1. HAVING BEEN DIRECTOR FOR THREE YEARS, I AM RESIGNING AS DIRECTOR, REGION THREE, EFFECTIVE 1 JUNE 2006.
2. MANY THANKS TO THE VERY EFFECTIVE, HARD WORKING STAFF OF REGION THREE FOR THEIR TIRELESS EFFORT IN HELPING TO FORM, MOLD, AND MATURE REGION THREE SINCE ITS INCEPTION THREE YEARS AGO. THE REGION HAS HAD MANY INITIATIVES WHICH CAME TO FRUITION, SUCH AS THE REGION'S 3X1B, 3X1Y, 3X1E(REGION WIDE ECOM DRILLS), AND 3X1A NETS, DUE TO THE WORK OF THE STAFF AND THE FINE GROUP OF STATE DIRECTORS, AND ALL THEIR STATES MEMBERS WHO HAVE FULLY SUPPORTED REGION THREE. BRAVO ZULU TO ALL AND THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
3. REFLECTIONS, OBSERVATIONS,AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE -
A. DEVELOP THE 3X1B NET INTO A TRUE TRAFFIC NET WITH DEFINED TREPS TO AUGMENT THE MDS WHICH, AT TIMES, DOES NOT FUNCTION EFFECTIVELY, DUE TO PROPAGATION OR MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN.
B. ROTATE STAFF AND DIRECTOR POSITIONS AT ALL LEVELS OF COMMAND, PERIODICALLY. EXCEPT AREA DIRECTORS, TO PROMOTE TRAINING IN LEADERSHIP AND STAFF POSITIONS, AND TO PREVENT PERSONS BEING ENTRENCHED IN POSITIONS TOO LONG.
C. PROMOTE IMPROVED STAFF COOPERATION AT AREA OR STATE LEVEL. STAFF RESPONSES CAN BE SLOW, UNRESPONSIVE, OR OVERBEARING. MANY TIMES I HAVE FELT LIKE AN OMBUDSMAN, RESOLVING DISPUTES BETWEEN AREA, REGION, OR STATE ON APPARENT TRIVIAL MATTERS
D. FULLY CLARIFY THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS OF AREA VERSUS OPERATIONAL FUNCTIONS OF THE REGION DIRECTOR AND STAFF. THESE TEND TO BLUR AT TIMES. FOR EXAMPLE, WHY NOT IS THE REGION DIRECTOR AN ADDRESSEE ON THE REQUEST FOR ASSIGNMENT OF FREQUENCIES FOR AN ECOM EXERCISE BY A STATE. THE REGION DIRECTOR DOES NEED TO KNOW, YET THIS IS CONSIDERED AN ADMIN MESSAGE.
E. AS ASL(NNN0BCI) VA HAS STATED MANY TIMES, PROMOTE THE USE OF NEWER DIGITAL MODES. THIS HAS BEEN DONE AT THE REGION AND MOST STATES LEVEL, YET FURTHER TRAINING IS NEEDED. ALL SHOULD BE PROFICIENT IN THE USE OF MT63 AS A MINIMUM.
F. TRAINING NEEDS TO BE EMPHASIZED. NE AREA DOES PRESENT GOOD TRAINING NETS, YET THEY TEND TO OVERLAP MANY STATES TRAFFIC NETS. SUGGEST HOLDING THESE AT A SLIGHTLY LATER TIME, TO ALLOW STATES TO PARTICIPATE.
4. MANY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT DURING THESE THREE YEARS. PLEASE EXTEND THIS SAME COURTESY TO NNN0SYM VA, CURRENT AS3 ONE, WHO WILL BE APPPOINTED THE NEW REGION THREE DIRECTOR.
5. REGION THREE, LEADING THE WAY IN NAVMARCORMARS.
