BenRG:
There isn't a 'ritual' that I've ever seen in any documentaries, beyond formal greeting and dismissal.
There is generally a procedure, where key and important information is handed over first (who is on duty and what assets they have on standby like vehicles). If they are actually on a ship or long-range aircraft of some kind, typically the first bit exchanged during watch officer handovers is the current course and speed. After that, it's just basically a quick, abbreviated report of anything that is going on at the moment and then a handover of the book in which everything is being recorded.
Morituri:
Okay .... Thanks. I guess in that case the exact procedure is going to be determined by the local commander and, with due formalities, there is a wide range of 'acceptable.'
I didn't want to write something that would immediately have every military person in the world facepalming.
Rolard:
Zebediah I had to sign up for a forum account just to say thanks for the story. I found it a fascinating take on post apocalypse and the QC spin was awesome!
LeeC:
I have 2 month-ish to write a cosmic horror short-story. I have to submit a paragraph summary and a 500 word extract. I just wrote out a rough synopsis of my story. I feel scared/intimidated/anxious. Is this normal for anyone else?
BenRG:
Yes and it has little to do with the creative process and a lot more to do with the fact that we're all nervous when we need to submit work for review by an authority.
