out of game: Shogun and him are taking turns being the XO.

 

[razordude]

out of game: okay and also what does OOC stand for?

 

[fedr808]

Why do they call it "XO" we aren't infantryman. There is the captain, the first officer, chief mate (sometimes first officer and chief mate are one and the same), second mate, third mate, cadet.

Out of Game: XO = Executive Officer.

 

[Shogun]

"This is Lieutenant Shin Taira, prep your hangers, we will like to board immediately," Shin said, putting away his datapad.

 

[Shogun]

well, I'm chief mate, that's the closest thing to a second in command until he picks one.

Out of Game: I think I am, as the Tactical/Strategic Forecaster, Tactician and Strategist. In addition to Chief Staff Officer.

 

[fedr808]

Out of Game: XO = Executive Officer.

Only in an army. Specifically a battalion or a division. Onboard a ship it's the chief officer or first mate (first mate being me).

Of course I am assuming you mean the second in command. The first in command is the captain.

In game:

"Go to the port docking bay, I cant get the fucking door on the other to open." kato replied

Some sparks flew from the console on the opposite end of the bridge. "Somebody fix that" I yelled

I got under my console and pulled off the underside and started prying out burnt out crystals. I burned my hand on an open electrical line. "Fuck!" I switched off the power. I got the replacements and put them in. The panel lit up, "thank G-d" I said.

Umm no, on carriers I think they use XO.

Umm no, on carriers I think they use XO.

In the United States Army and Marine Corps, for example, there are XO billets in each company, battalion, and brigade, though not at higher levels of command. The XO billet is not a command; rather it is considered staff. The XO is typically responsible for the management of day-to-day activities, such as maintenance and logistics, freeing the unit commander to concentrate on tactical planning and execution. The XO also takes charge in the absence of the CO. While the experience gained as an XO is highly beneficial for an officer's professional development, never serving in the position will not preclude an officer from commanding later. In the United States Navy and Coast Guard, XOs are normally assigned to all ships and shore units, and have a similar role to their counterparts in the Army and Marine Corps. On board Coast Guard cutters that are commanded by either a junior officer or a senior enlisted member, Executive Petty Officers (XPOs) are usually assigned to serve as second-in-command.

Theyre not what you think, theyre not necessarily second in commands.

 

[Shogun]

Shin and his squad docked into the port docking bay in one swift and smooth motion. Shin then opened the cockpit then jumped out, flipping once before landing. He then ordered his squad,

"Look after the MS, take a look at the OS and settings, and modify them as you see fit,"

"Aye sir,"

Shin then walked out the hanger, took the turbolift and headed for his quarters. He changed back into his ESSCPA uniform and headed to the ops room. Upon entering, a guard snapped to attention and barked,

"Sir!"

He returned the salute and sat back into his chair. He brought up his keyboard and screen.

Out of Game: So.....are we still fighting the battlecruisers or have we escaped?

 

[Shogun]

Theyre not what you think, theyre not necessarily second in commands.

Out of Game: Yeah, I know they are not line officers in the chain of command. Well my character is a staff officer as well. They have XOs on carriers.

I made up my character's position
