WEEKLY GAMMA SQUADRON REPORT
GAMMA WEEKLY SQUADRON REPORT #31
TO: TCCOM HA Daniel Bonini
FROM: Gamma CMDR COL Elwood the Brave
DATE SUBMITED: 1st February 2014
OVERVIEW
After the loss of Zos to the TC Admirality last week we've had 2 new arrivals this week. Please all give a hearty welcome to CM Repulsor and MAJ Tuba who joined us from the RSV's. With those 2 new arrivals we're nearly full again.
Apperantly the new arrivals made it possible to open up another squadron. Lambda will be commissioned in the near future with COL La'an as its CMDR. FL applications are being accepted by now and should only come from actual FM's only. Send your applications to the TCCOM, the SOO and COL La'an.
If there's gonna be enough increase in active membership we might even see another Wing/Ship commissioned as soon as the number of squadrons increases to 7 or above, according to the TCCOM himself.

/me crosses fingers for some Wing/Wing or Ship/Ship competitions in the near future

Tuba allready earned himself some nice LoC's, challenging Starkillerny for the pilot of the month for February for sure and CM Repulsor is showing some nice TIE flying activity! Well done you 2!

The trivia saw 26 answers this week. Winner is CM Repulsor with 8 points, followed by Starkillerny with 7 points, Impulse and Tuba with 6 points and Mark with 4 point.

Gamma motto and nickname comp - 01/19/2014 - 01/31/2014

For each (Gamma Nickname, Gamma motto and Flight II motto) there is an IS-BR as reward for the winner(s) and 1 point for the pilot of the months comp for submissions per pilot (max 3 points per pilot) plus 1 additional point for each winning submission.

SQUADRON ORDERS
1.) Report about activity before I release next weekly squadron report (approximately next Saturday around 11:00 UTC/GMT). Even if you did nothing you should still report and say that you did nothing.
2.) Keep activity on good level (IU/IWATS, flying or anything you can do). This club is about activity and fun, not just boring hang around.
3.) Participate in Competitions! Those are designed and run to give YOU something to have fun with.

FINAL WORDS

With 2 new pilots we're nearly full again, which makes me realy happy. And activity is increasing dramatically, which makes me even happier. Even if the CMDR stuff workload is increasingly stressful :-) I hope that we can keep up the level of last month's activity and maybe even improve it in the weeks/months to come! I look more and more positive into the future of Gamma!

With another Squadron opened we might even see a new ship/wing opened in the near future, if the growth rate of the active memberships keeps on this high level. That makes me think damn positive about the future of the TC as a whole!
