Flight Member

Position Description

The Flight Member is the first position a new member is assigned to a squadron for active duty. Flight Members are the primary activity base within the TIE Corps, participating in competitions, making submissions to the Newsletter, posting on message boards, furthering their education with IWATS courses, talking with fellow members and other activities. In addition, Flight Members are encouraged to interact with their immediate superiors (Flight Leaders and/or Squadron Commanders) in regards to any questions or suggestions they may have.

Rank: A Flight Member starts with the rank of Sub-Lieutenant. They may be promoted to Commander, although Flight Members of Elite Squadrons can be promoted to Colonel. The maximum rank any Flight Member may HOLD is Colonel, regardless of whether the squadron is elite or not.

Command Responsibilities

• Submissions for the Emperor's Hammer Newsletter (sent to the Executive Officer).
• Post/read the Emperor's Hammer Message Boards (where possible).
• Participate in competitions (where possible).
• Attend on-line meetings (where possible).
• Recommendations for medals and promotions (should be forwarded to the Squadron Commander).
• Online Requirements: Few other than responding to e-mail occasionally. The expected maximum email response time is generally 1 week.
