Inside ISA With Mezoti

Article by Aleka

Aleka:So, Mezoti, congratulations on being made director of ISA.

Mezoti: Thanks, Aleka. ;-)

Aleka: How do you feel this change has affected your role in Outpost10F?

Mezoti: I look at my actions in a much harsher light than I ever did before.

Aleka: How do you think the changes that have occurred to the outpost has changed your position and that the role of ISA?

Mezoti: The ISA is much smaller now, due to the new 'team format' that is in place. The Outpost also has a much smaller active membership than before, thus we don't need as many ISAers.

Aleka: How do you think your leadership has changed ISA and OTF as a whole?

Mezoti: Honestly, I don't think it has.

Aleka: Now, I know the story, but how about you tell us about how the "Paper Air Plane" got named?

Mezoti: Iain was talking to AJ Cardall when AJ was at my house many years ago (May 2006). At the time, Iain was making a new armory function and needed a name for it. At this moment my little brother shot a paper airplane at AJ, hence the 'Paper Air Plane'.

Aleka: The ISA slogan has been "Ready for Anything" for a long time, what's your personal ISA motto?

Mezoti: Absit invidia ;-)

Aleka: Can you give us a little background on the different team names for security? Since the merger do you think you'll be changing names?

Mezoti: When the departmental managing system is changed to a team system, there will be no individual teams in ISA. Honestly, they didn't really make sense to me back in the day - so why keep them?

Aleka: Do you find that members look up to you and your team members? What type of example do you think you set for new members?

Mezoti: I sincerely hope that people look at ISA to set an example for others. I'm not sure if that's how it really is, but that is my hope.

Aleka: Since ISA doesn't accept applications, what types of things do you look at when recruiting new members?

Mezoti: First most: a cool head in troubling situations. Everything after that is secondary to someone who can control their temper in situations where it doesn't need to be there.

Aleka: Thank you so much for agreeing to be interviewed Mezoti, I hope that this will give members a closer look into ISA.
