Its that time of year folks, the time when we all gather around the
Ronin-Tree, and celebrate the birth of our Fleet Commander, GA Ronin. That
means, recommendations for the Commendation of Loyalty! (YAY!) Nothing has
changed since January...but since a great deal has changed (in terms of
personnel) since January, I'll refresh everyone's memory.

<p>For the TIE Corps:
Each squadron commander can send any number of recommendations for awards
to their respective Wing Commander. The Wing Commander chooses three (3)
awards. Then these recommendations are forwarded up the chain of command
to the respective Commodores and Battlegroup Commanders, making any
possible corrections. Then the Battlegroup Commander collects the
recommendations for his Battlegroup, and emails them to the Operations
Officer, CC'ing the Flight Officer. Also, each Battlegroup Commander has
the discretion to award a maximum of three (3) awards to his Flag Officers.

<p>For elite squadrons (Avenger, Praetorian, Tau, and Omega), the commander
can recommend up to one (1) award to their Battlegroup Commander (Omega -
SovCOM; Avenger - ASF BGCOM), in the case of Praetorian and Tau Squadron,
the CMDR will directly email the Operations Officer, also CC'ing the Flight
Officer.

<p>For the Dark Brotherhood:
Each Clan Consul will have the ability to recommend up to three (3) members
from their clan to the Chancellor of the Brotherhood and the Grand
Master. The Grand Master will also have a special discretionary award up
to a maximum of five (5) awards. These final recommendations will be sent
by the Grand Master to the Operations Officer.

<p>Other Subgroups:
Each Subgroup (other than the Brotherhood) will have the opportunity to
recommend a maximum of ten (10) awards. These will be sent directly to the
Operations Officer.

<p>Command Staff/Advisors:
Each CO will be allowed a small indeterminate level of awarding, to be
dealt with on a case-by-case basis. These recommendations also go to the
Operations Officer.

<p>ALL recommendations must have the subject heading: "CoL Reccs" or they
will be ignored

<p>Recommendations are due August 19th, at Midnight Eastern Time. Absolutely
no recommendations will be accepted after that. That gives you nearly
three weeks, that should be sufficient time.

Operations Officer
