Ship's Meeting Shady Oak BBQ, Fort Worth, TX 21 Apr 2018 Uniform of the Day: Class B In attendance were Tank Clark, Liz Goulet, Tracy Clark, Cynthia Crouch, Roon Marchant, Alan Goulet, and Michelle Goulet. Alan was Officer of the Deck, and presented a challenging quiz on "Star Trek Beyond." The ship is holding at 18 International members and one Local member. After the t-shirts and business cards were purchased, the ship's treasury was down to $3.62; donations brought it back up to $16.62. There were several ideas presented for Blue Division's fund raising efforts, including the "Vote Jar: Tank in/not in a skant" idea as well as another "Guess how many tribbles" run, with Tribbles being later adopted out for donations. Tracy will look into starting some sewing. Everyone is excited about the Texas Scottish Festival and Highland Games in Decatur, TX, early in May. Directions were given to those who asked, and we'll be meeting on Saturday 12 May wearing our ship's T-shirts. Other landing parties suggested: another trip to the C.R. Smith Museum (a.k.a. the American Airlines museum), as well as a trip to the Bowling museum in Arlington. MACO Team Leader Tank Clark reported on the status of our Team, as well as updating the rest of the ship about the goings-on in Military Assault Command Operations 'High Command'. The Leadership Committee agreed to the appropriate change in the Ship's Articles, as follows, changing from: (Article IV, Section 4.02 "Ship's Organizational Structure": (f) RANGERS There may be a team of Rangers on the USS Sea Tiger. The Rangers do not technically constitute a Division, and members of the Rangers will also be part of one of the three Ship’s Divisions (Gold, Blue, Red).. They will maintain their own ranking and order of command where it pertains to STARFLEET Special Operations business. However, if a situation involves crew members who are not Rangers then it becomes a matter for the Command Staff. Rangers will receive the same respect and privileges as anyone else on the Sea Tiger. Any International member of the USS Sea Tiger may become a Ranger. A Ranger may be in any Division, at his own discretion. During Division Leader Elections (each even-numbered year), the Rangers will hold an election for their Team Leader (TL). The procedure for this election is identical in nature to the one for a Department Head. In order to run for, or vote for, the Team Leader of Rangers, one must be a member of the Rangers for at least six months prior to the election. The TL may call for the election of the Assistant Team Leader (ATL), or he may appoint his ATL, at his discretion. Leadership in the Rangers does not preclude leadership in another area of the ship -- of being the ship’s Captain, First Officer, or a Division Leader; or of being the leader of the ship’s Marine unit; or the ship’s Klingons. In other words, one may be the ship’s Captain, the OIC of the Marines, the Ranger Team Leader, and the Klingon Leader, all at the same time, if so elected. to: (f) Military Assault Command Operations There may be a team of STARFLEET M.A.C.O. on the USS Sea Tiger. The M.A.C.O. do not technically constitute a Division, and members of the M.A.C.O. unit will also be part of one of the three Ship’s Divisions (Gold, Blue, Red.) They will maintain their own ranking and order of command where it pertains to STARFLEET Military Assault Command Operations business. However, if a situation involves crew members who are M.A.C.O. members as well as crew members who are not, it then becomes a matter for the Command Staff. A member of the M.A.C.O. team may be in any Division, at his own discretion. During Division Leader Elections (each even-numbered year), the M.A.C.O. team will hold an election for their Team Leader (TL). The procedure for this election is identical in nature to the one for a Department Head. In order to run for or vote for the Team Leader of the M.A.C.O. team, one must be a member of the M.A.C.O. team for at least six months prior to the election. The TL may call for the election of his Assistant Team Leader (ATL), or he may appoint his ATL, at the TL’s discretion. Tracy Clark (Blue Leader) moved to accept this change; Liz Goulet (First Officer) seconded; there were no "nay" votes. Further discussion was held regarding possible other changes, in STARFLEET MACO and in STARFLEET Marines, as well as within STARFLEET, regarding logos and the like. We're going to stand by for any necessary maneuvers. Note: During discussion of updating Articles to permit MACOs, Alan Goulet mentioned giving the Captain “Executive Powers” to deal with issues like this without having to get the LC or the Ship’s Company involved. While the sentiment behind such an offer is highly appreciated, the possibility of abuse by a future Captain precludes granting such an ability. It would, in fact, be the first step to forming a personality-driven chapter, perfect for the Mirror Universe. The meeting concluded after discussing some of the movies & television shows that are being watched or are on our "want to see" lists. Clark, commanding Sea Tiger, out
