First off, I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be working with the MSOS Convention/Gigantor G2G/whatever it eventually ends up being called as a staff liaison so that the staff will be in the loop with everything that goes on with the convention. It's important for the board to know that we (staff) are involved in this effort and we do want it to work out and be fun and happy.
Second, I am posting this thread to let you know that I will be closing all the threads in this forum so that we can "start over" with the planning, information gathering, polling, etc. We want everyone to have a say, and we want everyone who wants to be/feel involved to do so.
Third, it may be a little while before more threads start popping up, but please watch out for them! We will be working on creating a board-suggested "committee" to help plan the event and will need volunteers/nominations galore!
I think this "convention" (for lack of an official term at the moment) could be a great opportunity for members here to come together, hang out, support each other, and grow as military SOs and as friends. Please don't give up on the idea. This is a bit of a retrench, but it is certainly not an end to the effort. Suggestions, complaints, ideas and concerns from the threads that have already been posted ARE being taken into account, and we ARE going to work hard to include input from all sides.
I wanted to let you know before I closed the threads here, but I'm going to go close them right now, so you only get a few minutes' notice. Feel free to add comments here, but remember that there will be more threads soon for suggestions and ideas, so hold your horses on those if you can!![]()
