Welcome to the end of another wonderful month in the Academy. Still in the works is an ITOD system for the Academy, which will hopefully be here in the couple of months if all goes well. Since this is my first fleet NL please bear with me, and I'll get through everything on my list.

------Latest News------

Make sure you keep your websites updated. I haven't really enforced this so far, but I will be picking this up shortly. If you do not have an IO, and cannot do the work yourself, get an IO. If you are having troubles finding an IO, please contact me (mysticwarrior@rebelsquadrons.org).

Keep sending off division reports to your respective UG/PG command staff. UG/PG Commanders, remember to send off periodic reports to the Academy command staff.

I am still in the process of creating images for the Academy medals.

------Classifieds------

RSCD ROC needs a CO, contact MGN Lamin Zykara (moea@rebelsquadrons.org) with applications and/or details.

IOs are still needed! Contact me (mysticwarrior@rebelsquadrons.org) if you are interrested in becoming an IO.

Remember: In order to be promoted for work done in the Academy the Academy must be your primary fleet.
