Fleet Admiral Cyric reporting in for the Flight Office on 8/20/04

I've been processing a great many new recruits as of late. Things have picked up for the TC averaging approx 4-5/day. I can say that a good amount of these are for Freeworlds.

I'd like to remind everyone that every member can participate in FW events and get credit for them. How should CMDRs in non freeworlds squadrons submit activity etc. Everything is listed on the the Predator's Mission statement written by HA Priyum. Please check this out if you have ANY questions about Free Worlds.

A reminder about reports: Squadron CMDRS are weekly, WC's are Weekly, COM's are every two weeks, and BGCOM's should be weekly. My Staff is currently actively keeping track of all reports, when they are in and when and if they are loaded into the database. Notices will be sent to the parties that are delinquent in reporting!

Recently I've had a few requests for some members to be promoted to the rank of General while they are in FM or FL spots in squadrons. This is not allowed, nor will I ever allow this. However...

The rank of General is probably the most prestigious of all the ranks in the TieCorps. Very difficult to earn and highly respected, it is often reserved for Elite members who exhibit activity and loyalty above and beyond as well as Wing Commanders.

My exception to the "normal" squadron rule is that if a pilot comes from the reserves or transfers into a squadron and they held the General rank, they shall be allowed to retain it. These pilots have earned it, thus earning the right to keep the rank.

If a high ranking member RA and greater retires and comes back to the TC in a squadron FM position they sall revert to the traditional COL rank if they've never held the General rank before gaining their Admiral bars.
