating the fact that Poland joined the EU on Saturday. That's one of the best excuses for drunken revelry, and I'm not holding it against them. Well, maybe I am if they forgot to drink a few beers for me. ;)
Manijak's retirement and reassignment CA:RO was the biggest thing this week. Losing interest in flying TIE is hard, but he's found a new outlet as CA:RO, which should work to everyone's benefit. Congrats again, Manijak!
This brings squadron strength down to 6, which means contacting new recruits is now imperative. We have one additional possible recruit thanks to Yoman... that means I need to contact 4 of them...
