Region 3 Summit/Third Brigade Muster
MCM FunDome, Odessa, TX First Officer Clark, reporting. After enjoying a delightful repast at the hotel's breakfast buffet, we all repaired to Room A for opening ceremonies. The regular speeches were made, and a good time was had by all. Immediately following Opening Ceremonies (unlike in years previous) the Third Brigade held its annual Muster. The Third Brigade enjoyed the presence of our STARFLEET Marine Corps' Commandant, Gen McGowan. The Muster was , as usual, done methodically and in good order. The members of the Brigade Staff were able to discuss things going on in our area of interest, awards were issued, questions asked and answered, and after Muster, photos were taken. Awards issued to members of Phoenix Squadron:
The panels this year were, I'm told, interesting. However, of the two I wanted to attend, one was held during the time immediately following the Brigade's Muster (when photos were being taken), so was almost over by the time I left Muster... the other was suddenly -- apparently randomly -- re-scheduled and re-located, and I was unable to attend it. There was a miniature golf tournament, held inside the hotel at it's 9-hole course right outside my room. Quite entertaining! In the evening, the Admiral's Ball was (as usual) a wonderful occasion. The food was not quite as good as at the Dress Mess, but it was okay; the charity auction garnered a large amount of money. The Final Mission ceremony was held after the meal but before the award presentations. As usual, it was very moving. Commander Clark and I volunteered fairly late in the day, to fill in for a couple of people who were not present. I'm thankful, as were I not trying to keep a military bearing, I believe I would have cried my eyes out. I had a wonderful time, and was so happy to see everyone again. On Sunday, before the Closing Ceremonies, a meeting of the Council of Commanding Officers (CCO) was held; in the absence of the Captain, I attended as Exec. There was no quorum. Clark, First Officer, USS Regulator, out.
