I appreciate the nomination, but I have no desire to serve in any elected capacity.

Although I am declining the nomination, I still intend to be active in the TDF.

I am also taking this opportunity to make the following statement and request:

The TDF has a long and storied history, but we are a small force.

In 2016, there have only been 6 (possibly 7) missions, almost always as support to larger defender forces such as TITO. These missions are:

Kittens Sanctuary, Russia, Nasicournia, The Arab League, Christmas, Heroes Rise II, Singapore(?).

Other potential missions were called off.

The last TDF Medal Ceremony was in January 2016.

This is our current condition. Do we want to do more?


I would like to request that the next Secretary of Defense try to do the following:

1. Coordinate more closely with other defender groups, and schedule more missions.

2. Actively recruit new TDF members.

3. Hold Medal Ceremonies in a timely manner.

4. Occasionally use the RMB to let Texas know about TDF efforts and successes.


Thank you.

I am declining my nomination for Secretary of Defense. While I have enjoyed serving in as the Texas SecDef for the past several trimesters, my growing responsibilities at work have made it difficult for me to complete my duties the past several months, so I only think it is fair to the TDF forces to step aside at this time and allow someone with more time to take my place.

Thank you for allowing me to serve in this position, and I look forward to continuing to serve in the TDF as I am able. :fendas

Nah, we'll just create holograms of our-self and let them fight it out. It's easier that way.

Greetings fellow Texans. This is President Woodward aka The Big W of The United States of Woodward speaking. First of all, I'd like to thank our Lt. Governor, Studly Penguins, for this nomination and everybody who seconded.

:salute2 :salute2 Secondly, I'd like to thank our incumbent SecDef, Amandil, for his outstanding leadership of the TDF. It's been a pleasure to serve under you and I look forward to continuing to serve with you whenever possible. :salute2 :salute2

Over the course of the past 22 months, I've proudly been a member of the TDF, through thick and thin, come hell or high water, gladly answering the call to defend those who need it anytime I possibly could alongside the best defenders NationStates has to offer. I've been honored to serve with these fine folks and I would consider it a great honor to lead these great troops into battle as your new Secretary of Defense.

Thank you for your time my fellow Texans.
