App and story are good if maybe a little boilerplate, but nothing too terrible. But all of your answers make sense, and even if I didn't agree with them I can see the merit in them. I like your idea of the CO-XO relationship. A personal recommendation I would give is taking a cue from BSG, and asking the XO whose turn it is to give Briefing. It's a nice relationship starter and lets the XO take a more leading role (when they don't tell you it's your turn, that is). As for challenging the meta, also good. Sometimes it's nice to fall back on the meta, but hey. Sometimes you have to roll the hard six.
In all seriousness, you're a solid player, a solid staff member, and I think you're more-than-capable of handling the WL with relative ease at this point. Just keep the Adama-isms to a minimum. And if you are ever able to bring those BSG uniforms to CM... I wouldn't mind a bit. +1
