He knows as much about Vipers, Raptors and Battlestars as any BSG Fan ever will. If you cut him, he bleeds the Black & Gold of the Raven Battle Group. Working his way up in the Club from "Nugget" to Viper Jock to Squadron Leader to Raven CAG, he now has rank and title as Actual of his own Raven Group, the Gunstar "Trireme". As one who has hung out with him, I can tell you he is a solid member of any Team he joins and a valuable asset to any organization. Happy Birthday to Trireme's "Old Man", and one of my Favorite Ravens: Keith Ranson.</p>

<p>Listen up Troops: Today is the birthday of one of OIC Enforcer's favorite Devil Dogs and the good right hand of Raven Actual. "Skyblaster" has the pulse of the organization and spreads the word from Club and Chapter Leadership to all members. Most of us read his posts before we watch network news, 'cause it's more accurate, more useful and more fun. And he does it all from over half dozen or more time zones from the US. He's famous for what he doesn't do: He never gets on Actual's bad list, and he never ends up in the Brig, like some other MARDET I know. He's still all Raven Colonial Marine, and always a dependable Shipmate. Here's to you "Skyblaster", it's your Birthday, break some rules tonight. I'll delete the blotter reports tomorrow.</p>

<p>Monday, May 2 is Keith "Leonidas" Ranson's Birthday. The name synonymous with Toaster recycling. The man that invented Saturday night BFC chat-room Fleet Missions. Trireme Actual is top notch pilot and leader and former CAG, and earned his command at the first Commissioned Gunstar Escort in the Battlestar Raven Battle Group. Always ready to administer encouragement or a swift kick to motivate and get things done. Now if we could just get him to come out of his shy shell and open up a little it would be great.</p>
<p>The cake was delivered by Marines, but don't know if it came from his pilots or the Cylons. Either way, I'd have it checked by an EOD Tech.</p>
<p>So here's to one of the few pointy-nosed Viper jocks I'd follow on a walk-in-the-woods patrol. OOHRAH!!! SO SAY WE ALL!</p>

We consider him one our own, and submit that the Raven, in addition to being the Flag Ship of the Fleet, is his Ship. His dedication and contributions to the BFC and the Fleet match his formidable Leadership accomplishments to same. His collection of BSG memorabilia, including many screen-used items, is legend, as is his love of all things Syfy and Super Hero.
