With a heavy heart, I resign from from my position as an Admiral of the South Pacific Special Forces, effective immediately, and request a reassignment to the rank of Ensign. I’m not sure I have the right word for what comes next for me, but I think it’s close to taking a sabbatical. I do not intend to step away permanently, nor do I intend to completely curtail my military service. That said, after two years, I just need a break from the day-to-day workload of military operations, and would like more time to spend on my personal projects and ideas both inside and outside of NationStates. To be clear, I’ll still be around; I’m happy to offer advice or suggestions if desired as our military rises to meet new challenges, so don’t be a stranger. That said, it just doesn’t feel right to hold on to my positions of command without much personal involvement from day to day.
I don’t want to get too sappy, and I’ve rambled enough, but I would be remiss not to say that it has been a great privilege to serve in several different military leadership roles roles over the past two years, and a great honor to work alongside a talented and earnest officer corps. I’m incredibly grateful to have nothing but fond memories from these past two years.
I think it’s time. If I’m being honest, it was probably time months ago, but I thought maybe I’d stick around or provide useful insight or structure or advice or … something. The reality is I don’t have the time or care to build SPSF, or even to make a useful contribution, right now. At this point, I am only taking up space, and that means it’s time for me to let others step up and put their own stamp on the organization.
At my most active, the player I most resented was the arm chair who would sit there, peddle false wisdom, and never follow through on their promises. I have become the thing I most despise, which means it’s time to pull the plug.
Here’s to the next generation, they have my full trust and support
After a somewhat long period of deliberation on my part, I have finally decided to resign as an officer of the SPSF, and a member of the organization overall. It has not been an easy choice, mainly due to the SPSF’s situation of inactivity, and I’m sure this won’t help it at all. However, my passion about defending has been slowly declining, as is shown by my lack of participation in updates. This is not the only thing bothering me, as, in my own opinion, I have also been paying too little attention to the actual duties an officer would have, other than the administrative part of them. Since I have always thought that being inactive in a position of responsibility, or at least in a titled position, is unacceptable, I won’t be here taking space.
I would like to thank everyone who contributed to my development and career as part of the SPSF. This goes to Pronoun, HS, Slab, Drew and others who kept my spirits up back then. I’m glad and wholly thankful to have served and worked with such an experienced officers corps and defender org. Although I haven’t been a reliable defender that has been constantly around, there certainly have been great times I have really enjoyed during the time I have served, since August 2022, that is. Although this resignation could seem quite sudden for many, I would like to blame my university requiring more of my time as an excuse. That being said, I will probably keep showing up in update once in a while whenever I feel like it, so defending will become more like an unusual hobby for me, instead of a career.
I guess I’ve said enough, no need to go on endlessly, as I think I’ve said everything that I had in mind. Once again, I thank the SPSF and TSP overall for giving me such a great opportunity at defending and I hope for the best.
Following my appointment to NS moderation, it would be a conflict of interest to continue as an SPSF Captain. As a result, I am resigning from that role, effective immediately.
If the Admiralty will permit, I would like to remain in the SPSF as a Cadet, as I would like to continue to be able to participate in military GP even if I am not a leader/officer within it.
Hi everyone! It’s no secret that with my last few semesters of college, I have been nowhere near as active as being an Admiral of the SPSF is required to be. I will definitely still be around, but I wanted to take this opportunity before the upcoming confirmation votes to resign my portion as an Admiral.
My time as an Admiral was really amazing, and I’m so glad I was able to contribute to the SPSF’s history in that way. Rest assured, my journey isn’t over!
