Gannett Brooks Award

There seems to be some confusion with the way the manual was written. Therefore I will state the way to earn this and there is no exceptions to it.

To get the award the following has to be completed:

A doctorate in Intelligence Operations

A doctorate in Special Operations

At least a masters in Military Studies

 

You cannot substitute a double doctorate for any of these. You have to have a single studies in each of the following to earn the award. Complete a doctorate in the single study of each of the above.

SFSO Uniform Manual

Attention all Operatives!

I am happy to announce that the SFSO Uniform Manual is completed.

The manual has been in the works for several months, even before the SFSO Training Manual, but we had to switch gears and get the training manual updated first.

The manual can be located on the SFSO website under Publications. The link is provided: https://sfisfso.wordpress.com/publications/

STARFLEET SFSO Training Manual

After several months of hard work the SFSO Training Manual is completed.

Some changes that where made from the previous manual was the deletion of levels. Many of you mentioned that you did not like this because there were no certificates for completing a level, only when a Grade was completed. Also an Operative had to jump around in the manual from grade to grade. What we did is we combined the training levels of a grade into just the grade so it makes it appear to be a lot more courses, but in fact they are about the same.

We also grouped the Branches so that as an example; A Ranger operative had all his/her training requirements all together in one area starting from Grade 2 thru Grade 10. No more jumping around.

Do to issues from the SFMCA, all course requirements from the SFMCA have been removed and all courses will be taken at the SFA.

Upon completion the operative fills out the appropriate Branch/Grade certification form, completes all the information requested and has the unit OIC verify each course completion and then send it to the proper branch certification officers which are listed on the SFSO website. Once the certification officer has validated the information, an electronic certificate will generate and sent to the operative.

We also created an Individual Training Document that you or your unit can use to track your training.

At the back of the manual are four additional skill certifications that an operative can earn, however, you MUST complete and be certified in your required Grade 2 first.

The manual and forms can be located on the SFSO website under Publications. The link is provided: https://sfisfso.wordpress.com/publications/

I want to thank both Paul Dyl and Christopher Bayonet for the work and input they provided to get this manual completed. I also want to thanks TJ Allen and Mark Anderson for their attendance to our staff meetings where we talked about the training manual.

Secured Frequency Submission Deadline

1 June 2015 Submission Deadline

I have been given the task of trying to get a regular publication of “Secured Frequency” started up again. Among other things I have sketched out, I would like three things from the teams; motivational “shout outs” from what you consider your team’s unique perspective, updates on fictional/ role playing missions, and updates on any community service/ community support type missions you conduct. Along with some motivation from the directors and such, I think we could have a fun little newsletter. Send me what you can in this line. If I get only a little bit, you’ll have to put up with my writing. If you send me a lot, I’ll rotate through the teams to make sure everyone’s updates and shout outs get in on a fair rotation.

Awards

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have been working on an Awards Manual and have about got it ready. Be on the look out for the manual by 2015.

We are working on getting the nomination form on the web ready.

Now let me introduce a member that has stepped up to assist in the manuals and awards. Paul Dyl from Region 1 has been working with me on creating an Awards and a Uniform manual. He has worked hard and has earned the respect from the Deputy Director (Support) and myself. Paul has graciously stepped into the Assistant Deputy Director (Support) position to fill in on the manual set up. All manuals need to be submitted to him for review. Barry and he will review the manuals and make them match the same formatting. If a manual needs to be reviewed please email them and myself.

On another note, I have not heard from our newsletter and from what I have been told it is because no one was willing to submit articles to him. We need those articles to get the newsletter rolling. Tank Clark has done an excellent job on it and needs YOUR assistance. Get those articles in.

Reporting… I know you get tired of hearing about it. Reports are due by the first of each month. Pam and Tim are assisting Michael on compiling the reports to get them into me. I then have to submit them up to command. Intelligence Unit Reports and Reconnaissance Unit Reports need to go into Pam and Michael. The S.E.A.L.S. and Rangers Units reports need to go into Tim and Michael. Using the web-based form is the best possible way to make sure all involved gets the reports.If your team is not listed on the roster, it is possible we have not seen a report from you either never or after three failures to report.

I would need reports from Operations, Training, and Support as well as M.A.C.O. command by the 10th at the latest.

We are off to a wonderful group and it would be nice to see some role-playing missions within the units. Contact Deputy Director (Support) Jackson and he can let you know what to fill out and how to run a mission.

Carry On,

TJ Allen
