ISD WARRIOR REPORT #35 |
REPORTING OFFICER: High Admiral Mordechi Wolfe |
FROM THE DESK OF THE COMMODORE |
Warrior Update Greetings all and happy new year! This is the first official report from me for a while - it's been a busy month or so - RL work has been exceptionally challenging in supporting the UK government's COVID-19 pandemic response, which ironically also featured myself and the family being stricken with the disease for a shortish while. That being said, I hope everyone had a peaceful and relaxing holiday/Christmas season. The recent month has provided us with an opportunity to reflect on the past year's activities and consider what the Warrior and TIE Corps membership experience should be, and what opportunities can be created for Warrior Pilots to engage in fun, social activity. More on this below. |

WARRIOR FUTURE ACTIVITY |
As mentioned above, myself and the Squadron Commanders have been considering how we can help improve your membership experience. Its easy to say 'just run competitions', but there's more to it than that - I think we need to be smarter in how we approach all activities (not just competitions) to ensure they are interesting and inclusive, as well as having a long(ish) term plan to work to. This, I hope, will provide several benefits. The first is that we can plan out a activities over say the next 4-6 months for the Ship, interlaced with wider Fleet events, and demonstrate these to you - it also allows you to hold us to account if things are not happening or progressing. It also allows me to share the burden with the rest of the Ship's command staff. So what does all this mean? I have broadly divided ship activity into four 'Lines of Effort' and the CMDRs have volunteered to act as focal leads for each one. If anyone would like to be involved with, or has ideas for any LoE, please contact the lead CMDR. So a lot of words, but what does this all mean? In the short term, my expectation is that each lead being brainstorming some suggestions and ideas that have a tangible output - and my hope is that members of the Ship lean in to assist - any ideas, suggestions and even criticisms you may have are welcome. Without these we cannot improve. Realistically though, things will take time to enact - we run purely on voluntary contributions of your personal time. The old adage that 'RL always comes first' must remain true - after all this club is aims to be a fun relaxing space, and not a chore. That being said, what also remains true is that the more you put into the TC, the more you'll get out. And the opportunity is here to start shaping the Ship's future direction. Please engage, please contact the LoE leads. |

CLOSING COMMENTS |
A fairly chunky report this time round, with a lot of think about. But hopefully this sets the conditions for a successful and active year going forwards. I repeat again - please consider engaging with the LoEs, suggesting your ideas and thoughts. Ultimately the chain of command can put hours of work into creating opportunities for you to have fun, but if Pilots don't volunteer their own time (and be appropriately rewarded for it) then much of this effort ends up nugatory. That being said, drop me an email, or Discord message and I'm always happy to chat through anything. High Admiral Mordechi Wolfe, Warrior Commodore |
