Bill #1

“Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help! I’m being repressed!” -Monty Python

The third paragraph in the Powers of a Commanding Officer section within the Ship Management section of FCOMM will be changed from:

The CO also has the power to dismiss members of their crews if they determine that such action is necessary to preserve or restore the ability of the ship to function effectively. A member dismissed from a ship may appeal the decision to the FComm (or AFComm if the CO in question is FComm). The ruling of the FComm (or AFComm) in this matter is final and may not be appealed further. Other powers may be specified by Edict or by the Fleet Commander.

The CO also has the power to dismiss members of their crews if they determine that such action is necessary to preserve or restore the ability of the ship to function effectively. A member dismissed from a ship may appeal the decision to the FComm (or AFComm if the CO in question is FComm). Should the FComm (or AFComm) support the decision of the CO, the ruling is final. Should the FComm overturn the ruling, the CO may appeal to the President (or the Vice President if the President is the CO in Question); in this case, the President’s (or Vice President’s) decision is final. Other powers may be specified by Edict or by the Fleet Commander.
