TAU REPORT
Report number : 17 (datalog 9/21/2003)
Captain Abel Malik reporting for Major Adrren Silvori,

ACTING COMMANDERS ADDRESS

Welcome Tau pilots to yet another briefing. I'm quite pleased with the activity of most the squadron; however. some people do need to wake up and help participate- especially in the Tau vs Prae comp (we're getting beat there and badly)! As MAJ Silvori often say's we are a XvT&XWA squadron at heart; however, don't let that limit what you choose to fly for single-player activity. After what seems like months we have a new EHOP's and several Tau's received medals over the week.

And as MAJ Silvori said last week:
"Flight III flight leader- MAJ Delak, is most busy in real life at the moment, and his activity is a little bit short. While he always meets the min requirements, it's not enough to justify his position as a flight leader at this time." So keep this in mind and when our CMDR returns feel free to apply for the position.

Everyone needs to thank BGCOM VA Khaen for their medals. VA Khaen handled processing our July/August TAU Squadron medal requests to the new EH Operations Officer for our CMDR. Thank-you Khaen.

EHCOC Update
09:11 - VA Kyle Katarn [Kyle.Katarn@isdcolossus.com]


I am sorry for my lack of time in the past.

Here is a lil update.

I awarded the scores given to me when the bot was down
I will announce a COOA tomorrow
I finally got time to award the EHCOC Banner Comp Medal. An IS-GR goes to CPT Abel Malik. Congratz!
Also the Bot is working again. I got today a mail again!
Commendations of Loyalty
20:47 - RA Alex Foley [afoley@rawx.net]
All outstanding Commendations of Loyalty have now been awarded and approved. If anyone is missing theirs, please e-mail me at afoley@rawx.net.
Internet Office Assitant Needed
11:58 - HA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]


The Internet Office would like to heartily congratulate our very own Alex Foley upon his appointment as the new Operations Officer. However, we're also sad to see him leave his stellar career as IOA. Obviously, that means I require a replacement. This IOA position that needs to be filled is a rather important one, with many duties. However, it can be the most rewarding (as Alex Foley can testify...) as well. Some primary duties will include:

Being responsible for finding a SOTW and poll every week
Having initiative to start new projects and see them out to completion
Assisting in EHW development (preferably on the PHP side)
Working closely with a variety of CS members
Must have a strong IRC presence.
Must have PHP experience (usually I don't mandate this, and I'll even accept ASP, but in this one case it matters)
Graphics capability desirable, but not necessary
If you feel you are qualified for this position, please apply to me (ari@tiecorps.org). Being an IOA means you'll be exposed to a lot of the fleet, not just TC, so you should have a personable and confident character. It also means you'll be working on some of the more important projects going on in the fleet. I will accept requests to transfer to full-time IOA (in which case I have promotion authority) if the successful applicant so desires. Please include 1 or 2 references in your application, as well as a minimum of 2-3 examples of your PHP and/or graphics work. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

------------------------------------------------------------------

TAU DEPARTURES:

none, which is always a good thing.

TAU ARRIVALS:

none this week, keep your eyes open for skilled multi-player & single-player pilots to fill our ranks as always.

TAU RECRUITMENT:
Keep you eyes open for new pilots people, IF they're good enough, talk to them and talk to CMDR Silvori when he returns from leave.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SQUADRON ORDERS:

Fly FXWA88 for part three of the TAU vs PRAE comp, all files are due to me at ezwill@famvid.com before September 26th. I'm keeping track of everyone's activity so send all activity reports to me while our CMDR is gone until the begining of October.

SQUADRON CITATIONS:
This week fly either XvT-TC14 or XWA-TC15 to add to our squadron citations.

Remember our CMDR wants at least one LoC or battle/mission per week for minimum activity. Neither of us likes to see "reported in" or mIRC activity alone.
