Welcome to the September edition of the 1st Corps Monthly Newsletter! This newsletter provides a way for you to know what is going on in your corps, milestones people have hit, upcoming events, and more! If there is anything that you'd like to see in the next edition, please let me know!

If I had to summarize what was happening in 1st Corps currently the first word that comes to mind is "change". There were so many changes in the month of August in 1st Corps, and I believe they are going to have a positive impact on our community!

One of the biggest changes happened very late in the month when the decision to close 2nd Corps was made. For 1st Corps, this meant that Apex, Battlefield, and the Vanguard Divisions moved to us (this means all TW titles are currently in 1st Corps). This was done due to the sizes of several games; overtime some of our older titles have gotten smaller while they await a new title. We see this often, especially since there are so many game choices for people nowadays! I want to personally thank @MissVendettaXO for all of her hard work in 2nd Corps and for her promotion to PRH. I am very excited to see what she does with the PRO, and how she can help them to grow and be successful! I'm also looking forward to see how I can continue what she started with her 3 divisions! Apex, Battlefield, and Vanguard- I hope you guys enjoy your time in 1st Corps! If you (or anyone in TG) have any suggestions, please feel free to make them here. We love to hear your thoughts on how we can improve things for you!

Not only did 1st Corps grow in the number of games that we have, but we have had a lot of staffing changes inside of our divisions! Across the entire corps there were 4 Division Staff promotions, 7 Battalion Staff promotions, and 21 Squad Staff Promotions! With all of these new leaders, I'm excited to see where they take their squads, battalions, and divisions with the guidance of those who have been in position and know the ropes! I think both new and experienced staff can learn a lot from one another.

In addition to roster changes, there are two new things coming to 1st Corps! The first being our TW Wide Recruiting Contest! This will last until either the end of the year or we have 300 new members in TW (they must complete boot camp and attend a practice to count). Total prize pool consists of $260 USD along with other TG merchandise! More details on the contest including how to enter, prize information, and more can be found here!

A new program we are bringing with a focus on 1st Corps, but feedback will be shared with TA is "Gratitude for Gamers". In the world, we see a lot of negative things going on, but I want to help us focus on the positive! "Gratitude for Gamers" is where you can submit a statement of recognition for a fellow TG Member. That recognition is then sent anonymously (unless you want to include your TG name) to the person! This is a great way to help spread some cheer in our community and to focus on some positive things! More information about the "Gratitude for Gamers" can be found here!

Personally, I'm excited to see where September takes us!
