Greetings ladies and gents of the Rebel Squadrons Academy! The time of the month for another Newsletter has arrived once more. Loads of
changes have happened, but I hope that you all will not lose focus of what you are in the RSA for.

----- I. Latest News -----

- New RSA Command Staff Appointed

We have a new bunch of people working to get the RSA up and running. As most of you would've been informed by now, the new RSA SO is none
other than Commander Lozza McG. Our RSA IOs are 1st. Lieutenant Dhruv Kalra and Captain Mystic Warrior. Please give them all your cooperation.

- My retirement

This would be another repetition, but for those of you who hasn't been checking your mailboxes, I'm outta the office, once I get these few things
done. It's been a blast, but I'm sorry to say that it's time for me to move on, and my priorities have changed. Don't take this as a sign to slack, but
try to work with the new staff to continue to get things moving.

- RS Academy Instructors Manual

Old news, but I've sent a copy to the division COs. If you haven't gotten a copy, bug your CO for it.


----- II. Classifieds -----

- TIE Undergraduate SO (TUG SO)

TUG SO wanted. You need to be able to make TIE missions on a monthly basis and be able to fly weekly missions. If you are interested, contact
Kettch Nasin at kettch_nasin@hotmail.com"

- Instructors for various Undergraduate and Post Graduate Divisions

There are openings for instructors in various UG and PG Divisions. Do check out the RSA roster for place availability and contact the respective
division COs. To my knowledge, we've got spots in Grey-Alpha, Red Hand, and most of the other prestigious Undergraduate Divisions.

----- III. Promotions! -----

Very often, the work that we do is overlooked or underrated, and promotions and medals are few and far in between, but from now on I wish to
change that.

The following is based on General Kyle Tobarn's promo cycle for the ABG. Thanks for the guide. :)

At the end of each month I will be conducting a monthly promotion cycle for all the RSA Department and Division COs. Note that my eyes will be on
the COs only. For the XOs, SOs and instructors, it is the responsibility of the Dept. or Division COs to let me know who they want to promote at the
end of each month. If you feel that you are not being promoted or recognized for your efforts due to the fact that your CO is slacking, on LOA or
non-existant, let me know, and direct all complaints to me. I will try to take the necessary action to rectify the situation.

Remember that in order for me to be able to grade every CO fairly, I need to see what's going on in your division. Keeping me updated on your
division through monthly reports and the sight of division NLs are a sure thing. This is important also that I see what's going on (For the Fleet
Checkups thingy that I have to do) can help you out should you have any trouble with your division.

If the person's rank is a Level One rank (Lieutenant Junior Grade to Captain), then activity and time will be the primary reason for which I base my
decision.

If the rank is a Level Two rank (Major through Colonel), once again activity and time will govern, and I will look at the activity in the division as a
whole, and consistancy in maintaining a satisfactory level of excellence in the division.

If the rank is a Level Three rank (Brigadier General through General) I will look for consistent activity, extra effort and time put into the fleet,
performance beneficial on a fleetwide level, low or no complaints against-especially complaints that may reach the MoJ or higher, and never
deviates from the ideals of HIER.

Finally, don't ask me for a promotion for yourself. Just don't. Show me what you can do in your division, and I know how to do my job.

And now for the promotions!! Note that all this promos have been owed to you guys since September of last year, and it's payback time.

Major Chris Earthkeeper, for your excellent work in the Aurora Force Undergraduate, and a personal recommendation from someone above you, I
hereby promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Commander!

Congratulations!

Less medal reciepients for this month, but then again, we've all had a relatively quiet month. I stress again that Division COs should not hesitate to
nominate their people for medals or promotions. Give credit where it is due.

Without further ado, I will move on to the next section of the NL - The RSA Website Inspections, done by our new RSA IOs. Any complaints or
questions regarding your field, direct it to them. Internet Officers please read the comments on your website, and try to improve on them.

This is the Monthly RSA Site Evaluation for July

We would like to take this time to say that we are glad to be the new RS Academy IO and Ass. IO. Would everyone please update/finish their
websites, if not already done so? I'll be awarding the RSA IO Citation only to the best updated web site. The RSA IO Citation goes this month to
the IO of the RSA Postgrad: Officers Training School web site.
