Officer Recruitment Changes

[TheBUNKSTER]

Dear Re4pers,

I am proud to say that our outfit was so successful in the past that we can fill a platoon with fellow re4pers nearly every day. Thats awesome! But to keep our high leading standard we need to recruit more leading personal and train them well. In the last days a lot of people applied for that - and I hope thats only the beginning. Expanding the officers koprs will also prevent our current officers to burn out: A burden is easier to carry, if shared.

To suppport this intend, we will implement some changes (Thx for the people who suggested these in the discussion thread):

NEW RANKS
We will add SQUAD LEADER TRAINEE and PLATOON LEADER TRAINEE ranks to our Forum and TS. You can apply for this ranks even whithout having the 200 needed SL ribbons, which will lower the entry barrier to it. The Trainees will be trained (of course), mentored and supervised by our veteran officers. After some weeks and with the right amount of ribbons and a fitting rib/h score, the current officers will decide if the TRAINEE will be promoted to the officer position applying.

RELIEF OF DUTIES
We will lower the needed rib/h score to stay in rank. The last half year has shown that its too high at the moment. Leading our Squads and Platoons is an rewarding but exhausting job and every officer needs some time for recreation. The minimum rib/h scores (http://members.re4pers.com/leadership-leaderboard) will be lowerd to 0,8 for Squad Leaders and 0,6 for Platoon Leaders on a two monthly average, monitored every month. This will be absolute limits and people need to be demoted when under these over a certain time.

ADJUSTING COMMUNICATION
We need to give our Trainees the oportunity to make experiences as well as we need to satisfy the rib/h need for the veteran officers. So Squad and Platoon leads should change more often while running a platoon. People that want to lead should feel free to ask for such a position even when occupied by some veteran. Also the time to decide for new SLs/Pls should be expanded, so that every one has the chance to put his name in the hat. Xerxates is working on a solution to implement PL time reservations to the calendar as well.

Fear the Re4pers!
