In the books, ships have departments, divided further into divisions, filled with specialists, technicians, and rates fulfilling specific duties to ensure the smooth operation of their ship. Perhaps you want something similar to make your roster feel more like a ship than just a bunch of names on paper, but you don’t know where to start. | In the books, ships have departments, divided further into divisions, filled with specialists, technicians, and rates fulfilling specific duties to ensure the smooth operation of their ship.

A mentor or BuShips can provide assistance by giving you sample rosters, or figuring out layouts to structure your ship from within. There are some basic requirements for those seeking rates, your contact can help you find out what they are, and to help you put qualified individuals in those divisions. They can also help you get in touch with BuPers and BuComm concurrently in order to ensure that the proper rates and onboard billets are shown properly in MEDUSA. This is a great way to help make your chapter stand out. See Chapter Organization for more details. | A mentor or BuShips can provide assistance by giving you sample rosters (available to ship COs only), or figuring out layouts to structure your ship from within.

;Flight Operations: These members can be the facilitators of carpools, tracking who is riding with who, and working with the astrogation department on getting maps to drivers. They can be the point of contact (POC) when it comes to generating a seating plan or stop schedule. Should your chapter attend an out-of-state convention, they can plan with a bus company or seek out air travel deals for members, or even charter or group rates on an airline. | ;Flight Operations: These members can be the facilitators of carpools, tracking who is riding with who, and working with the astrogation department on getting maps to drivers.

;Medical: You can have a Chief Medical Officer or Corpsman available at events to ensure that members are following the 6-2-1-1 rule: minimum 6 hours of sleep, 2 meals a day, 1 shower, 1 glass of water for every serving of alcohol. They can also be present to remind people to be mindful about food allergens, celiac (gluten-free food needed), or other dietary concerns, as well as making sure the crew drinks plenty of water at outdoor events. | ;Medical: You can have a Chief Medical Officer or Corpsman available at events to ensure that members are following the 6-2-1-1 rule: minimum 6 hours of sleep, 2 meals a day, 1 shower, 1 glass of water for every serving of alcohol.

For liability reasons, Medical personnel shall not fill a capacity as an official first responder, or be seen as such. Most conventions already have some sort of designated responder on hand. This does not mean, however, that the ship's medical personnel don't have a first aid kit, just in case. This also doesn't mean that anyone, medical personnel or not, step in in the event of someone needing aid. | ||
These are just examples of what your personnel can do, you don’t have to follow this outline.

There are certain tasks that only the CO/XO can perform, such as the chapter reports. Only the CO and XO are granted those tools in MEDUSA. The Bosun has limited capability in MEDUSA, but can assist with tracking promotions, planning and promoting events, and generally encourage participation. There are also limitations on who can send requests to BuShips on behalf of the ship. Details are outlined in [[BuShips Directive 1807-01]], Form Acceptance Policy. | There are certain tasks that only the CO/XO can perform, such as the chapter reports.
