-1 That's all really to it. Ps. this may get voided and I have nothing personally against you. 1. This talk about discipline, order and leadership just needs to stop. It’s just an alright lie your literally at each other's throats to begin with in ts channels to begin with then you lot have literally made separate private discord chats to shit talk the living shit out of each other and talk about individuals privately (not even in Command or Ts channels) but to hide it from others. Its generally fucking pathetic and a pain to fucking deal with. I’m not going to call out names but you who know you lot are, ^ (It seems that people would rather bring up issues and shit talk others privately than growing a pair and bring up this issues in meetings etc it's a sad sight to see) 2. This talk about Drage being a good leader? I have nothing really personal against you drage your one of the Commanders that actually seems to do work for your rank and isn’t complete inactive and does fuck all. However I will say your leadership in events etc is decent however your incredibly stubborn even when you have been called out for a massive mistake you did in public announcements in our discord I had to literally blankly call you out and had to literally get you in a teamspeak channel with myself you and abraham to explain to you why you fucked up and how that behaviour just isn’t suitable especially as a XO and god forbid a BCMD its the words I used were that it was immature and quite unprofessional. Yes however this was in the past it wasn’t ever a good look and yes you’ve stated you “I fix my mistakes and will own up to them” unfortunately you never saw the issue with what you did even when myself and countless others told you why it was unacceptable, I’m glad you did apologize to those involved however you not backing down and stating that you did the right thing wasn’t a good look for you. In Addition in most circumstances Drage has only dealt with issues when he was forced to do so either by himself or other officers. I'm saying this as a blanket statement that the Officers and Commanders would rather postpone dealing with this issue than dealing with it and putting it on the back burner and let issues fester and not grabbing the initiative to actually deal with issues immediately instead waiting for others to deal with it. Or that the issues didn’t matter to them and they didn’t have the time for them. 3. Stating the obvious that the application is quite barebones and you never clearly said what you intend to do and improve the battalion in any sort of way you just gave out blanket statements. ^ I’d say this is enough stated before ppl get bored reading. Drage if you think you can sway or give me reason why I should change it to a +1 please do so.

As a current student in the arts of sociology, I can see that those beneath you conform to you as some sort of "beacon of light", or the type of dude who chants "All stars burn as one!". The type of dude who puts the Grand Army of the Republic and the Galactic Republic's interests above all. A man bred for the pure embodiment of war. A warrior, a lover, a fighter. You value your men but you aren't afraid to send them to their deaths if the mission deems it. Prioritising the ideology and not the simplicity of the galaxy. You probably run into the battlefield, leading by example. Using your Katarn-class armour to sponge all the ordinance that gets thrown at you, Using the helmet as a masquerade to inspire the troops you lead. You probably get all the bitches, all the attention. You walk into 79's and people instantly go quiet, awestruck at your presence! Turning their stomachs into knots. Sorry? What was I talking about? +1 anyway, seems like a cool dude.

You are doing what now? Very nicely summarized and well put together app. As long as you do the Yoda voice its a Huge +1 from me.

-1 So, This is nothing against you in any way. But I genuinely do not think you would be a good fit for rex. Most of the shit you've been saying that will happen has never happened. For example, TC RP. No RP in TC ever happens unless a select few people are on at the same time. With Jedi, You've said multiple times that we we're going to "make subunits more appealing" which never happened. I was the only one who pushed for trials to actually be hosted, and asked if anyone was interested in a subunit. Also the public callout thing is another reason why I'm putting a -1.

He only apologized after I went to Abraham personally, before that he saw nothing wrong with what he did, I don’t expect you to know that but now you do, he only did the “right” thing because he was told to. Im saying this here so other people can see it if you wish to talk further about it BroseidonKingOfTheBrocean#2066 Discord Or Aaron in 501st discord server

3/4/3

3/3/4

I think there has been a lot of valid points made throughout the application I agree with, I didn't know anything about the callout so I asked around, and it adds to it. Can't see you being a succesful BCMD, in my opinion. I could be wrong, but it's gonna be a -1 from me. Good luck either way, Drage.

+1 Really nice guy keep up the work

I think things have been a bit heated here for little reason and I would implore all to recognize this and take a step back for a moment. I can see both sides of the argument here though. The two main complaints I notice are: Public callout Lack of leadership in battalion For the public callout, I was a firsthand witness of both the situation that led to it and the message/fallout that came from it. I believe the whole scenario was over-reacted to by everyone involved, not just Drage. It was not the right thing to do to call people out in such a way, but in the time since then, Drage has apologized and has been forgiven by those called out, as we see here. I think the lesson has been learned and it won’t be an issue again. Regarding lack of leadership in the battalion, as a MAJ I have seen some issues with the battalion, just like with any other. I do think some of these issues could have been fixed when Drage was XO, however at the time there was a BCMD above him, so he didn’t exactly have free reign. Perhaps also not all of these issues were addressed to Drage properly, I for one did not do so. Any time there has been major issues with discipline and Drage has been made aware, he has worked swiftly to address them in a serious manner, to the point where people recognize him as one of the Commander+ in 501st that cares about discipline most. I think now might be a great time for those of you who notice such things and have mentioned them here to bring them up to him with names and with proper evidence so he can do something about it. Whether that be as XO or BCMD does not matter, but I know he is fully capable of the BCMD position if people work with him.

I hope you're joking. 501st has a very little amount of leadership and it's not the best right now, I rarely see all of the Commanders actively playing and running around, talking to people, trying to start any form of RP, Some of the Commanders get on once a week and AFK for the entire day, some Commanders take up the spot and go MIA for months and never get on, and the fact that you say that nobody in 501st goes against the CoC is laughable, You don't understand that amount of times I have seen people go straight to the BCMD/XO about problems that a WO or 2ndLT can figure out. So there is your explanation. Now on to the application, every that you have said on this app has been said by every single Rex to ever grace this server, and guess what, Aaron did more work in his 3 Days as WO then they have at all. All of your plans for where you want to see the battalion at the end of your term you could've already done as XO, so I don't really understand as to why you have to apply for BCMD to make these changes when you have been a XO for I don't even know how long and you have done none of these changes. And the fact that you called out 2 or 3 members of your battalion and downright refused to remove it until Abraham did is a travesty, you should know you're in the wrong for posting basically a public callout in announcements, and the fact that people in the discord were literally calling you out telling you to remove the post it stayed there. And when I was in 501st for about 2-3 weeks, the amount of 332nd I saw on at a time was literally none, nobody was on, so the fact that you can say that 332nd is running smoothly with a straight face isn't good. I would love to know some of the "Roleplay with TC" that has been going on around the server. And I swear to god if you reply with "Our signing in binds are a big factor in our roleplay" I'm going to put my head through my Monitor because that is some of the stupidest shit I have ever seen. I would also like to see some of this "Amazing Work in Leading TC" because during my time in TC and as Fives, All he did was drag us into an unnecessary meeting which could have easily just been a discord message and not mess with peoples life. This is a very strong -1 from me dog. However I have seen people with pages and pages of -1s and them still get to the Interview and end up getting the spot so who knows, our words might mean jack shit in the end.

This is something I saw and was completely baffled by. This makes it very hard for me to trust you as Rex. This also alarms me. Your response to Slak was extremely lacking. Your plans are all 1 sentence wrong and I believe your Leadership in TC has been sub-par. I don't see any TC roleplay at all. People are just the characters to be on the job, but they don't roleplay those jobs at all. Gonna be a -1 from me, but if you do end up getting Rex, I hope you can prove me wrong and do a great job

Aren’t you the guy that publicly made an announcement calling out 2 of your battalion members and refused to remove it until Abraham got involved? You refused to admit it was the complete wrong thing to do and believed you were in the right, not fit to be a leader. update: it was 3 people not 2 -1

Steam Name: Bitter RP Name: Boss RP Rank: XO Steam ID: STEAM_ 0:0:43580258 Battalion you are applying for: SOBDE Experience: 21st - PVT to MSG I joined the server and fell in love with the marine style of RP. At that time I was under Matra, Qal and Gene. They really showed me the value of hard work towards a battalion. They also started to teach me the basics of GMOD and leadership. 501st - SGM to Captain After my stint in the 21st I felt like I wanted to go into a more "lore" intensive position and I went to the 501st as I loved all of the characters in the battalion. This was also the first time I had broken through to the officer ranks and got to watch over the regiments. At the time as I was helping the REGL with his things like, manage the individual branches, and revive ones that were starting to die. Going from CSM to 2ndLT was a big jump for me but I was excited for the challenge and wanted to prove my worth to the battalion by helping and advising in any way I could. 21st - PVT to WO and ARCL I took a 2 year hiatus after 501st as my life had changed around that time and I wanted to focus more on myself and my own happiness at the time. However, after 2 years I had heard of all of the changes that had happened on Synergy and I wanted to come back to reconnect with some old friends. I got into the 21st battalion and started to work on whatever I could get my hands on. There were problems at the time with the ARC program in 21st and I wanted to improve it and make it more well rounded. Spec RCMD I'll be frank here. Most of you will probably know me from my Spec RCMD term as I went from a rando 21st WO to the advisor of four battalions, which were 21st, CG, DU and SOBDE. I stepped into this position with what I thought was a good understanding of what I should do in High Command, but looking back I don't believe I understood what the position truly entailed. I wanted to help my home battalion of 21st and the rest of Spec in anyway I could. Unfortunately I found myself overstepping in areas that I shouldn't have along with making some bad decisions in my term. What this taught me a how to be a good advisor, when I should step in, and how I should go about it. Even though I did not exceed in this position, it showed me many things I needed to improve and how I could go about doing that. If I never had the shot as the Spec RCMD then I would not have improved on my leadership and management skills as much or thoroughly. SOBDE - PVT to CSM During my Spec RCMD term I really started to admire the comradery and teamwork that SOBDE all shared between themselves. After my RCMD I moved over to SOBDE and loved the way in which they operated; focusing more on the people and the RP in which they took part in. It took me a while and multiple tries at getting a lore character in SOBDE and I have made many friends inside of the battalion. Delta Squad Boss and XO Getting the position of Boss and the rank of Commander gave me a unique overview into the day to day of the battalion. I started to get even more involved as I now had a group of people that I have had the privilege of learning from, teaching, working with, and seeing where they wanted to take their RP to get it to the next level. I have also helped SOBDE create a new style of tryout that helps pull more focus onto the roleplay aspect of the game. This has helped to improve multiple different areas of the battalion along with the contributions of the officer core and all of the people in SOBDE. Why should you become a Battalion Commander?: Dedication I have found such valuable relationships while being a part of this community and would love to continue that and make it possible for others to do so too. The friends that I have found here are ones that I love spending all day with and exploring our characters to flesh out as much relevant RP as possible. I have become dedicated to this server and all that goes on here. I have a dedication to improving an already great experience. If I can contribute one thing to this position it is my dedication to make this battalion the best that it can be. Ability to learn and adapt. I could have left the server after my shameful time as Spec RCMD. However, I found it better to use the experience to my advantage and learn from it. I am human after all and we tend to make mistakes all the time. If we do not learn and adapt from them then they were not worthwhile experiences. I have taken the time to evaluate my mistakes and gain knowledge from them to grow to become a better leader and member of this community. Communication In my time hopping through different battalions and communities I have found that communication is key. From just the day to day operations, to holding things like tryouts and meetings, having great communication is mandatory to ensure that everyone is on the same page, or that there is a way that we can get there. I have a direct communication style which helps me in times when I just need to get something across right away. If I need to communicate something to you, you can know that I will. Without communication nothing works. Do you understand the lore of your battalion?: Very well yes. Availability: Most weekdays I'll be around from about 8 am to 9:45 am PST before I go to work and after work around 8 to 9 pm PST On my weekends which are Sundays and Mondays I am available all day. I'm always near my phone, so feel free to DM me whenever. Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?: Somewhere in the ballpark of 1500 to 2000? Do you have a microphone?: Yes Where do you want your battalion to be at the end of your term?: ROLEPLAY At the end of my term I would like to see that I have created enough of a system to experience true Commando Role Play. I want people to come into the battalion and be mentored and tutored in roleplay and to be able to hone their abilities and take what they have learned and apply it to any other battalion and be able to continue to facilitate the roleplay fantastically. OUTREACH I would like to create a genuine outreach program that creates more comradery. SOBDE has been secretive in the past which has caused a riff in the server with people feeling unwelcome in interacting with this battalion. I would like to open up the communication about this battalion so that people feel allowed to join us and all that we do here at SOBDE. This is a system I would like to continue to improve on with my officer core and the rest of the battalion, until we can truly craft a fantastic system. Training for Grey RC Recently a new system has been created in which Grey RC members must prove their worth by showing acts of valor on the battlefield. This system creates an incredible opportunity for Roleplay as these members will come in undesignated and can craft their own characters around what they would like to roleplay. I value this type of training and would love to see it grow. By the end of my term I would like to see that this training has become self sufficient and allows other members of the battalion to mentor new Grey RC members into the characters they have always wanted to be. Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?: Yes Do you understand that your position has a three month term limit and you must reapply after three months to maintain your commander rank?: Yes

I DON'T FUCK DOGS! How many times do I have to say this? I Would Never, EVER fuck a dog. I mean, I'm 15. And not to be picky but if I wanted to lose my virginity, It would not be to a dog. It would definitely be a human or something I mean, Even implying that I would even lower my standards down to a dog, is just despicable. I mean, If a dog came up to me and asked to fuck, Its not like I would Immediately say "No" I mean... I mean... I mean... No, I don't like to fuck dogs, But I don't admit to my sexual relations with dogs. There isn't much more to say /shrug Also, if @Mavelle see's this, please give me your dogs snapchat please and thank you.

3/3/3 If you have a last minute deployment you can always delay a little longer. WAY too many hands in the pot pertaining to different clones here on such a small map. Performance was pretty... eh...

What might’ve happened a year ago is something to look at but only briefly. People have quite the capacity to grow and undergo change as they make mistakes and learn from them, sometimes harshly. All of what you proposed in your app are things I have found to be disgruntled with my entire time I have been a player on this server and had a Jedi. Consular has been the rp branch of the order for the entire time I have been here. There is no reason the other branches cannot excel in rp other then because of the stigma that if your a Jedi and not a consular, you don’t need / get to rp. +1

+1 +1 +1 +1 get staff toaster

This is from what I remember is completely true, however, I had resigned from 501st already during this whole build-a-tryout thing so I cannot back that accusation seeing as though I was not present. However, this was over a year ago, And I have known Snad for a very very long time, he definitely has had some bad ideas like what you mentioned in your post, however the Good definitely outweighs the bad ideas that Snad has had. Now, the application. I for sure have no say when it comes to Jedi seeing as I haven't played on my Jedi properly since I was a Shadow Manager under Skylur, but after reading where you want to see the Jedi at the end of time as Yoda, I certainly enjoy all of the thoughts and ideas and I think that this will better the Jedi Order in the long run. So I will be going to +1 this application. However, do not gloss over what Rizzo has said because he is making some very valid points. Good Luck with the Interview.

3/4/5 I thought it was fun and I love the push towards object thought the map was a little big and left maybe too much room in between but I had fun

I hate this guy

You fuck dogs

You did horrible as Anakin, and really threw a wrench in TC when I was leading it. And set the 501st back even more than it was. You have no care for people you lead with and bulldoze over things set in place. What happened: Me and @Bleachhad just finished revamping Torrent Company tryouts. I was really proud of what we had accomplished. You got Anakin and all seemed well until you started making up your own rules for TC. Then you went and held your own tryouts not even using the tryouts me and Bleach spent hours working on. 3 troopers that had just spent 3 hours on a bullshit tryout you made up on the spot that I had to deal with. It was extremely embarrassing and a total punch in the gut of all the work that was put in to the tryouts. This was also at a time where 501st leadership was at an all time low and we looked to you for some guidance for Jedi. Of course you mentioned none of this. Not even a single mention of TC. He quit Anakin because of this. Which fucked over the 501st even more. You didn’t even attempt to fix it, you just ran. -1

+1 verry cool11!!

+1 100%

@Rohan Okay so here are my answers Jedi: I'm currently thinking of more ways to involve 501st jedi so that they can enjoy their time with the battalion, As i will say at first jedi was something i left to the jedi leads, I have nothing concrete yet for this and im still working on it. Already working on steps just got to talk and work with the jedi lead. Senior officers: The meetings are more for me on the grounds of I like knowing whats going on or if anyone is struggling since the officers are on alot more during the day then i can be do to work. Long term I hoping that it helps with us keeping a schedule and organizing. Junior officers: making sure to remind them about the NCO meetings and making NCOs aware of the meeting. Making a Check list of things to keep track of was going to be my main idea. SNCOs-NCOs: well since i had my app ready to go a lot of the issues have been or are being dealt with. Getting them to take lead during trainings or events has improved already. 332nd: I will be working with Vaughn like i always did to assist in 332nd tryouts and trainings. Torrent company: I have worked on getting TC Filled in my first month as APPO . I worked on getting docs made or have been working on the current ones to give more info on their characters Spanding over my time as APPO. Ive had issues that i saw to and ive hosting TC meetings granted im terrible at them, but i try to get my point a crossed as simply as possible. There was no lack of trying on my part. IN the past Three months i have been getting them to interact and RP in small moments which is a good start. Regiments: Honestly finding a way is the issue since our REGL has been working none stop on the docs and doing a great job. The Issues of the commanders not being on or going AFK for the rest of the day isnt just a 501st issue. We have already talked to them about their time and they get on more frequently and stay as long as they can, their also active since you where last with us. Like other I work and others have school or night jobs or was dealing a medical issues. I would get on with Abraham because i finished my work around the same time he did. We are a little unorganized ,its not my strong suit personally, but we have been working on it, high command mostly talks to each other frequently over discord with high command channel or DM to one another. ALSO yes it took two weeks for the Goals to be made but our Sarge at the time or Wolf made it up for the legion, and did a good job on it. How am I going to make it efficient by talking it out and working with my current commanders and future ones, everything is a process and getting people period to fill these roles, but we've got some good Senior officers working their way up and they have shown dedication and heart for their roles thus far and I have high hopes. I hope i answered all your questions, if i missed one or some i would like it to be know so i can address it, I tend to over read things or misinterpret them.

+1 Really warm welcome from this guy when I first got into Gray RC, he's top tier. Would love to see you as our BCMD, my man.

Yes +1

+1 Love this guy, he'd make a great Gregor

Reading through the application, the replies under here, and from the time I wasi n 501st this time around I have some concerns. So I just want to ask you some stuff before moving to a -1 or +1. In your "plans" for the battalion you seem to just be stating what the battalion is in now or giving what you want, but how are you gonna achieve those? How are you gonna make it more appealing? What steps are you gonna take? What can be worked on further in the alright Jedi branch? I may be wrong here, but from the time in 501st for me it looked like there was absolutely no noticeable difference between a junior and senior officer before. What effect will having the meetings more often have in the long-term? If I remember currently it was a bi-weekly NCO/Officer meeting kind of deal now, even though the NCO meetings were barely hosted. How? What are you gonna do to enforce it for the long-term? Improvement in what areas and how are you going to make sure that the individuals start taking the initiative? The last part of that I am pretty sure is standard for every battalion, so what new does it bring of value currently? For TC, you have been Appo since November 30th, 2021. How come you haven't done the goal set here for about 6 months? It seems like a lot of time wasted, laziness, or maybe you not taking the initiative you should've taken for it. So why is it that in those 6 months, which is quite a long time, it hasn't been done for a sub-unit? What improvements do you think could make it better? And further for something I experienced in the battalion this time around: Battalion High Command. From what I could tell the only time I saw them was when Rex got on, and as soon as he went off, they did too. Commanders getting on 1 time a week for 10 minutes or just being AFK, a Commander taking an LOA and being over the time for a week or two which with a standard officer/trooper would probably lead to some sort of discipline. High Command accepting a suggestio nas simple as battalion weekly goals which took ~2 weeks to roll out while the suggestion had everything in it. It kind of showed me that either it was extremely unorganized or people in the wrong places. I am wondering now, how are you going to make it so High Command is as efficient as possible and the spots are filled by people who genuinely want to get on and do things for the battalion? When you answer these things, which I am personally questioning, I'll put a +1 or -1

+1 Yeah, checks out. But genuinely, Bitter is the best man for the job, you have great experience with leading, competent, and active. Goodluck.

+1 Yeah you have a nice Work Ethic, Understanding and great general outlook for the Battalion which I can get behind as a current Commander.

+1, good luck Bitter

+1 yesyesyesyesyesyesyes GO BITTER!! such a good boss, leader, and friend

+1 i am a FAN

Bigg +1 Bitter is the man with the plan, he is more fit then anyone for this tbh. Good luck in interview brotha ik u gon kill dat shit💪🏽

Bitter is a fantastic person both in and out of game. He is friendly, charismatic, and also extremely hard working. His ideas are well-thought out and fleshed out, and I believe he can make SOBDE amazing. Best of Luck! +1

+1 I'M A BIG FAN OF RC 1138 BOSS!!!!

Bitter is incredibly capable. He's shown so much dedication and passion to his battalion since day one of him becoming CMD. Your plans are very strong, and you've got an incredibly good command and officer corps to back these plans up. You've been in the battalion more than long enough to know what works and what won't, and I'm more than confident that you could implement plans well, as well as realize when to back out if needed. Good luck! I hope that you enjoy the position, or at least get SOBDE to the state that you want. Huge +1.

+1 bitter is awesome!

Yes, Yes he did.

@Dirty since most troopers dont like merits, might be best to remove or replace it. So its something I will think on.

As one of the people called out in the announcement, it was a step in the wrong direction by all means. Sure, it was a complete callout, but Drage did realize that it was and apologized to those who were mentioned in it. After being in the battalion with Drage, defining him by this incident is wrong. He's improved since then and is pretty damn fit to be a leader.

+1 seems cool based off the little interactions I had with him

Hey heres a quick one liner; They call me sha'a-gi but I did NOT shag scoob
