Orders:
===================================
-OuterSectors:
**
Jagged Fel surveyed the territory with his macrobinoculars. In the distance he could make out cliffs and very little indigenous life. Such was normal for Geonosis.
The latest scout reports showed that some pirates had broken away from the main group, evidently frustrated with the pirate "leadership". No doubt they would be in the field already, making a lot of trouble for both the Empire and te remaining pirates.
If Jansen's assessments of the pirates were correct, there wouldn't be many left after this. Perhaps only those in space, which the Navy would clean up before long. Then the Imperial Army would be free to liberate planets from the Rebels...
Jagged descended from the rock and picked up some of his heavier equipment. No time to waste...

-Army assignment: ERS102 - Geonosis Finale - "The Imperial Victory on Geonosis is nearly complete... Lead the Army to victory over the fractioned and scattered pirates!"

-Keep up recruitment, keep those cadets coming!
-You should know this part by heart now...
-Saturdays 1600-2300 EST (GMT-5) in #outerrim on IRC - InterClub Training Event, come and play against other clubs like Rebel Squadrons, Emperor's Hammer, StarVipers, etc. They host many games, including XWA, XvT, the JK series, GB, FC, and Battlefront. Stop in and have a good time!
-Ladders are on hold for OuterSectors...
-If you have GB, or any of the X-wing series, start flying Combat Chamber missions. Besides the fact that you can get medals for the amount you complete, right now you'll also be getting OS points as well. Go for high scores and try to top the Elite Pilots roster (but you have to beat me ;-).
Reports:
========================
Spearhead: Yes
-Between Farmer and Branet and the amount of activity among their men, Spearhead seems to be in the best shape right now
Dragon: Yes
-Still sending reports right after I complain about not getting any. I should be getting them before then.
Hornet: No
-There's a couple that poke up every now and then, but overall pretty quiet
-Needs to actually send me reports
Raider: Yes
-Quietest of the bunch, but that could be due to Glendon's ELOA
-JLT Pharaxes has stepped up pretty well, but write reports more often ;-)
*Viper: No
-First company of Second Brigade, and still growing...
-I know you don't have a BRG-CO, but please send reports to me until then
*Demon: N/A
-The Lone Ranger waiting for a CO... :-P
Final Thoughts:
========================
I thought I needed to flesh out my report format a little, because I finally realized I really didn't state much in my reports. Sure, I complain about what I don't hear, but now I'm going to start focusing on what is actually happening within the Brigade, and not just if I heard anything from the Companies. (okay, and Branet's reports were longer than mine :-P)
Thanks to VA Fel we finally have a GB mission for OS, so I expect all of you who have it to complete and submit your files for this round. We haven't had much to do for a couple rounds due to techinical errors and just the lack of time, but now's our chance to get moving again.
Also a thing to consider; if you complete the GB mission, why not write up an After Action Report about it? You have the full mission sitting in front of you, and if you recorded the game (as you should be) you can replay it and take notes if you have to so you can write your report. It's almost free OS points. Not only do you get the mission points, but extra points for writing fiction as well. And even if you don't have GB, you know the general background of the mission, you have the paragraph in the OS Chapter assignment, write up what you thought happened.
With the creation of the AAE, some of you now have a few extra shinies for your medal rack. Yet another way you can be active and earn yourself awards is to complete various exams offered by the Academy (you can even take the Navy Officer exam. ewww :-P ). But I'd recommend that all Army officers take the Army Officer Exam and the Company Leadership Exam. Both are required for command positions, so make it easier on yourself and take them now :-)
Overall, keep up the good work. The Army's presence on the MBs has increased significantly, although that's bringing about the revival of long dead topics, and there's even a couple that've gotten on IRC. Keep recruiting, more members are always welcome.
