Welcome to another wonderful edition of the RS Academy NL! I'm excited about all that we've accomplished in my 6-8 or so weeks of command and can't wait to see what the next year of activity brings.

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

Staff Changes:

Major General Spokes has resigned as Undergraduate Division CO to accept the position of PBF Fleet CO; congrats but we hate to see you go! Applications are now being accepted for this position. (little note: the last three fleet CO appointments have come from the UG CO or PG CO spots --Corran, Spokes, and Kravis--) No promises, but it's a nice little trend..to get people to apply!!

- The new CO of the Post Graduate Division is Captain Eric Wunderlind! Congrats, I expect great things from you.

- The new CO of the Mission Building Academy is Major Cephisus Balder. Welcome!

UG Reports:

Attention all Undergraduate COs! Send a year-end report NOW to the RSAXO, Lozza. Your also had a report due at the end of last month, November. His e-mail is lozman@gmx.co.uk. Also, e-mail Lozza if you are confused as to what we would like in these reports.

Websites:

All departments need to be updating their websites regularly!!!! This includes all undergrad and postgrad units. Assign an IO if you, the CO, do not have time to do this yourself. WE HAVE BEEN SLACKING MAJORLY IN THIS AREA, I WILL BE CRACKING DOWN ON OUT-OF-DATE AND DISFUNCTIONAL WEBSITES.
