Edict #7
Bonjour, Comrades:
About a month ago, in the span of a week, two COs came to me with serious complaints concerning Fleet One. Both requested transfer out of the fleet, for several shared reasons. I do not wish to go into specifics, as I feel Command isn’t a place for the airing of such issues in depth. I will, however, provide adequate scope:
This began a series of communications with the Fleet Commander, Sidney Parker, and his assistant, TJ Morgan. These communications very quickly broke down to nothing more than name calling, evasions, and, incredibly, an issuing that our Vice President should not communicate with Fleet One.
Two weeks ago, I gave an ultimatum: improve communications and begin to solve the problems within the fleet, or we would step in. Appropriate measures have not been taken: communications came to a complete halt, until January 25th, in which a single, short, e-mail was sent, a conversation on Fleet Culture and sims was allowed to stall and vanish from the fleet hub, and too little effort was put into improving relations between Fleet Staff and the COs and other relevant people.
These items, in combination with the refusal to cooperate effectively with the Office of the President, have led to the following decision:
Sidney Parker is hereby dismissed from his position as Fleet Commander, Fleet One.
TJ Morgan is hereby dismissed from his position as Assistant Fleet Commander, Fleet One.
