Edict #51
“Always plan for the worst, that way all your surprises will be pleasant ones.”
With my first term as President rolling to its end and the second now on the way to beginning, it’s time for those interminable promotions edicts :P
With the introduction of the new version of MOO and the addition of our new ranks as well as the promotions guidelines, there will be some changes. The most notable
will be that each promotion will be made solely on merit. Hell, I don’t even like some of these people :P (I kid, of course).
The first and biggest of these promotions is going to be a little unconventional.
Having served as a member in good standing for six years now, our man of the hour has seen through terms as Academy Commandant through no less than six Presidents,
ensuring that countless generations of cadets are trained by competent, caring and polite staffs. He has introduced the CADET edict and put it through umpteen
revisions until we had the perfect incarnation as well as introducing the CO course, the DH course, the XO course, the creation of the Academy Fleet Liaison Officers
position(s), the new and current Players Handbook, a complete revision to procedures and standards within the Academy that has seen its transformation into a
professional, respected and flawless school of excellence.
Besides that he has served as President and has seen service as Vice President to two others. He has served as acting President uncounted times, ensuring that the
club continues to run smoothly no matter the occurence and whenever an issue has arisen he has always been there for the club despite a hectic rl schedule. Without a
doubt he fulfills every criteria for a most unusual of promotions. He has also served as Internet Director and the Fleet One Commander through some very difficult
times.
He is counsellor, advisor, bitch slapper and friend and I am proud to name him as my first end of term promotion.
With years of government service in a number of capacities and an undeniable long lasting, permanent and positive effect on the way in which one of our most
important Fleets operates, it is my great pleasure to offer not one, but two promotions simultaneously to a single person
Commodore Jack Dipper is hereby promoted past the rank of Rear Admiral, to the rank of Vice Admiral with all the rights and priveleges therein. One of our most
determined, consistent, passionate and committed members, Jack is well deserving of his new rank. May all the venerated Captains, Admirals and Animals of past,
present and future have mercy on his poor soul.
Congratulations, Vice Admiral Dipper!
