SALUTE>

TONS of stuff happening this week, I hope I don't forget anything. Anyway, I'm sure you're all curious who got Vortex CMDR...we've come to a decision, but until it is approved by the Flight Office, we'll just hold off on that =P

Squadron Commanders! I did not receive a single squadron report this week. I know you just did your MSEs, but that does not mean you get out of writing a report! Here's the deal: I want Squadron reports submitted to me, RA Khadgar, and your squadron no later than Saturday. CMDRs who consistently submit late reports will not be looked on favorably when they become eligible for promotion.
As for this last week...get those reports written, I should have them on my desk tomorrow or I'll come knocking on your office wondering where your report is.

Anyway, on to the news.

WING NEWS:
-Wing XIII welcomed two new pilots this week! Welcome SL Ghorg who joined Odin and LCM Gruckn Rahn who joined Vortex! I hope to see some great activity from both of you =)

-WING COMMANDER'S OWN! Yes, I am reinstating this honor in Wing XIII. The first Wing Commander's Own of my command goes to Tartarus Squadron! Congratulations to all of you who contributed to Tartarus's great activity for the month of March. You may put "Wing Commander's Own - March 2003" at the bottom of your ID lines.

-CM Maiko Spince is the new FL of flight 3, Tartarus squadron. Nice work Maiko =)

-MSE awards! These have been requested and are awaiting approval from the FO and OPS! Expect your promotions/medals soon!

-MAJ Delak is still on leave with computer problems. CM Choosh is still A-CMDR of Phoenix squadron, keep up the good work Choosh!

FLEET NEWS:
-FA Brad, the EH Security Officer, has resigned due to conflicts of interest with the rest of the Command Staff and GA Ronin. Here's the messageboard thread: http://www.ehnet.org/mb/viewtopic.php?t=5591

-The Emperor's Hammer and the Rebel Squadrons are now officially allies. RA Darknyte, the Lord Ambassador, has negotiated friendly relations with this other huge Star Wars club. Though the EH and the RS have had their differences, hopefully this will mean more opportunites for our clubs to compete and have fun.

-As always, the TAC continues to release new battles and FREE missions to fly. Have at them, boys.

-The position of Commodore of the ISD Challenge is still available. If anyone wanted to apply, get those in soon.

-Rear Admiral Khaen is now the COM of the ISD Subjugator.
