My squad turnout has been consistently above what I thought. We seem to be filling our alocated uniforms, and we worry about who we might have to turn away to be under our max allowable.
Can I increase my squad to the 7-10 range with this post (from 4-6), or do I have to do it some other way or wait for next months tour.

You have to wait till the next event to update you squad commitment levels.
-
Just so you know, you are allowed to go over your numbers by 2, so you can have as many as 8 fly with a 4-6 commitment, just in case you didn't know.
Also you don't need to turn extra squad members away, theres always squads that will have slots open, my squad would be happy to take any extras you have.

Currently there may be a few more squads looking for extras.

Out of curiosity, say you had a few too many show, could the extras join as gunners if your squad was slated to fly bombers that evening. We've had a few times when we had 1 to 3 over our commitment and never had trouble finding a squad to take on our extras but just curious...
I suppose I could ask my CO but just thought of it as I read this post...

613th usually has room for a few extras. Check with me at the beginning of Frame 2.

If you have more than your max +2 numbers, yes I your overflow can be gunners for your bombers. I don't have an issue with that and don't penalize for that in my FSO. I penalize if more planes are fielded than allowed (your max +2).
However, check this with Nefarious and Stoney for their FSOs (I believe Stoney is slotted for July and Nefarious is slotted for August). Since it does entail a little more log work for us to see if when you go over if it is do to players flying planes or manning guns on bombers.
So in my event, Guadalcanal, yes your overflow can man the guns of your planes (if you have a mannable position).

Sled,
I have to say I have been flying FSO for quite a while. You and your FSO Team have put on such a good product that our squad which had trouble making small numbers in the past is under a pressure to increases our squad commitment. This will be the second increase in 5 months. It is the chatter of FSO that has pushed our numbers without let up.

Thank you :)
Yes additional people over your +2 max may be gunners.

Thank you All - good information to know...
Thanks ELD66 - we generally don't have an issue finding a squad with a few extra slots but we'll keep you in mind I'm sure <S>
