Yikes, it's Monday! I apologize for the lateness of this
report, this has been a pretty crazy weekend (Labor Day weekend and all) for me.
That being said, there really isn't a whole lot to report for this week. I've
started a competition to get ideas for Wing I's motto and nickname, so email me
if you have any suggestions. You might get a little something for it. Things
seem to be going well in the squadrons so far. I'm seeing a good amount of
flight activity and people seems to be involved in and interested in getting
their squadrons mottos/nicknames/ships etc set up. This is around the time I'd
like to see some flight competitions coming out, so lets start thinking about
that!
Former CMDRs, those of you who were a CMDR before the restructure, if you
haven't yet already PLEASE send me an August evaluation for your squadron. If
anything, at least send just a list of medals that should be awarded to your
pilots. I just want to make sure everyone gets credit for their activity for the
month of August. Current CMDRs, your MSEs will not be due until October.
Recruitment. This is something that needs to happen if this restructure
is to succeed. If you have ideas, discuss it on the TC mail group! If you know
friends that may be interested in joining (even if it means borrowing your copy
of an XW game and having them only fly once a month), by all means talk to them
about it! In light of how desperate we are for new members and to really show
how big of a deal recruiting new members to our club right now is, for a limited
time I will be offering a Gold Star of the Empire for every three new
members you bring into active duty! That means both new recruits and
retired members. To be eligible for this award, you need to inform me of your
successful recruitment. I will then verify you are in fact the recruiter and
start a tally for you. Remember, if you do not inform me of your recruit, I
won't count it towards your tally! This is a limited time offer, and I will stop
offering the medal if it has absolutely no effect for a long period of time or
if it becomes extremely popular to the point where I cannot justify giving such
a high award any longer. So go out there and start recruiting! We only need a
couple new faces to open Wing I's remaining squadron, and just a handful more
until we can open Wing II!
Roster Status
COL Zeth Durron -> IN to Beta Squadron
LC Quincy Nelson -> IN to Epsilon Squadron
Total Wing I Members: 53 (+2)
Promotions
None this week.
Merit Medals
VA Astin, Admiralty Board -> Silver Star of the Empire
RA Jedi Eclipse, Admiralty Board -> Silver Star of the Empire
Thats all for this week. I might be a little slow to
respond to messages and will have less availability on IRC this week, as school
begins for me on Wednesday. I don't have an overly heavy class schedule so once
I get situated I should have around the same availability as I normally do.
Until next week,
SOO/VA Astin/ISDII Hammer, Acting Wing Commander of Wing I
