Recently on the Drake, we ran a Search and Rescue training operation during the first half of our shore leave. I just wanted to gauge interest from Marine officers -- PC and PNPC alike -- for doing something similar, but for marines across the entire fleet. It would similar to how I did the security conference a little over a year ago, essentially a giant joint sim done on the forum that we could then post to our respective ship lists if so desired.

For those who weren't around for the security conference, you can check it out here: http://www.starbase1...ity-conference/

So... interest? Thoughts?

[Eoghan Byrne]

I like the idea personally it could show some depth in the position and duty post I am in

[Alexander Matthews]

Askade would be very interested.

[T'Mihn Ah'mygahn]

Sounds very fun,but no marines on Tiger,just our security personnel.

[KNicholotti]

I like the idea - the whole copy/pasting of the entire sim, however, gets a bit unwieldy... but I'd be interested if you want me (or I can just watch, either way is good!)

Sounds great!

[Hugh Barnes]

Sounds fun, I can resurrect my Marine PNCP again.

[Peter Dixon]

Count me in. Someone needs to keep the skys clear.

[Joseph Dubeau]

I'd be in on that.

[Hannibal Parker]

That would be something that would tickle my fancy.....

Sorry about the delay here -- it's been a hectic month for me.

So, how would people like this to work in terms of structure -- should we do it on the forum, along the lines of the Helm/Ops conference here: http://www.starbase1...e/page__st__100 ?

[Hugh Barnes]

The alternative is to do it like the security conference we had the other year.

Okay, so we'll do it on the forums, in a kind of hybrid version of what the counselors are doing and what we did with the security conference. With me in the middle of my Cammander's -- or Lieutenant-Colonel's -- practical and with the Blockbuster getting started, I think it's best if we leave this for an end of September start. I'mm brainstorm some ideas for the training op, but if anyone else has some ideas, just drop me an email.

So I think we'll plan to start this training operation at the end of September. I'm out of the country the 14th to the 23rd, so that gives me some time to catch up on sims with the Drake before adding more work to my plate. I'll ask the CO's of all vessels with a marine presence to announce the training op, so hopefully we can get a good turnout.
