BRIEFING
<salute>
        
        Pilots of the Emperor's Hammer...
        
        It must be repeated that the more work you do for yourselves as officers
        of the Emperor's Hammer the quicker things get done for you by the
        Flight Office. Get your communications together before requesting
        transfers and make your case for promotions above your promotional
        authority...time is not evidence of proven leadership. The Fleet Systems
        Engineer has continued to make everyone's life easier with improvements
        to the administration of the roster, but you have the power to make it
        better still.
        
        Numbers were moved around a bit this week, but they remain strong and
        Daedalus saw the greatest jump this week, adding 15 new cadets...Tornado
        squadron is being sent on a long-range recon mission for safety reasons.
        
        The Sovereign added several news pilots this week as the fleet awaits
        the report on the final, regular season, standings of the Sovereign
        league.
        
        The Battlegroups dropped a number of pilots this week, but there are
        rumours of several pilots returning from the reserves. On the Colossus,
        Oldie stepped down as Wing Commander and is resting in the reserves as
        rl takes its toll. Applications are being taken by VA Ari and a
        replacement will be named soon.
        
        The ASF lost another couple of pilots this week, but as they finish
        their current operations, expect more opportunities for recruiting in
        the many on-line multi-player "zones."
        
        The shine and smell of newness continues on the Avenger, but more pilots
        this week are working to give the ship a more human touch. As the growth
        continues, new squadrons will need to be opened and that means more
        command opportunities.
        
        The Naval Corps gained another crewman this week. nothing new on their
        message boards to report as the wargames must be taking much of their
        energy.
        
        The elites are all up to full strength, but for Tau which holds steady
        at 10. It should be noted that Praetorian hit 100 citations and everyone
        should congratulate them on an amazing statistic.
        
        As already indicated, the Daedalus added 15 new cadets. Training is
        going well and these cadets are eager to chose their new
        squadrons...help them out and give them your best line...what's the
        worst that can happen, "no" or a drink in your face?
        
        All in all...the fleet is strong and well. as always....act like an
        officer and have fun!!!
