Operations Office Report #3 – Operations Staffing Updates

October 25, 2024

Hello Bravo Fleet,

Here are a few updates from Operations that I would like to share with you.

Staffing Changes

First, I am thrilled to announce that Captain Callen Varro, also known as Hurkx to most, will be taking on the role of Deputy Operations Officer. Hurkx has spent the last eight months leading Task Force 17 as its Task Force Commanding Officer. He has consistently engaged with his members in the task force lounge with his T’Poll of the Week, which seems to be a hit and a great way to get his members chatting. He also helps encourage them to participate in the many activities that we have to offer. Because of all his hard work, Task Force 17 won the last Fleet Action, which is amazing!  His expertise and dedication will undoubtedly make a significant impact as we continue to support the Task Force Senior Staff members. 

Recently, Fleet Captain Ryoko Takato (RaWolfe) submitted his resignation as Task Force 86 Commanding Officer. He has served as TFCO for over a year, and I want to personally thank him for his dedication and mentorship of those in TF86. We wish him the best in his future endeavors within Bravo Fleet.

Task Force Staff Applications

We are currently looking for a few staff members to join the Operations Department.  If you are interested in joining, please apply and let us know which position(s) you are interested in. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Applications will remain open until the end of the day, server time, on November 10th.

Task Force Commanding Officer

Task Force Commanding Officers (TFCO) are the leaders of the Task Forces. They are responsible for developing camaraderie in their units, organizing competitions, and helping members navigate through the rank system by nominating the appropriate OCS rewards for their activity. They are also members of Bravo Fleet Command, where they have a voice in the overall direction of the fleet. Subordinate to the Bravo Fleet Operations Officer, they work with the other TFCOs to ensure consistent opportunities for members to get involved across the fleet. TFCOs must also be exemplars of activity by demonstrating at least moderately strong activity levels and participating conscientiously on Discord. A member should be at least a Lieutenant Commander to apply to this position, demonstrating familiarity with Bravo Fleet. Previous staff experience is not required.

Task Force Executive Officer

Task Force Executive Officers (TFXOs) are the deputy leaders of the Task Forces. They share the responsibility for developing a sense of camaraderie in their units, organizing competitions, and helping members navigate the rank system by nominating the appropriate OCS rewards for their activity. They are also members of Bravo Fleet Command, where they have a voice in the overall direction of the fleet.

Task Group Commanding Officers

Task Group Commanding Officers (TGCO) is a stepping stone to becoming TFXOs. Interacting with both the TFCOs and TFXOs, ask questions, and learn. TGCOs can assist with developing a sense of camaraderie within their units, organize competitions, and help mentor members. They work in partnership with their TFCOs and TFXOs to ensure consistent opportunities for members to get involved across the fleet.
