Chief of Operations, 011
Greetings
to the Fleet!
As usual, we're off to a busy start here. We are currently reviewing and creating
policies and procedures in regards to the AFED. As always, we are looking for your
input. An updated version of the P&Pand the business plan will be available at the
Midyear meeting.
As many of you already know, VADM David Hicks has resigned. Dave just didn't
have the time available that the position requires. As many of you know, Dave is
getting married this year over thanksgiving weekend and along with some other
personal issues, he just doesn't have the time. I thank Dave for his honesty and
forthrightness. Therefore, I am accepting applications for the Chief of Records
Admiralty Board position. Please refer to the AFED for minimum requirements; the
applicant must have good computer skills, experience with Excel and possibly Access
and be able to respond in a timely manner. Current Policies and Procedures requires a
48-hour turnaround time to requests for information. Must be able to play well with
others! I will make a decision from the applicants and hope to have the new person in
place by the Midyear meeting at InConJunction.
Some other changes with regard to the AB include ADM Tony Scott taking the
place as the Chief of Finance and LTjg Diane Carpenter as the Acting Deputy Chief of
Records. If you need to email Tony, you will find his contact information on the first
page included in the list of AB members. Those of you that have questions for Diane
can email [email protected].
Also, Starfleet Command's 30'h anniversary celebration will be held at the new
Starbase Indy's Dinner with the Stars. Price for the dinner is $50 or you can get an allinclusive weekend ticket so that you can enjoy the convention as well. We are planning
a formal gala Starfleet uniform or black-tie. Details to follow in future emails and
newsletters!
In closing, I'd like to continue to encourage the Fleet to recruit new members and
to retain the ones we have. The Admiralty Board will be looking at a new award this
year that will go to the unit who maintains the greatest retention of it's members for
the year.
Kindest Regards,
FADM Mark A Bischoff

Hailing Frequencies

Greetings Fleet! I would like to toke a moment to updote you on a few things that are
going on in the Communications Deportment.
As you can see, the newsletter has a new look. Joseph Campbell and Sue Phillips have
agreed to become a port of the Communications Deportment. FCAPTCampbell has been
on asset to the orgnization for a number of years now. He took it upon himself to host
online games of Starfleet Command IIIwhich were warmly received. We greatly appreciate
him stepping up to toke on this responsibility. Although Lt. Phillips has only been with us a
short time, her experience in the RWin proofing and writing should help make the
newsletter even better. We would like to thank Joe and Sue for joining our team.
Contact Joe at [email protected] and Sue at [email protected].
The Fleet website is now being hosted on a new dedicated server. This means that
there are fewer sites being hosted on the original server which means everything runs a little
foster. This new server also gives us options for SPAMfilters which will hopefully help
everyone with the amount of SPAMreceived. When everything was switched over to the new
server this meant all new email addresses. In the post, the passwords were either all the
some or very easy to hock. SO, I have created new passwords for everyone. If you have not
received information regarding your account, please contact either myself or RoyJackson.
Another thing I wonted to talk about is the website Message Boord. I have received a
few messages from Quadrant Two regarding our message board. I guess they have been
shocked by the lock of participation Quadrant One has hod on its own board. I explained
that many people soy they don't understand how the whole message board system works.
We have been working on something that will help people room around the boord, but it
really is very easy. At a glance you will notice that the board is separated in chapters or
areas of discussion. You can click on a section and read the posts mode or you can click on
"New Topic" and post one of your own. One thing to remember is that the default is to
show the lost 30 days of discussion. You might need to change that to show all posts. This
option should be located just below the lost posting. I would like to see more discussion on
the Boord since this allows everyone including potential members to see some of what we
discuss. Please try to get familiar with the Fleet Message Boord and toke a moment to talk
to other TREKfans.
Finally, I wonted to talk to the various Starbases out there. The Fleet website offers a
web page for all Starbases and gives you the ability to make changes online. If you were
unaware of this or not sure how to access these services, I would like for you to contact
either myself or RoyJackson, the Fleet web designer. Fleet has also assigned email
addresses for each Starbase and its commanding officer and first officer. Again, if you have
not been given this information, be sure to contact someone in the Communications
Deportment.
Respectfully,
ADM Kim Huff

Chief of Operations, 0.1
Greetings Fleet,
Wow what a start to the year. Things are going on everywhere in Fleet. This
year Starbases IV;V and VI are planning on Fleet meetings in their area. I am also
working on the SPARIII, updating the SPARI and II; Creation of Starbase 2, and other
activities.
VADM Vince Williams and I created and launched the SPARIII report to roll up what
the starbases and ships have been reporting. We think we have the revisions to the
SPAR I and lis to where we like them that will help in combining the fleet's vision into
our reporting. It will also help us focus on them better. The reports are available on
my website as well as uploaded to my operations, Starbases and the Fleet Iistserves.
Vince and I combine your reports, SPARI and II, into a SPAR III, that report is then
emailed to the Admiralty Board and the Fleet. For historical purposes it is vitally
important that the Starbase commanders submit their ships SPAR I reports with their
SPAR lis. The reason is that after VADM Vince Williams writes up the SPARIII and
submits that to me for my comments and approval he then combines it all together
and sends it to the Fleet Archives. So please fill them out correctly and send them
forward. Before I go into some of the great activities I would like to talk about the
creation of Starbase 2.
I am recommissioning Starbase Two for the New England area of the United
States. This Starbase will service all the states north of north Carolina and
east/Northeast of Ohio and Kentucky. Initially this Starbase will have five ships and
outposts. I have contacted all the Ship Captains and sent an email advertising the
position to the listserve. I will announce the new commander at the MARCON
convention at the end of May. This has been under discussion for several years and
now is the time. This is exciting and opens the door for more growth and opportunities
for the Northeast! As a result Starbase Three, Four and One were modified and
resulted in no ships transferring commands. On to Activities.
Oh my gosh! Activities. Anyone that has or has played Starfleet Battles will enjoy
the computer version. Thanks to FCAPTCampbell, of Starbase 4 and Captain of the
USS Churchill, everyone can now enjoy it together online. I have played a few times
myself and joining the gang in the fleet actions and the free for ails have been great!
We need more participants though. So go out and buy the Starfleet Command III
game and join us. Right now we are playing almost every Thursday night. Watch the
Iistserve for exact times etc ... Also on my agenda is to attend MARCON and Starbase
5's meeting and Dragon"Con and Starbase 4's meeting. Watch the next newsletter for
activities going into the rest of the year.
Sincerely,
ADM Andy Sams

THANK YOU
I would like to take the time to thank all of you that contributed to the last
newsletter. For those that put it together and those who said all those nice things
about Paul.
I knew that Paul was well liked in Fleet as well as Fandom and as a person but
you really don't know how much until something like this happens.
Paul had a rich and wonderful life both in Fleet and out. He made so many
friends who became extended family.
I had always heard that no one is an Island as long as he has friends and that is
one thing I say about Paul; he wasn't an island.
It was also nice to see how much Paul has touched the lives of so many different
people.
Again Thanks to all who contributed to the last newsletter.

Many of our ships within Starbase 06 are geographically close to one another.
As a result some ships have begun sponsoring multi-ship activities. In March, the USS
Adventure hosted a Wine Tasting Party and invited members of the USS Endeavor and
the USS Halsey. It was a wonderful experience and a great time was had by all. I can
tell you from my attendance it was a pleasure to meet Starfleet members from other
ships, find out what their ship activities are for the year, and to generally socialize and
meet new friends within the Starfleet family. As each of you plan ship activities this
summer, I would encourage each of you to consider planning multi-ship
activities. Finally, I'd like to announce that Starbase 06 has a new official website
(http://starbase06.starfleet-command.com).
Our Webmaster is currently working hard
at making the navigation menu a bit more user friendly. On this site you'll find out a
huge amount of information that will help you become more familiar with Starbase
06. Recent additions to the website include:
Personal Biographies for Senior Staff (CO, FO, XO)
SFC Experience History for Senior Staff (CO, FO, XO)
Job Descriptions for Senior Staff (CO, FO, XO)
Current Starbase 06 Rankings
SPAR-1 Scheduled Due Dates for 2004
Recent Starbase 06 News for 2004
And Much More
In closing, I would encourage each of you to take time to view the website and
learn about your Starbase 06. We're in the process of developing a Starbase 06
Calendar which will list Starbase 06 sponsored activities, local conventions, and allow
your ship to submit to the calendar its multi-ship events.
I am very much looking forward to serving you and your ship this year as we make
2004 the year for Starbase 06. As one of the largest Starbases within Starfleet, you
and your ships are the ones who really make a difference. Your dedication and hard
work shows through your monthly meetings, your ships' dedication to Fleet Sponsored
Projects such as SETI, Pop-Tab Contest, and "Make a Difference Day". Without you
(the ships), Starbase 06 would not exist.

UBB IOWA NCC~&7B
Greeting Fleet,
As announced in previous newsletters, Hailing Frequencies, will be profiling a ship
from every region in SFC beginning with Starbase 01. The Starbase Commanding
Officer of each region nominates units for consideration. Each Starbase CO sets their
own criteria for nomination, however we suggest timely SPARreporting, charity works,
& publication of a unit newsletter, be among the criteria used in nominating ships to be
profiled.
Ships selected for profiling represent the finest in SFC and their particular region.
Once chosen for profiling that unit in no longer eligible to be profiled in future issues.
Bysharing what other ships are doing, we can all learn from one another. The
communication department hopes these articles will help to foster unity amongst every
ship and all members of SFC.

IOWA is, Commodore Sharon Boren. A small ship with a big heart, the USS IOWA and
her crew have won numerous awards from SFC, pride themselves on their charity work,
and try hard to make a difference in their community, region and Starbase. They are a
shinning example how every ship in fleet can make a difference no mater the crews
compliment.
Earth coordinates for The USS IOWA are Western lowa35 miles south of Sioux
City, IA62 miles north of Omaha, NE. Currently the USS IOWA has 4 Starfleet Officers
assigned to her. Her First Officer is, Commander Honey Davis.

The Romulan Star Empire International, (RSE)was founded in 1990 by
Cheryl Whitmore, who became the club's first President or Praetor. During
Praetor Aidoann's tenure, the RSEcreated it's first website, began
publication of its newsletter, Star Path, and established a reputation for itself
as an up and coming Star Trek fan organization.
In 1997, the presidency was passed to Praetor Ceridwen, Trisha Rohal.
Organizational materials were updated, and their distribution improved, so
that in less than two years membership had tripled.
In late 2000, Trisha Rohal stepped down and for the next three years,
the basic structure and administrative guidelines of the RSEwere scrutinized
and rewritten by all those who were dedicated to ensuring a secure future
for the club. These included Ryan Bauer (Rameus Ryannius), Janson Thomas
(Tarsus vandor), Charles Hooper, Kyle Starosiak, Selessa Pitts and Trisha
Rohal.
Today, the RSEhas established itself as THE Romulan fan club including a
credit in "Trekkies" and a piece of it's logo, the Decobird, shown in The Last
Unicorn Role-playing Game-The Romulans. The club is restructuring once
again as more members have expressed their interest in forming local
chapters and in taking leadership positions outside of role-play. The
Imperial Academy offers citizens educational and cultural training. Online
real-time role-play has just been launched and with it a unique opportunity
to create a fictional character and interact with other club members.
As friends and affiliates, I'd like to remind
everyone that you also have the
opportunity to participate and
learn more about the RSEand
The Rihannsu Way.
Please feel free to contact
me or another RSE
member, if you'd like m
information on how to
become involved.

I.ve read several times in SPARs and in emails the comment that a ship or person
is recruiting yet I don't see results in numbers for that ship in growth. When I dig a
little, I find that the reason is that the recruiting activity consisted of putting out flyers
asking people to join. Flyers are placed in gaming stores, conventions or in movie
theaters that are showing a Science Fiction movie. These are all great ideas and they
do get our name and 'face' out there in the form of name recognition, but they are not
successful in getting that new member to sign on the line, write a new membership
check and mail it in. I encourage other ships like the Endeavour, the Bismarck, the
Adventure and more to also write articles on effective recruiting methods and tools to
achieve growth for SFC.
Not that everyone wants to get as big as they are. Most long term successful
ships tend to have a membership size of between 10 30 members. The question is
how to get there. The easiest way may seem to advertise or to put out flyers like I
mentioned at the start of this article and they probably are ...the easiest. The most
effective though are far from that and I can argue that it isn't anyone thing, but a
combination of ideas that work the best. What is the best and easiest recruiting tool?
YOU! That's who. Getting that reluctant co-worker or friend to come to a ship outing
or away mission is the best most successful way to get new members. Not only that,
but those members will be the best seeds for future success and growth that you can
imagine. Why? Simple, they were your friends to begin with. Employers and high
paid corporate recruiters will tell you that the best new employee is the one referred
from an existing employee. Another great way is to go where the people are that
share your common interests.
Conventionsl Setting up an effective and powerful convention table or room is
also very successful, but requires work and money. If there ever was a day that setting
down a stack of flyers on an unattended table netted one new member I'd like to hear
it. During my tenure as the Captain of the Adventure we never did. When we first
started recruiting we set up a table put our flyers and sat behind it with a nice poster
with pictures on it from our picnics, away missions, and meetings on it. You must man
the table the whole time it is up. Obviously your there for the convention too, so
develop shifts for the crew to man. Manning it throughout is only part of it however,
you need to engage people when they come up to your table. Whenever anyone
would come by our table to look at our flyers and pictures we were right there saying,"
Hello," asking them if they ever joined a fan club and then walking them through the
pictures like you would a friend through a photo album. What I'm saying here is don't
just man the table. Engage them and you will know pretty quickly if a.) They are
interested, b.) You are interested in them, and c.) If you want to offer them a
membership on your ship.
That gives you a couple of good ideas, recruit your friends and co-workers, and
sponsor a well planned convention table. Go out there, engage other fans and help
them feel welcome in the best fan based club in the world!

Fan Run Cans
If you have never been to a fan run Con you really need to try and make at least
one! Marcon is a pillar convention for the Midwest. It has it all, panel sessions, parties,
a costume competition, parties, filking, dances, fan group tables, (did I mention
parties?) and gaming. If I missed something I apologize, but there is just so much to do
and see. I really like them because I get the opportunity to meet friends, members of
fleet and fans of Trek and other cool science fiction.
I mentioned parties quite often and I know not everyone does them, but they are
an integral part of a successful Con. Most fan based cons will have several room
parties that fellow fans have for everyone to meet and greet and generally have a great
time. At Marcon the party ruler is the UBS Casual. They are a ship of Trek fans that
specialize in planning and throwing parties. This sounds weird, but they have it down
to a science to ensure everyone a great and safe party time.
The panel sessions are also very educational and entertaining. This year I went to
a panel on 'What are the EPAimplications on the death of Godzilla?" What a hoot! The
panel had a consultant from one of the Godzilla movies, the convention's Science Guest
of Honor and even a representative from the EPA. The discussion on what do with the
remains of the radioactive monster made me a bit nervous as I thought some in the
audience were serious. The poor guy from the EPAtried to do everything he could to
give his answers with a straight face. The kicker was the Science Guest of Honor whose
science fact and fiction responses were delivered with rapid fire british wit. Needless to
say I was very well entertained for the hour or so of the panel discussion.
There are panel times set for filking, a whole series of How To sessions from
writing to making costumes, but one that brought both together was the costume
contest or aptly named Masquerade. This is another must see event because it is so
much more. At the fan run conventions that I've been to which include but are not
limited to Marcon, InConJunction, and Conglomeration, comedic skits and music are
often included to spotlight the creativity and workmanship of the costumes. At the
Marcon Masquerade this year they included some filking by some of the greats in
business that kept us well entertained while the judges decided on the winners. If
you've never been there are many award categories which is probably why it takes so
long as the awards can be as creative as the costumes! In my book they are all winners
for having the nerve to dress up in some of the craziest outfits I've ever seen and
parade in front of hundreds of other science fiction fans.
Gaming and fan tables were plentiful. I personally am not a big gamer anymore,
but fan run cons are great if you are! Marcon had space available about the size of at
least two regulation NBA basketball courts, and on top of that a good size room full of
computer based games for all to play. Fan tables were everywhere for your ship to set
up and get new members.

B.lO & .lohn Trimble ~
Bio and John Trimble
It was absolutely wonderlul to meet Bjo Trimble and her husband
John. If you don't know who they were either you have your head
buried in Star Trek sand or you're just too young. OUCH! Am I that
old? Bjo was instrumental in flat out saving Star Trek. She and a close
nit group of Trekkers did a letter writing campaign that pushed the
Original Star Trek series to its "magical" third season. Why is this
important? Well if it didn't make it a third season it wouldn't qualify for
syndication which we all know is what kept Trek going on into
cartoons, conventions and then into the movies which ..... Well you
know 4 more series shows and 10 movies! Take that Star Wars!
*#$%&! Just kidding! Bjo and John were 'Fan Guests of Honor' at
Marcon 39 this year and they were by far the best ones I've ever seen
at any convention I've been to yet.
She talked of those early days, but also told us of stories of visiting
all the series sets! She has in essence been our voice and Paramount's
eyes and ears for Trek fandom. Her fondest memory was of the last
episode of Deep Space 9. She and her family, one in a wheel chair,
were invited in to the rarest of opportunities to witness the taping of
the series finale. The cast and staff ensured that they got the best
vantage points to see each scene and joined them for lunch and stayed
with them all the way into the night when they finally finished
shooting. She even saw the saddest part of the day when they started
taking down the set for the Promenade.
If you ever see the opportunity to go to a convention where she is
in attendance it is a must see! Bjo and John Trimble were approached
by ADM Lillian Sams to be
SFC Honorary Captains and
they eagerly accepted!
