I was thinking for a long time and I think there should be a armory guard position. I was waching a scifi show and in the show the armory is taken over, and thay lost the base because thay could not get the armory back. So if we had a 24/7 guard on the armory. I know security is is all over the base but I still think we need four guard that do nothing but wach the armory. Tell me what you think I realy do think we need this 24/7 guard on the armory if you do not want to lose the base in an attack. But it is unlikely that anyone is so stupid to attack a fedaration starbase.

Your logic is good, but fundamentally flawed. Most military bases and such have one or maybe two armories, so losing them is a major blow to any counter attack, However, on a station here, there are 3 main armories. All of which are guarded by one of six rotating squads on a 4 hour shift pattern.
In addition, Rockape and I just requsitioned 150 small arms lockers (One for each deck, 2 for decks with critical systems on it), each containing 30 Hand Phasers, also 100 Security arms lockers, with Phaser rifles, supplys and multi-spectral communicators to communicate with the CIC in the event that communications are jammed in some way.
The station is in turbulent space, and as such, Lt Rockape and myself spent a lot of time making the security of the station and tactical readiness one and the same, and we pride ourselves on being more efficient than any other station in the Galaxy.
We are well prepared, and in this instance, your advice was un-nessesary, but i shall report your initiaitive to your CO.

Mr Zecks,
Good thinking, and don't be afraid to voice your ideas. As Mr Robinson said, neither of us are perfect, and we may well miss things.
I like an officer with initiative, and who is always questioning. As I say, "always expect the unexpected"
Your a Weapons Specialist...... mmm
I have a little job I would like you to work on for me if you will. At the moment, we don't have a Chief Armourer (that I'm aware of), so in the meantime, would you take on that Role for me?
If you are happy to do that, I will leave it to you to arrange that all weapons on the station are given a routine maintenance. Currently only specialist members of the Security/Tactical departments have weapons assigned to themselves (myself being one) all other members sign our a generic weapon. As you can imagine then, cleaning and maintenance probably aren't as good as they should be.
If you can put a maintenance schedule together, and let me know how many armourers you will need, I will work on that for you.
Many thanks
Lt (JG) Rockape
