What The Hawks Have Been Up To In The Corps
★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★
The Black Hawks has three corps -- Blade, Talon, and Terra. Blade does tag raids, Talon does those fun sleepers you hear about only when it's too late, and Terra takes care of the tasks beyond raiding!
So far in 2018, Blade has seen a grand total of 1932 hits, which averages out to 6.35 hits a day and 12.88 hits per raid. In the month of June there was 270 hits, in July there was 76 hits, August seeing 159 hits, September seeing 182 hits, and October seeing 132.
In Talon, several occupations have occurred since our last update. To start off this list was the RaiderCon raid of Communist alliance, with 33 making the initial jump, 13 of those Hawks. TBH's own Overseer of Talon was point on the Communist Alliance. The founder of CA did eventually come back, which led to RaiderCon saying hello in Equestria! Later in September, the Hawks became Teenage Anarchists and raided Anarchy, with Felt Karpit as the sleeper. The raid report for Anarchy can be found here. Next up on the list of occupations was the occupation of SPACE, led by Lady Dominator, lasting 21 updates, with Lady Dominator dropping WA with 44 endorsements and 1,081 influence. Finally, the raid on The Dank Meme Alliance. The sleeper, Aquila, got the password to the region, which allowed for the fun raid! The founder came back after the second update, which left the raid ending with 36 endorsements and 226 influence.
In Terra, TBH put on a first of it's kind AnimeFest. The Hawks also participated in N-Day, with an overall total of -12,598 (still better then -12,599), with their faction page here. Right now the Hawks have sixty-nine masked members. 15 of the Hawks are Privates, 14 Private First Classes, 10 Corporals, 6 Sergeants, 2 Lieutenants, 3 Majors, 2 Colonels, 6 Generals, and Red Back, our Commander in Chief. After the Tapapocalypse, the Council worked hard to get the forums out. The new forums, found here, are very similar to our old forums, with the loss of the beloved Shoutbox. Another thing Terra has been doing has been working with Deadeye 2, the newest tool developed by Sergeant Derps.

Promotions
On October 5th the Council dropped some new Promotions!
The first of the three Promotions was of Sergeant Lady Dominator to the first officer rank of Lieutenant. On LD's promotion, the council said, "First up, The Council of Hawks would like to highlight one of our extremely well-rounded Sergeants. This member is known pretty widely across NS, and is involved in a few other notable regions, but maintains an exceptional focus on TBH nonetheless. They are a leader in the War Room, and we trust them to be in influence on and mentor our SGT's. On top of all that, they are a very valuable member of our community and coluteral scene."
The second of the promotions was of Valkyrie Vytherov from Lieutenant to Major. In Valkyrie's promotion, the council commented, "Now, that's all great, but next up we'd like to focus on someone who, in their 20 months with us, has wormed their way to the center of the region's heart, soul, and culture. This Hawk certainly has shown their "ingenuity" and taken "leadership" plenty of times, both in the field and in the region as a community. Their sleeper work has been quite decent, and they are always excited to interact with new members - perhaps even sometimes a little too excited! They don't just help the region run smoothly - they are a huge chunk of who we are as a region."
The third and the final promotion of the night was none other the very own council's Raionitu. The Council of Hawks said this about Rai, "Last up, Council would like to recognize one of our own, whose commitment, support, and drive for success has been exemplary at the highest levels. This Hawk has led their division adeptly, and continued to churn out the sleepers and special ops that earn us much of our reputation.
To add onto these promotions, the Council also awarded the Star of Achievement to Valkyrie Vytherov. We could just write it out again, but here's what the Council said on her new medal, "Major Valkyrie's artistic endeavors have contributed greatly to the region, and represent nothing less than a distinguished act of service. She has notably brought life and character to our reports and chat by creating a mascot for the region, and by designing graphics for our new forum, in addition to countless other flags, faces, sketches, and scribbles. While her promotion recognizes her dedication to the region and activity within it, this medal commends her priceless imaginative and aesthetic contributions to the Black Hawks. Kyrie - never stop bringing life to the images in your head!"
Congratulations to all three on their promotions and to Valkyrie on the Star of Achievement!

Even More Moves Like Jakker!
As one more huzzah, the Council announced something else on November 9th, 2018. General Jakker, who went into retirement a little over a year ago, would be coming back as an active Council member, serving in the capacity of Council Chairman. To celebrate here's some Moves Like Jakker!
