My experience within 212th has made me who I am today. With 6 months in this battalion and only this battalion, the ranks and positions I’ve held have given me adequate perspective to assist the inner workings of the battalion. I’ve served under 2 BCMD’s with two very different styles of leading and I believe I can take the best of both and combine. Both Baddog and Quassont have been fantastic role models and have both supported me to become a CMD currently in the batt.
Notable Achievements:
212th SUPO
212th ARCL
212th GCO
212th GCXO
212th CMD
Why should you become a Battalion Commander?: One word; dedication. My commitment and drive to the 212th and to see it succeed is unmatched in any other potential candidate. Since joining Synergy, this has been my home and I couldn’t stand to see it struggle. The 212th has always been a strong battalion on the server, and I aim to lead it into a new era of engagement with other battalions and a much higher level of standards. Previous leaders like Baddog and Quassont have inspired me to strive for greatness in myself and my battalion, and I believe in my ability to make it happen. My experience with our subunits, regiments, and day to day experience makes me the perfect candidate for this position, as well as my ability to effectively communicate with others in and out of 212th. As a Commander within 212th, I have specifically focused on interactions with other battalions by improving our Officer Corp and our RP during events and deployments.
Availability: I work 9-6 EST Mon-Thurs and 9-1 EST Friday. Anytime outside of that I am available. I’ve even left work on lunch breaks to help deal with issues on the server, change something internally, or set up tryouts for members of Ghost Company. I can always be reached on Discord.
Estimate of How Long You’ve Played on the Server?: 10/23/22 with 3419:16:17 hours.
Do you have a Microphone?: Yes
Where do you want the battalion to be at the end of your term?: This is where the fun begins. After speaking with members of the 212th Officer Corp, some members of High Command, and other BCMD and CMD’s of other battalions, I’ve developed a few different ideas and plans that I want to work towards based on my own experience and collective feedback.
Enlisted: This is straight up infantry and will always be the foundation of what 212th is built on. I don’t think our enlisted troopers get enough love, and I believe good leadership and more serious RP during events and deployments can cover that. I want to push enlisted troopers to expand their horizons with different training (Tech, EOD, Negotiations) while also keeping opportunities open in regards to subunits. Our regiments are doing fairly well at the moment with a good mix and spread of involvement between ARF, Heavy, ARC, SUP, and especially Medics and I want to keep that going.
2ndAC: While never being a 2ndAC member, I’ve been privy to multiple experiences with their leadership and troopers. While in 212th, I helped with tryouts and training, creating a new dupe for SIMs or practice. As a bystander, I believe 2ndAC needs to create a new standard for day to day operations. This can be done with private training, and hyper focusing on boarding and utilizing their jetpacks. I’m prepared to assist 2ndAC as they solidify their positions after a recent Barlex addition. Fars has been incredibly active and has shown professionalism in the past and will go forward. By the end of my term, I want this unit to be active and full with an increased standard of recruits and RP due to experience and new training courses.
Ghost Company: My baby. GC is in a stable position at the moment, and the GCC will still be in Command if I achieve BCMD, however GCXO will be open. Boil is also open at the moment, with tryouts for that starting this upcoming week. We currently have 3 GCO’s that could fill the role of GCXO and 2 that could go for Boil. All of these guys have done great work with keeping high standards and recruitment while also creating good RP. I’ve taken the liberty of hosting private GC trainings at the end of March, giving us a chance to work together as an elite unit. At the end of my term, I want GC to be full and holding the activity we are today. 4-5 of us are on daily with natural leaders all within our ranks.
Regiments: SUP and ARC are in need of help. As of Wednesday 4/12/23, we have a new SUPL Valox who I’m confident will help breathe life into the dying lungs of this regiment. With help from our current Oddball and our Regimental leadership that are also SUP, I’m confident it’ll be healthier than ever within a few weeks. ARC is struggling at the moment due to a lack of interest. Our current ARC troopers aren’t as active as I’d like them to be, however with shifts in positions as of this past weekend, ARC is on the rise. I know one of our guys will go for GC ARC if I obtain BCMD, and I’m ready to appoint a new ARCL in that same situation. HVY ARF and MED are doing great. All 3 of those regiments have amazing Leads, and are absolutely killing it. I’ve had the experience in helping create the new ARF and HVY tryout dupes as well, so I have a good finger on the pulse with those two. 212th Medics are some of the most shouted out in DB, and I want that to continue throughout my term.
Jedi: This is where things need to change. The 212th Jedi has been greatly struggling over the past month and a half, and it’s due to a lack of leadership. However, with Obi-Wan being open and multiple candidates as options, we’re about to kickstart that. Some of our Jedi have been or are just coming off LOA this week and next, and highlighting them to other Jedi prospects will be critical in reviving this branch. GC Jedi will potentially have an opening soon, and 2ndAC also has openings. Keeping them engaged with a lore character such as Obi-Wan will be critical to their success. By the end of my term, I want our Obi-Wan to be a staple of the battalion while having heavy interaction with the Jedi Council and our troopers.
Officer Corp: If I obtain the rank of BCMD, one of the first things I aim to do is clean up the Officer Corp. We have some people who don’t fit the standard of activity that I’d like to see for our battalion, and while I have tried solving this issue as a CMD, it’s time to start purging. People will be given adequate warnings or heads up to improve their activity or they get the boot. Some of the best troopers we have are SGM’s right now, and the WO limit is bottlenecked. As BCMD, I would increase the LT and increase the WO positions by 1, effectively eliminating that bottleneck and allowing less stagnation with promotions within the battalion. Additionally, I have created a new standard for Officer Rank Transfer that we implemented just days ago, and I believe that will remove the battalion hopping that we’re sometimes seeing.
Secondly, I want to implement an Officer Quota for events/entertainments hosted. For too long, people are just getting on during peak times and during deployment times. I’ll be implementing a 5 entertainment/event lead system a month to ensure people remain active and contribute to the Officer Corp. The quota can be done by Deployment leads or entertainment hosts. This is not that much, and keeps officers active and doing shit. The Intel Director would be exempt of this quota.
NCO’s: NCO’s are in a good spot. During my time as an officer, I worked to greatly improve recruitments with a new recruitment guide as well as create leaders with high quality RP and training. As long as we have good Officers, NCO’s will follow suit. These guys have been doing great work and even with a change in the battalion, I know everyone in their current positions will kick ass.
Overall: I am aware that we’re about to experience a dip. With Spring break, exams, and warmer weather all coming into play, along with a Jedi Survivor coming out very soon, all battalions will experience a dip in activity and players soon. I can promise that when everyone beats the game, gets tired of it, and ready for a different star wars experience, I’ll be here and waiting. I pride myself in entertainments and events, and having them readily available for 212th will be the glue that keeps us together. With the help of my fellow Commanders and a healthy and strong Officer Corp, 212th will thrive under my leadership and achieve a high standard of trooper.
If you made it this far, thank you. The fact that you've read through everything shows your dedication to ensuring the server and this battalaion thrive.
