Tactical Officer Report # 112

Introduction:
112th Tactical Office Report. Almost a year as TAC, almost 4 years in EH. A long road I have walked, and a long journey wait for me. Yes. This means TAC is going to say here. I feel my journey has just began. And there is so much to do.
And I have a lot of idea. Some of them can be seen in "Projects" section, rest is in planning phase. You will see them sooner or later. And now, usual stuff :)

CA:TAC on forced leave
Due to fires in California, my CA is on forced leave. I am really concerned about him. Philo, take care!

EHBL problems
If you have any problem with running EHBL, mail ME, SCO and CA:TAC and try to be as much specific as you can. We will help you, we always do. .zips are not coming back, but if you need them, you can mail me and ask so I will FW it to you. Use EHBL, it's easy and it's working. Ask for help, and we will find a solution. Stop complaining and give us a chance to help you.

Final word:
I have more time now, but still use mail. I am on IRC from time to time and I try to join EH/TC meetings, but sometimes I am unable to do this. Mail me, or my Command Attaché with any questions or simply join #tac and ask your question there. I am sure someone will be able to answer it.
