ISDII HAMMER REPORT #153 (2020.07) |
REPORTING OFFICER: Admiral Miles 'Tails' Prower, Commodore |
INTRODUCTION |
Good Saturday afternoon Hammer pilots! Firstly I have some sizable news. As of yesterday, the TIE Corps Commander has decided on his successor in the role of Strategic Operations Officer. That will be chaired by none other than our esteemed Combat Operations Officer Vice Admiral John T. Clark, who has been a fixture on the Hammer, serving as Flight Leader and Commander of Delta Squadron, then later Flight Member and Combat Operations Officer's Assistant in Delta, and coming over to Epsilon Squadron as Flight Leader then later Squadron Commander. John is a dedicated pilot and has served the Corps faithfully since 2004 and I am especially proud to have had him aboard the Hammer. But we'll be working together in close quarters because Fleet Admiral Plif has chosen the next Combat Operations Officer in one fell swoop. Sources say the new COO is a rather odd duck with a penchant for smoking a pipe in briefings, drinking tea and using thermal detonators for golf balls. Well the fox is out of the den. Yes, I'm going to be taking over the Combat Operations Centre aboard the VSDII Aggressor. But I'm going to always cherish the ISDII Hammer. We have hosted aces, we've developed new commanders and even gotten one to General, and we've even become the flagship. But it's not because of me. It's because of you. Every one of you from Flight Member to Squadron Commander, all of you have contributed to our victories. All I've done is just lend a listening ear and some gentle guidance. And that's what leadership is about, it's about equipping your people with the tools that they need for success, some wisdom and reassurance. I'll be taking applications of course (mailed as well up to Plif and John) for the person who next sits in this chair. I only ask that you've had squadron command experience but also the willingness to be in it for the long haul and to lead from the front. Be an advocate for your squadrons and have a bit of fun in the process. I intend to see a lot of screenshots coming up for approval from Hammer pilots. The change of command will effectively occur on 9 May 2020 to allow for the last evaluation cycle to run through properly. Please have your last MSEs for me completed in a timely manner :) We are holding Combat Event #156 'TC PvP Shootout' which was enacted by Colonel Horus Blackheart today at 6 PM Eastern/11 PM GMT. There is a DFC for the top scoring pilot and IS-BWs at hand for those participating in at least 10 matches or more. Remember when submitting your screenshots that you reference Combat Event #156. We'll be meeting at GameRanger (http://gameranger.com) and if you need someone to get you in, feel free to add me at 'AD Miles Prower'. Voice comms will be in #hangar at the TIE Corps Discord which you can always find either in my e-mail signature as of today or in the Competitions and Events section of this report. Openings: Alpha Squadron (MAJ Alejandro Araujo) 3-2 Beta Squadron (COL Doyon) FM 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4 Delta Squadron (GN Phoenix Berkana) FM 1-2, 2-4 FL 2-1 Epsilon Squadron (GN Elwood The Brave) FM 2-3, 3-4 |
