| 2023.02.15 USS Mountaineer Away Mission Report Date of Submission: 2023.02.15 Date of Event: 2023.02.11 Type of Event: Recruiting Section: XO Dual-con two gaming conventions in one, first half is all old school board and card games, second half is electronic, online, video games. Currently it is the day before, tonight we are doing the setup for event. I think our table will look nice. Tonight, we start setup at 6 PM. Then the Con starts at 9:30 am on Saturday morning and is scheduled to run until 11:30 PM. I know we are not going to stay that long. But we will certainly put our time in. Attending will be CO-Fleet Captain Mary Francen, XO-Commander Stephen Richard, sadly our CMO Fleet Captain David Singleton was not able to attend because of being a security guard doing a 12 hour shift
tomorrow. Ok, now that Dual Con is over with we can officially report on it. Things were good, it was a nice first event for us. While we didn’t have any full signups on the spot we did make some contacts who are interested
in joining, We did learn things that will work and what types of questions that people will ask. We still need to get some more things like the SFI flag, and a ship banner, and other flags. Our CO Fleet Captain Mary Francen, participated in a round table event for local fan clubs. It was a good event and they asked a great deal of very good questions on the various topics. We will certainly plan on going back to it. Other things that were there was light saber dueling, and SCA demonstrated their sword play techniques. We had several cosplayers walking around even cupid in a tutu and no shirt or shoes, the guy doing it was very brave to say the least. We spent from 9:30 AM till almost 4 PM there, we did leave some flyers and business cards just in case someone stopped by at the spot. All and all I would say we had a great time.

| 2022.12.22 USS Mountaineer Away Mission Report Date of Submission: 2022.12.22 Date of Event: 2022.12.22 Type of Event: Charity Section: Ship’s Counselor I, Lt. Jg. Jonathan Nelson, who attended the event of delivering Christmas presents to a local family, do hereby submit this following as my away mission report, I understand that such reports will be listed as part of the ships mission reports. Report: I met with Fleet Captain Francen and Commander Richard this morning to receive the gifts and food that were purchased by the crew for a local family in need. After loading the gifts, I contacted the family and let them know that I needed to meet with them and that I had some gifts to give them. When I got the church that I pastor, I unloaded the delivery and laid it out on a table for when the family would arrive. When the mother (shown in the photo) arrived, I informed her that she and her daughter had been chosen by the crew of USS Mountaineer to receive Christmas breakfast, dinner, and some presents. She informed that her daughter was only going to receive a couple of gifts because money was so tight. In her words, “This is a Christmas miracle. I am so grateful to this group for caring about me and my daughter and helping make sure that my daughter has a Christmas this year.” After I helped her load everything into her car, she wanted to make sure that I let the crew know how thankful she is and to “Live long and prosper”!   |
