Procedures for starting a new ship chapter in the Battlestar Fan Club.

         Here is information you will need to know and requirements in order to have a new chapter officially commissioned.  Right now as a member in the BFC your initial rank is Ensign within the Battlestar Fan Club Fleet (BFC).  Anyone starting new starts at the rank.  However you are wanting to start a Chapter and I will help you from beginning to end until you become “Officially Commissioned”.  Until such time your Chapter is “Under Construction”.  Once the Chapter is commissioned you will be promoted to the rank of Major.  Instead of being promoted to Colonel quickly I want to make sure you can handle leading a Chapter and the people who have joined you as the ships crew. Promotions are not just handed out for Command you must earn it.  Attitude reflects leadership so your crew will look to you for guidance.  I can be reached at anytime on the BFC website and you can leave me a message there and I will contact you.  Every ship commissioned in the BFC starts at a certain rank in order to allow growth.  Naming your ship can be done by you or a group vote.

        The ship name cannot be called by any ship which has appeared on the Original Series or New Battlestar Galactica show.  Those ships Galactica and Pegasus etc represent the First Fleet.  We honor them by following their lead as they battle the Cylons to get away in search of the far away planet Earth.  You can keep the name you choose among you and your shipmates.  However, once you pick a name there is no changing it for something better. Once you have the name, I will issue you your ship Registry Number (BSR/GSR/Civilian).  The name and registry is how your ship and crew will be identified here in the BFC.  This is NOT a race to get a Chapter started immediately instead it needs to be done correctly there is a process.  If not you and your Chapter will slowly fail and fade away.  I don’t want that to happen.  The commissioning process is not a long one unless the criteria’s that are mentioned are not meant.  I am here to support provide guidance, feedback and assist you anyway that I can for you and your ship to be successful.

        Below you will find more information on the aspects for starting a Chapter and guidelines / procedures.  On the BFC site please go into the forum section and you will also find Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).  I am releasing them as I go and I am big on Quality Control b/c fast and short cuts can undermine a fan club or a chapter. Battlestar Galactica is what we want to keep and strive for according to our founders.  Always consider short cuts really do not cut it and any hidden agendas will eventually come out into the open and cause issues.  In the BFC its all about having fun and leaving the drama in the cold vastness of space.

         Here is the formation you will need in order to form a new ship chapter. There are a few stipulations which I will list below and if you have any more questions please let me know.

1- A Chapter cannot be started if another chapter is 1 to 2 hours away. From your exact locations this is important.  This is to help Chapters not get into any issues in recruiting new members.  Instead it helps the chapter grow in numbers and add team cohesiveness which makes you all stronger as members.

2- There are manning rules which are carefully watched from Command HQ. In
order to launch your own Battlestar, Basestar, Gunstar or other type ship regardless if it’s from the new series or old you need a minimum of 15 people. If the number gets below 15 you risk losing your Chapter, or it can be downgraded to a different ship classification of my choosing.  Until you can get the manning numbers back up.

        You can always have more people, but for starting out you only need the above numbers. Your Chapter/Ship can be from the Original or Re-Imagined series. As always I am here to help I have a great reputation in the BFC so
you can always feel free to ask about anything to help you out.

POSITIONS REQUIRED to be filled in order to launch ships is listed below.

Battlestar, Basestar, Gunstar or other Type = 15 People  the positions are listed.
Commanding Officer
Executive Officer
Operations Officer (2^nd in Command just below the XO)
Communications Officer
Chief Engineering Officer
Chief of Security
Commander, Airwing Group CAG (Only for Battlestars and Gunstars)   Have your CAG contact me via email so I can give them more details on their specific duties aside from the norm.

Manning Levels:

       Manning levels are crucial to the success of a Chapter if you drop below the 15 member count.  You risk your Chapter going into decommissioned status b/c you as the Commanding Officer failed to maintain it.  However, if you know you are going to lose a member or members.  Please email or contact me immediately in order to come up with an extension or game plan.  It helps to keep you honest as well as me in order for me to perform my duties effectively. You will be given the opportunity to recruit personnel in order to retain your manning status.  Always keep track of your personnel aboard ship. Part of your duties as a Commanding Officer as well as your Executive Officer.

       Manning aboard a Battlestar is everything if a Chapter falls under manning in this case less than 15 members. The Chapter will go from active duty into a dry dock status until the manning level are raised back to the standard level no exceptions.  This is the responsibility of the Commanding and Executive Officer.  Smaller ship manning level will be discussed in a different topic. Monthly ship status can be emailed to me for activity as well as manning status.

            It is the mission of every Commanding Officer to keep the Chapter (SHIP) clear of dry dock.  Everyone is aware there will be problems in each chapter as well as disharmony or lack of cooperation.  I am confident everyone will do their very best to be cooperative and fun well-rounded individuals.  I will not decommission any Chapter unless I have no choice and have exhausted every option.  The shipboard reporting every month will be the standard on communications with Commander, BFC.  When implanted I will have a section which I will record all Chapters reporting in for each month. 

Honorary Membership Status:

         You as the Commanding Officer can grant any member within the BFC Honorary Membership status.  Be advised that Honorary Members do not count as part of your crew manning and should never be listed as such.  They are already serving on a BFC Chapter, so be careful pouching rule can be harsh.  Another reason I inform all new personnel to please read all the SOPs I have posted and there will be more.  In order for someone out of the BFC to be granted Honorary Membership(HM) you can grant as well they don’t have to be part of the BFC in order to be HM onboard ship such as friends, family or a BSG Actor/ Actress.  If you have any further questions email for more details.

Ship reporting failure:

             All BFC Chapters will be obligated to submit a Dradis Status Report (DSR) to me in order to maintain contact and continuity throughout the Fleet.  It will contain areas for you to fill out such as name, crew total, problems, assistance required and much, much more.  It a great tool and it helps me to help everyone in the BFC Fleet!   If a Chapter fails to report 30 days of the actual reporting day said chapter goes may go to dry dock.  No comms from the senior three as I called them, (Commanding Officer, Executive Officer and Operations Officer) ship falls into a 30 day dry dock period.  If after 30 days there is still no communications I will try to reach out to the senior three and get a status.   If there is no reply from my sub-space communications and I will give a few days.  If not the Chapter will go into a 60 dry dock period.  Here is where the ship get closer to getting decommissioned.  From here I will try and get a hold of anyone on the ship to establish comms.  If no one contacts me then the ship drops into a critical status with 90 days total now and the ship will be decommissioned.  The Dradis Status Reporting doesn’t have to be if you do not want to, but a simple email will suffice.

            In order to regain your Chapter again there will be a 30 days re-commissioning period for the ship to launch again.  If any of the senior three will be away please contact me, so I know who will be submitting reporting in absence of the Commanding Officer.

Promotion cycle:

            As the Commanding Officer you will be allowed to promote within your Chapter. I caution you about being rank heavy if people work hard and deserve it then by all means.  However, if they are just along to ride the bus then don’t even if you lose a crewmate.  People should be for the love and joy of BSG fandom not just b/c of rank.  This method also help you know who the real fans are.  As a Major or Colonel you can promote to the highest rank below yours.  Once you reach rank of Commander then you can then promote someone to Colonel.  Yes, you can have two Colonels on the same Chapter it is not an issue.  As the Fleet Admiral I reserve the right to promote said chapter leaders to the rank of Commander.  If they work hard and can show proof to back it up all in good time b/c I don’t believe in rushing anyone through the ranks.  Many BSG Fans want the rank, but none want to put in the effort to know they have earned it. All I ask personally is to not promote people to quickly just ensure they earn it b/c it means they will hard to keep the Chapter going and for the next higher rank.  There is an official promotion cycle I am working on, but I am still working things out.  Once it is ready, I will release as an SOPs.

         There are a few other key areas, but we can touch on those when over email, so there is no confusion. Remember if you have any questions contact me and I will respond.   Once commissioned I will release to your Ship Seal logos, Official Commissioning Letter with your first set of orders and I will make an ALL HANDS announcement to the BFC Community on your Chapter Commissioning Day. If you need help making squadron logos I can also assist with that.  I am happy to see you have chosen interest in making a new Chapter within the Battlestar Fan Club.

         I am here to help please email me anytime CAG_VF84@yahoo.com and I will get back to you soon. I am US Navy retired military as it is an Honor to serve in real life as it is in the Sci Fi community.  Be safe and watch out for Cylons in your area of operations. ~Salutes~

Respectfully,
FADM Rivera, M.A.(CF)
Fleet Commander, BFC

SHIP TO SHIP TRANSFER:: 

            The following is a policy to give guidance to Battlestar Galactica Fan Club members on transferring from one ship to another.  Once a member joins a particular ship in the BFC Fleet he or she must serve on board for 6 months.  Regardless of the ship classification whether it is military or civilian.  Once the 6 months have elapsed a member can submit a request to transfer to another ship in the Fleet.  However there are a few key points a member needs to be aware prior to submitting a transfer request.

- Member must inform their ship Commanding Officer he or she wishes to transfer to another command via email.  The email will give the current Commanding Officer the opportunity to interview the member about the transfer.  Anything which helps COs to be come better or make their ships better is a benefit.  Perhaps a member may feel the ship really isn’t active and may wish to go else where.

- The gaining Commanding Officer will contact the current member ship CO in order for both to concur on the transfer.  It is professional courtesy making both Commanding Officers aware of the member intent to transfer.

- All transfer will be forwarded to Admiral Rivera Fleet Commander, BFC for final disposition.  Once all parties concur the transfer is finalized and the gaining command is assigned the member as part of their crew.  Any and all information concerning the member is to be forwarded via email to gaining Commanding Officer.

 - Transferring from BFC ship to CDF and back is the same procedures.  Take into account before running a transfer request the 6 months obligation aboard ship must be completed.

- All transfer will be conducted within a 4 to 5 days without any delays.  The only person who can cancel a transfer request is the member.  Denial of a transfer will reside the Fleet Commander, BFC.  If a transfer is denied a detail reason will be provided to all parties involved.

            The ultimate goal is to honor a member request as long it’s within reason.  Commanding Officer will be required to main a solid ship roster.  Once a member has completed their 6 months service aboard your ship they can choose to remain or transfer.  Please extend them every courtesy when they request a transfer.  As long as the above parameters are met they are will within their rights to request a transfer.  If different situations arise then I will revise this guidance to include said examples.

            Any questions can be forwarded to me via email at CAG_VF84@yahoo.com  please allow 24 to 48 hours for a response.   Thank you for your attention and cooperation in this matter.

There is a new Comic-Con in Tyler, Texas this November. I am not aware of any sci-fi representation YET...so that must be remedied ASAP! For any interested, here is a link to contact, set up tables, or just suit up in full battle rattle and represent! I intend to. Good hunting! So say we all!

so glad Keith Ransom told me that the Fayetteville Comic Con is in Fayetteville NC - not ARK.  I only missed it by one state

It seems that for Fayetteville Comic Con,The 3rd time is the Charm.

After 2 previous attempts to have A BSG guest grace the con(Noah Hathaway,2016,who had to pull out because of scheduling conflicts,and, Richard Hatch,2017,who passed one month after the announcement of his being A guest),The premier con of the sandhills of NC is having Jack Stauffer,aka Bojay, as part of it's guest list this october 19-20.

Jack will be meeting and greeting geeks from all walks of life,giving autographs, being part of A BSG panel,and even talking about his experiences in the Acting game;I myself can vouch that he is an extraordinary entertainer!

And, Lords of Kobol willing, this will lead to other BSG stars,from both series, coming to the All American City!

Bust open a keg of Ambrosia. Glasses up! Happy Birthday Leonidas. So say we all! Slainte!

Just a heads up to one and all. Chewie was not a member of the Colonial Fleet, but he was a comrade in arms, and beloved by many of us. He was a good guy in real life as well. Rest In Peace. So say we all.

Good Evening Colonials,

I would like to take a moment of my time to wish all of you and your love ones, a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.  2018 has been one hell of a year for the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club.  But with your continued support, 2019 would be an even better year.  We thank you all, the members and fans for all the support you guys have given the BFC through the years.  The Battlestar Galactica Fan Club is turning 19 years old this coming July 1, 2019.  That is one hell of an accomplishment.  I mean, how many organization can say that they have been around for that long and still going strong.  And that would have not been made possible without you, the members and fans, support.

Stay safe during the holidays and God bless to all of you and your family.

BFC President

A true American hero passed today: Senator John McCain.

He was a man who was always true to his convictions and during his time of service both in the military & as Senator he always put the American people first.

As a Senator, he was always willing to reach across the aisle to work with his colleagues on issues of importance & was respected by all.

There many have been disagreements along the way, but Senator McCain understood that politics need not be personal, that you can disagree with someone and still like them.

Point in case, Vice President Biden and Senator Edward Kennedy were long time friends of his.

He set a good example for not only other politicians but for the American people.

Senator McCain...though I can't say that he was a fan of Battlestar Galactica or not...understood the credo that "There is only one race, the human race"...as he recognized that one of the underpinnings of our great republic lie in the fact that we are a nation of immigrants, bringing the best from around the world to diversify & make our country great.

As a man of conviction, he sometimes flew in the face of his own party when he needed to make a stand, because he always put country first.

He also knew that the foundation of our country lay not only in it's people, but also in our constitution, which he adhered to every day in his public service.

Senator McCain had faith in the American people & knew that our country has never ceased being great, it always has been great, is great & always will be great because of the strength of its people and that faith was unflagging.

As a veteran, he always championed veteran's rights and was a strong supporter of our military, of our great men & women in uniform.

It also says volumes about him, that he asked two former political adversaries, President George W. Bush & President Barack Obama to both give eulogies at his funeral, again proving that politics need not be personal.

The country lost a great statesman today.

May he rest in peace.

SO SAY WE ALL!

Shawn O'Donnell

Greetings, all! Thanks for the add.

SSWA

Hi to all of you - -

So many of have met and shared stories at various cons over the years. I know we are all disappointed that no con, event, or promoter in the USA felt the 40th anniversary of the original show was worth celebrating. Richard was the driving force for keeping the original series and its cast visible and his passing unfortunately dimmed the light on the old show.

However I have some good news. www.comicconventionscotland.co.uk Comic con Scotland has chosen to celebrate the 40th milestone at their 2018 show in Edinburgh November 10 and 11. Dirk Benedict, Laurette Spang, Herb Jefferson, Terry Carter, and I will be there. I am also fairly certain Anne Lockhart will be present although that is not yet official.

So - this is likely the last opportunity for fans of the original show to see this many original cast members in the same place at the same time - get autographs, take photos, and listen to great stories from the original show.

And what a venue - Edinburgh Scotland. For all the European fans this is a fabulous chance to see everyone closer to home. For our American fans, what a great way to visit historic Scotland, see where they film Outlander and the Crown and take in a con.

If you think travelling to the UK might be expensive I would urge you to check out airfares and the hotel rates. You will find that in many cases you can go cheaper than many of the previous venues in the states.

To all of the fans of the original BSG - thanks so much for the love and support you have given us over the years. I hope you will all try to have one great final party.

Jack "Bojay" Stauffer

I would just like to say how Honoured i am to be selected for this appointment and will Endevor to uphold the spirit and Community of the Battlestar Family. be assured their will be a lot for me to learn and uphold, and i will start my commission by saying
"Spartan Squadron Report in"

Colonials and Members of the Fleet,

This tradition was originally started by the Founder of the BFC, Shawn O'Donnell. He had asked me to create these special awards to recognize individuals whose work ethics for the BSG fandom, goes above and beyond for the enjoyment of the fans.   And these individuals certainly deserved these awards.

** THESE ARE VERY UNIQUE AWARDS AND NOT JUST GIVEN FOR ANY REASON. It had to be earned! **

ORDER OF THE COLONIES-  The highest BFC Award

ORDER OF THE RISING STAR- The 2nd highest BFC Award

ARROW OF APOLLO-  The 3rd highest BFC Award

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE- The 4th highest BFC Award

Karl Kuhlenschmidt-  Order of the Colonies

As most of you know, Karl was the Master Builder of the Battlestar Raven and build the one and ONLY Classic Series Colonial Viper in existence in the United States,seen in over 40 years.  What is so unique and very important about this is he build it out of his home garage.  This whole project was self-funded by members of Team BSG Viper.  He dedicated his time building the Viper everyday, rain or shine, after work.  Even when he was under pressure because time was running as Comicpalooza 2018 fast approaches, he kept going with his goal in mind, that he needs to finished the Viper because he did not want t disappoint the fans that was coming to Comicpalooza to see it.  And did just that and persevered.   Karl is also a member of the Raven Colonial Marines.  When he is not building the Viper and would go to conventions, he would dressed up as a Raven Colonial Marine representing the RCMs.

George Mellis-  Order of the Rising Star

Where there is a Master Builder, there are also those who supports the Master Builder in his task.  George was the electronics expert of Team BSG Viper.  He help Karl install all those beautiful electronics you see on the Colonial Viper cockpit, to make the fans experience getting inside the cockpit of the Viper, as real as it can get.  And he certainly did a phenomenal job.  He too contributed to the expense of building the Colonial Viper.

Paul Oakley- Order of the Rising Star

Paul was the logistic support individual ( manpower ) for Team BSG Viper.  His constant support of not only Battlestar Raven as the Raven Marine NCOIC and one of the Admins on both the Battlestar Raven and BFC site, his attention to detail is beyond reproach and will not hesitate to ensure things are alway in order.  He takes initiatives to get things done and corrected immediately for the BFC and Battlestar Raven.

Ralph Duran- Arrow of Apollo

Ralph Duran is such a trooper.   This Colonial Warrior is always ready to help in anyway he can.  And he does it with such enthusiasm as well.  He was certainly a big help during Comicpalooza 2018.  He help so many fans assisting them, both young and old, climb aboard the Colonial Viper, so they can sit inside and relieve their memories of the show and what was it like to sit behind the cockpit of a Colonial Viper. Since he became a member of the Battlestar Raven, he has represented the group with honor.

CONGRATULATIONS to all of you on this special award.  May you continue to help lead the way in "Keeping The Faith Alive" for the many fans all around the world for generations to come.  You lead by example and are to be emulated.

So Say We All!
