Senior Comms : What we need in a commander

Hibiscus, Senior Communications Officer

Of course i am remaining neutral in the DDS Commander election however i wish to bring to the table a raft of ideas about what our next Commander should be like. The New DDS Project needs to be renewed, as AP has pledged of course, and we need a DDS with its finger on the pulse.

So let me run a few ideas up the flagpole and see which ones we feel like saluting. The New DDS Project is a home for heroes of professionalism. Therefore it would seem logical to have a commander who embodies professionalism in every pore and sinew of his being, like AP for example.

We need a commander who is totally comfortable with the modern mediascape, who is used to the irregular nature of communications and approach this with an asymetric strategy. These are not skills which are in common parlance, AP has them for example.

We need a commander who will put the DDS first and himself second. The job entails a total degree of selflessness. I got to say no one but AP matches that in my experience not that i wish to influence the election of course and i am sure you will agree that i have remained neutral.
