seticatSome of you know I'm a member of SFI [STARFLEET International] which is a Star Trek Fan Club. SFI has a subsidiary group called the Star Fleet Marine Corps [SFMC] for those of us with a bit more martial bent.
Well, SFI just had it's once every three years election for the new Commander STARFLEET / Vice Commander STARFLEET. Part of the whole election process with the new incoming CS is the selection of a new Command Staff for both SFI and the SFMC. Change of Command takes place on 1 Jan, 2011. There are several different positions, but the ones I'll focus on are in the Marine side of the house.
We have a new SFMC Commandant and said new 'Dant will have his own new Staff. Various positions are things like TRACOM [TRAining COMmand - manages the SFMC Academy], INFOCOM [INFOmation COMmand - manages communication systems, etc], FINCOM [FINance COMmand] and FORCECOM [FORCEs COMmand - responsible for the day to day operation of the SFMC: awards, etc]. Each of these positions have a Deputy Officer [DCO] to help sharethe wealth the workload.
Long story short: starting 1 Jan, I'll be DCOFORCECOM [Deputy Commanding Officer FORCes COMmand], which is a General Staff position.
From a brand new munchie in Fleet the end of 2006 to one of the 'right up there' positions in the SFMC in 4 years.
I hope I know what I've let myself in for. Guess I'll find out come Jan.
