Name: Sock Monkey
RP Rank: Bacara
Suggestion: Remove faces & formations from the CC training & CC Exam
Implementation: Delete the two props that provide information on faces and formations and adjust the questions on the CC exam to reflect the removal.
The following questions will be removed from the CC exam:
If a commanding officer calls face formations " L R A R F" Where would you be facing when completed?
If a commanding officer calls for a single column formation where would you line up?
If a commanding officer calls for a firing line what would you do?
Lore: sometimes

Below is the pros and cons I believe the faces and formations provide to the community
Pros:
Enhances RP
Standardized formations/faces all players know
Cons:
Prolongs the CC trainings/exam
Makes tryouts miserably boring
While there are lots of good things faces and formations bring, nobody actually uses them other than in trainings and tryouts. Afterward it's back to running around and shooting. Not all of the formations are even useful formations, the VIP and Prisoner diamond are taught, but who the hell would actually call those, its way easier to say “hey surround and protect the vip/surround and detain the enemy”. If battalions want to be unique and start utilizing formations they could easily create the RP through formation trainings in combat situations/simulations etc. There are ways these callouts can be utilized, but it doesn’t need to be taught to new players, and will speed up the training process and get them in the game faster, hopefully increasing our player population to users who would otherwise disconnect from the long training and make it so our trainers don't have to spend as much time and can get back to their battalions.
