-==Intro/CMDR Rant==-
It's been a very quite February for Beta Squadron this month. Hopefully March will pick things up!
For those of you reading along with the email strings, you'll have noticed that the TAC is launching a competition to reward squadrons for achieving Citations for those SP players amongst us. To see what each squadron is capable of, I am being asked to provide a list of what platforms each of us in Beta own. Now, most of you have this info filled out on your TC profile already. For those that don't, please login and update it ASAP. For the others, take a look at it and make any updates that are needed. I'll send the final list to the TAC by the end of the week.
If any of you have any interest in participating in this comp over the next couple of months (flying battles for the purpose of earning citations), shoot me an email and let me know so I can gauge if there's enough interest to warrant our time being spent in this manner.
Now, on to the Tale of the Tape.

Is Hazing Still a Thing?
Unbelievably, GN Coranel Both will have served as BetaCMDR for 1 year as of March 15th. To "commemorate" this event, you are invited to write a fiction to haze said CMDR (as we can't let this achievement go to his head). No minimum or maximum word count; simply detail the adventures in hazing the Squadron CMDR and
submit your entries to him by March 15th. Winner gets an IS-BR!
Target Identification
As a STRIKE squadron, all pilot in Beta Squadron must have the ability to identify a target based on what is sometimes partial info from the Intelligence Division. Each week in the WSR, a picture of a particular target will be included in that WSR. The first member of the squadron to reply back with the correct name of the target (which can be a person, ship or location) wins an IS-BR. Overall winner for the month will get an IS-SR.
To participate, log into the
TC site, and click on the link below. The database will track how long from when you first clicked the link below to when you submitted the answer, so there won't be any advantage to whomever completes it in the closest time to the WSR being sent, but whomever completes it in the shortest amount of time correctly.
Last week's winner (and answer): No submissions
* TCCOM Report 100: Write a short (500-800 words long) story for the introduction of the TCCOM's 100th report! Submit your entry to Woody!
