Ship's Meeting Shady Oaks BBQ, Fort Worth, TX There was another nice turnout for our Ship's Meeting. In attendance were: BDR Clark (and Kang, his Treecat from the planet Sphinx), CDR Clark, LTJG Brulotte and his wife Melissa, LTJG Barnette, LTJG Fralicks, LT Cross, MCPT Marchant, MCPO Goulet, RADM Goulet, PO2 Chaffin, CDR Crouch, LT Cornatzer, and our special guest (and VRC) VADM Murphy. Our ship's Chief Medical Officer, CDR Clark, served as Officer of the Deck and provided the trivia quiz for this month's meeting. I believe everyone learned how little we knew about old nursery rhymes. Following a brief discussion of ship's funds and the Academy classes our ship's crew took, After-Action Reports were given on the ship's trip to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History to see the Indiana Jones exhibit. Then, we discussed some upcoming ship activities. Our Official Game Store, the Sci-Fi Factory, has invited the USS REGULATOR to attend a private showing of "Guardians of the Galaxy." September is Mirror-Mirror Month II; October is our Klingon Dinner Thing and the airshow at the Fort Worth Alliance Airport. We also have decided to have as our December activity to be an away mission to see the third Hobbit movie, and postpone our holiday party to the first weekend in January. We also reviewed the guidelines for bidding for a Region 3 Summit. The crew remains in favor of bidding for the 2017 Summit. Clark, commanding REGULATOR, out

Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology: The Exhibition. Fort Worth Museum of Science & History Combined Landing Party: USS REGULATOR/USS RACHEL GARRETT Three Marines from the USS Regulator were joined by the Captain of the USS Rachael Garrett to explore the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, concentrating on the traveling "Indiana Jones" exhibit. The landing party, consisting of CWO Glen Wilkerson, CDR Tracy Clark, BDR Tank Clark, and VADM Marian L. Murphy, arrived in three separate shuttles and joined up at around 1300 hours and were issued tablets by museum staff. These tablets enabled us to learn more details about the items being exhibited, as well as to participate in an interactive "treasure hunt." The exhibit had areas dedicated to each of the four "Indiana Jones" movies, as well as sections on real archaeology. The props on display were awesome. It was wonderful to get so close to these various things, as it enabled us to experience the great detail the artists put into them. There were mannequins dressed in costumes from the movies, and some of the other well-known props, like the idol from the beginning of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", a sarcophagus from the Well of Souls, the Ark itself, Coronado's Cross from "Temple of Doom", the shield of the knight from "Last Crusade", as well as both of the Grails... and many more. The exhibits on real archaeology were fascinating, too. Treasures from the ancient city of Ur, ancient coins from many cultures, papyrus from Ancient Egypt... lots of really ancient stuff.
Next, CWO Wilkerson returned to his shuttle, whilst BDR Clark and CDR Clark went to examine the "Dino Dig" section of the museum. Very interesting items on display here, but this section was clearly oriented more for children than adults. After ensuring we'd explored the whole area available to us, we returned to our shuttle. One should maintain situational awareness, however, even as the landing party mission is coming to a close. Clark, commanding Regulator, out.
