Millner, I was appointed on SD: 202207.16 as the new <strong>Regional Department Chief (RDC) of Engineering for Region One<\/strong> just prior to the 2021\/2022 Region One Summit. I am also honored to be the Chief Engineer* on the <strong>USS Heimdal NCC-1793<\/strong> under the command of Adm. Linda Smith &amp; XO Adm Willy Smith. I began my STARFLEET engagement in 1984** .\u00a0 I stepped away for several years in the late 90\u2019s, moved around the U.S.A. in the 2010\u2019s, but my wife and I have always been connected to the USS Heimdal and her amazing leadership and crew.<br \/>\nI have always supported Engineering in our chapter however this is my first assignment in directly supporting a Region One program. As I came on board with R1, having the solid backing, encouragement and support of then RDC Programs Director Lt Gen Robert Jackson, an enthusiastic VRC, and the approval and backing of then RC Brigadier Phillip Cox I cautiously accepted this challenge in late summer 2022. I began the process of\u00a0 working with my fellow Chief Engineers striving to make contact via getting comms up and running thru-out the Region between the Engineering departments. I have also had the joy of working with and supporting the ( recently established ) SFI STARFLEET Corps of Engineers.<br \/>\nSadly the former RDC Engineering Jason Schreck (an amazing leader, a wealth of information, and rock in the Star Trek and Star Wars fandom community) passed away in September 2021. So after nearly a year, the lights were turned on again, shelfs were dusted and we began where the program had lost focus and the process to rebuild on the strength and path Jason had established through many years of faithful service.\u00a0 He and the many RDC\u2019s that came before have held the banner high for this group.<br \/>\nThe\u00a0initial phase\u00a0of this program relaunch was to reconnect with the Chief Engineers of Region One, to provide information exchange, reporting guidance, and association. We have established coordinates for a monthly video conference and gathering for the Chief Engineers, Assistant Chief Engineers, and or vessel representatives standing in if none currently exist.\u00a0 A sort of <strong>\u201cRaktajino &amp; Scones with the RDC of Engineering\u201d<\/strong>.\u00a0 This monthly Zoom affords the team to get to know one another, pose questions, and discuss our course as a department <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/r1.sfi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/R1EngLogoSFInew-300x298.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"168\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SD: 202601.03 Updated R1 RDC Engineering Logo<strong>FCAPT Darrell Millner<\/strong><br \/>\nRDC of Engineering Region One<br \/>\nUSS Heimdal NCC-1793<br \/>\nChief Engineering Officer<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:r1engineering@r1.sfi.org\">r1engineering@r1.sfi.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regional Operations Fleet Captain Darrell Millner R1 RDC Engineering USS Heimdal NCC-1793 EMAIL Welcome to the R1 (RDC) Regional Department Chief\u2019s Engineering Program\u00a0 As Engineers I realize your time is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3649429265891518,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"h5ap_radio_sources":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1294","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/r1.sfi.org\/2025-homepage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/r1.sfi.org\/2025-homepage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/r1.sfi.org\/2025-homepage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r1.sfi.org\/2025-homepage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3649429265891518"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r1.sfi.org\/2025-homepage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1294"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/r1.sfi.org\/2025-homepage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7157,"href":"https:\/\/r1.sfi.org\/2025-homepage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1294\/revisions\/7157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/r1.sfi.org\/2025-homepage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
