Seventh Fleet

Thanks to the USS Rendezvous

Our friends from the USS Rendezvous hosted a Star Party/Rocket Launch Campout in Trenton, Utah last weekend. Those who attended had a blast despite the overcast clouds shortening the astronomy. We had attendees from the USS Kelly, USS Rendezvous, USS Ticonderoga and USS Ursa Major. Unfortunately the party from the USS Retributor had run into car problems and couldn’t make it.

Besides the astronomy there were several other events that we participated in. Some command training was provided. The Rendezvous was able to demonstrate the new Seventh Fleet Science Academy. With the number of shops in the area, several supply runs were made. The kids had a blast playing with the different animals on the farm. The group participated in a D6 Star Wars Role Playing session. And one of the major highlights of the day was the Dutch Oven Ribs for dinner.

The primary goal of the campout was to get as many people to relax as possible.  Thanks to the efforts of Captain Trowbridge and her crew, I feel that this goal was accomplished.   Thanks guys, we are looking forward to the next campout.

Here is a note from the Executive Officer about the June USS  Ticonderoga meeting:

Greetings, Crew!
     Many thanks to those of you who braved the rain to join us at our little picnic.  We had fun, and lots of kids got wet.  =)
To those of you who participated in the Ticonderoga RPG run for us by the USS Retributor, please send me your mission logs.  (If you played one of the pre-made characters and can’t recall your character’s name, son;t worry about it.)  Tell me what you did, and please indicate where you left off.  =)  I intend to compile all of them and we will use them to bring everyone up to speed when we have our next game session.  I don’t know yet when that will be.  As soon as it can be coordinated, I will let you all know.  =)
      Many thanks also to Capt. Rex Rouviere and the crew of the Retributor for running the game, and playing with us. =)

Additional notes: Congratulations go out to Lt. (j.g.) Tim Madden for being named June Crewmember of the Month.  Tim has worked hard for several years on the USS  Ticonderoga website and will be missed when he moves his family to Nebraska this summer.  Also we had orders given out to a new crewmember, a recruit returned for her second meeting (and will receive her orders next month).  We also had a new recruit show up to check us out (he was brought by a friend who will earn 10 Leadership Points for him when he receives his orders) .  I also wanted to welcome the crewmembers who had not been to to a meeting in years.  It was good to see you.

USS Ticonderoga Monthly Meeting on June 9th

This Wednesday, June 9th, we will be holding our next USS Ticonderoga monthly meeting.  We always hold our regular monthly meeting on the Second Wednesday of the month.  Normally we would be meeting at the Weber County Library-Main Branch on 25th and Jefferson in Ogden.  However with the nice weather upon us we decided to hold the meeting at Lester Park right next to the library.   Instead of meeting at 7:00pm we will be meeting at 6:30pm at the pavilion next to the playground.  The kids can run and play while we eat (bring your own dinner) and hold the meeting.  At the meeting we give out orders, commendations and rank advancements.  The group also discusses upcoming events and participates in the planning for the club.  We also have a special event planned at this meeting.  Bring a friend and come by to have fun.

Site Updates

New ADVOTs uploaded

Greetings Everyone

We are still trying to get the new site up to 100% completed (at least for the launch) but we will also be making regular updates as well.   As some of these updates are completed we will post about it on the official blog.

The following new ADVOTs were uploaded for the crew to use.  Romulan Culture, Vulcan Culture, Starship Captains and Star Trek Nemesis.

Let us know if you have any feedback on the new USS Ticonderoga website.

Holiday

The first summer holiday of the year

Memorial Day Weekend is the first summer holiday of the year.  A lot of families and friends get out for that first road trip in the warm weather.  This is one of the biggest travel holidays in Utah.  As you are camping or spending time with family or what ever you are doing with this long weekend, please remember those who died to protect our freedoms.  Even now we still have husbands, wives, sons and daughters serving home and abroad so that we have the ability to take a three-day weekend.  Thank you all for what you do.

Please be safe on the roads.

Site Updates

The new website is progressing

So we are still getting content up on the new Ticonderoga website.  If you have been checking every day you may have seen some of the new items come up.  We are still getting photos and more artwork up as well.  Feel free to send any feedback on what you think so far.  This will always be a work in progress.
