Attention Troopers: this is your Prefect speaking.
I’ll try to keep this letter short. There are three main issues I want to discuss with you this month: the January MSEs, competitions, and the Commendations of Loyalty. I’d also like to take a moment to congratulate LCP Jabis Ravenhawk and PFC Dunta Polo on their promotions this morning. Congratulations as well to all of our members who received merit awards for their efforts in January. Keep up the good work!
January MSEs
I was very pleased to receive all three squad evaluations on time this month, and after some lag time in processing on our end, I have approved and issued the medals recommended by the SLs and BGN Drachen.
Competitions
In January, my main focus was on the command structure: hiring two new SLs and pushing them and our veteran officers to get back into the habit of running competitions and issuing reports and medals. In February, it appears that I’m going to be harassing the grunts. We have several ongoing competitions, covering gaming, fiction, and flash gaming, but participation has been much weaker than I had hoped for.
Operation Carpal Tunnel for flash gaming runs through February 14.
Operation Kill and Be Killed for Battlefront has been extended through February 18.
Operation Victory’s Light ends February 22.
SL Vosakia Spreex is working to organize a guns-only JA tournament. Keep an eye out for details in the coming weeks.
See below for a new competition running through February 19.
Go get those CoDs, Troopers!
Commendations of Loyalty
I’ve been discussing the CoL issue with the FC and the other SGCOMs, as well as my SOC. Without going off on unproductive tangents, suffice it to say the the January 7 CoLs are not going to be issued in the immediate future; this has been a problem in the past and I expect it will continue to be one in the future. In the HF, we managed to get our recommendations together back in December, and I don’t see why awards should wait in limbo for months due to issues with the higher-level EH. To that end:
I have written to GA Rapier withdrawing my recommendations for CoLs.
I will remove the CoL from the HFFM and we will no longer recognize it as a subgroup-level award. It will, of course, continue to exist elsewhere in the EH for the FC and his XO to award at their pleasure.
We will be creating a new award to fill the role of a biannual commendation with more specific guidelines on the nomination process. Our recent CoL nominees will each be receiving this award.
There is a new competition running to name this new award. See http://goo.gl/forms/oES1KOhzB3 to enter or http://www.hf.emperorshammer.
I’m not pleased that the situation came to this, but I think this is the best way for us to move forward.
Finally, my apologies for issuing this report a week late.
For the Fist,
