We just about to need a meeting or such when sides are posted to get CO duties assigned. Some folks like Beaver have been a CO for one frame in very S3 since the earth was cooling. I personally CO'd when the 305th was a decent size and when we first started the Nomad buncha homeless folks. Hard now for the Nomads, as we're not a real squad but only a few that flew together to make orders easier - one name versus assigning 3 or 4 squad folks to a combined group. In fact we're down to 2 and will have to pick and choose who to ride with ( if they will have us).
As with Cromm, most Nomads flew only for the S3. Now we will still fly mostly S3 but cannot be a viable unit to assign to sides or assign CO duty.
So I am coordinating with our motley buncha buffers and let all know what we decide.
I really believe we have enuff dedicated S3 folks, regardless of squad, to volunteer as CO fairly early in the series planning. And one thing that has really paid big benefits in the past has been a HQ grope that meets early and agrees on the overall strategy and then for each frame's goals/assignments/etc.
For now, I vote against having janitors assign CO duty.

The last time you were assigned CO duties, I took over for you, now that we and 416 always run together, I am not missed too much
