“The other reason I took this job was so I could do really cool stuff like this.”
Two terms back, Andrew Robinson promoted someone to Fleet Captain for their services to the club, which he elegantly described has being “a commitment born of love”. That promotion clearly laid out the commitment and contribution to the club above and beyond the usual requirements that the person had demonstrated.
Since that promotion, this particular individual has served as both Vice President and President for two consecutive terms, along with being FComm 3 and the CO of Outpost 42. Coupled with his contributions that lead to his promotion to Fleet Captain, this shows not only a keen commitment to the club, but one that has stood the test of time and spanned numerous years.
This individual, of course, is Anthony Martin.
Those who have had any dealing with him will know of his fantastic ability to be impartial and impeccably fair - qualities that I am quite honestly jealous of. I, along with others in the club, have sought his experience, wisdom and friendship when dealing not only with STF matters, but RL ones as well. Quite simply, if anyone is to be a role-model for the future generations (and perhaps even us older generations) of STFers, he is the most suited individual.
Tony, I am sure there are times where you want to smack our heads together, but instead you calmly deal with us in a manner which we all can learn from. Thank you for your efforts to the club over the many years since you joined and, more importantly, thank you for being an awesome friend.
Oh… I almost forgot. Fleet Captain Anthony Martin is hereby promoted to the rank of Commodore, with all the rights and privileges of the rank.
