5/5/5 solid fight thanks for the event

+1 he has been very friendly on the server as a whole and i think he would be a good fit for staff.

5/5/5 For democracy

I apologize for my lack of a response i have been in a lot of adjustment things and talks with CG members and it has been keeping me very busy so i understand your negative response to my lack of one, but i care to answer your questions anyway. 1. I would agree that CG is in a place it shouldn't be right now and things are being done fairly across the board, I've been trying to stem these things as a major by teaching people how to properly arrest and assuring that no one in CG is being protected for no reason as i have seen some sentiment outside of CG that we might protect our own. In my case i haven't hesitated to remove someone in CG over a arrest we are supposed to uphold the rules and be and example of them and for a long time people just kept saying "the server will dislike us anyways" I think that's a terrible mindset and we should always be responding to how the rest of the server sees us and making sure our judgments are fair across the board. 2. I would state that the reason people from the outside want someone else is the unwillingness to change, and the fact that in more and more situations false arrests were happening and staff had to be involved which as a member of staff i know is frustrating. I have set forth a lot of my plans to fix this and i want to move forward with them the moment i have the power to do so. 3. I wouldn't state that we are only defending our own as it seems at least from my checking that both the applications aside from mine are getting denied by CG members, i think personally kaiser would probably do a good job but reading through both our apps we want the same thing and the power to change things for the better. Like to be completely honest looking deeper we want EXACTLY the same things. 4. I see that gap as being, when we go out and take input put it together into something we can do it gets shot down by higher ups, after a very long meeting yesterday and laying everything out on the table i am now finally able as a Major to start enacting these things but it has taken weeks for me to get anywhere, whether it's being stuck in the past or scheduling conflicts we just weren't able to push any suggestions from you guys and our NCO's which made them feel like they weren't being listened to either, my goal is to never let that happen again. 5. Between the other CG app and my own is i want a lot of change and will not stop until these things are fixed, my first day is sitting down with everyone with CG and explaining the situation we are in a bad spot and we need to take the time to improve everything I'd sate i could probably have most things in better order within a month or two at max if i just had the chance, on the other application being kaiser i would state that i think he has a lot of experience leading which i agree on completely, but cg members have a lot to remember from right off the bat we enforce the rules which means we need to know them. The only edge atm i have against him is that i am already here i know exactly were the problems stem and i don't need time to figure it out when getting into office. That and in my time in CG you have probably seen from responses i have a lot of respect from my fellow CG and implementing change would be easier from someone you like or respect at least in my opinion. 6. The main things that i have to uplift currently are as follows - A SGT exam to improve rules literacy and ensure that judgement is given fair or at least with how the test is made it will give me faith that if you pass it i can be sure you made the right call 90% of the time. - Enlisted being "Trainees" given SNCO's or officers as buddies to show them the ropes at all times and only allow them to follow AOS if the are on their own, i have seen a lot of cases were if someone is questioned on an arrest they freeze up like a deer in headlights and that is a BIG problem. - it has already started for this one but a weekly meeting with the commands of other batts as in we assign officers to other bats have them go by once a week and see what thew week was like and what can be improved for the next week, at least that frequent until things have been made stable again. If you have any other questions or anything you would like in more detail hit me up in TS and i would gladly have a longer conversation with you.

Thank you for your input, i have stated i have a few large things i would like to push out before going out and seeing what other people want, and from what i know and can say there is a large want in CG to change things and push forward new ideas. I under stand the idea of a clique being a subject as to what's going on with CG but i see it more as a group of people that is the majority wanting our voices to be heard and we aren't complacent with being hated anymore, no matter how this all goes i want what's best for the server and CG.

apologies i had pressed enter to early i have given a outline to my plans as stated in the original response.

Thank you for the question the simple answer is i have on multiple occasions put forward detailed plans to improve thing and have had them denied citing "HC command thinks CG is fine" i have weeks of documents and plans set up from myself and fellow officers that as soon as i get a chance would be passed through in a a heartbeat. I can list a few in detail to show to you i am passionate and serious about this. - A SGT exam/buddy program ensuring rules literacy and cutting down on false arrests, demoting or limiting the power of individuals who don't understand or care to learn the rules of the server. - Thus far i have not hesitated to remove individuals in CG causing issues, but as stated right above i want an accountability system in place like this and have been pushing for it for a while with not response or help from the HC of CG, If you ask any of the senior or junior officers in CG i have their support and they will always have mine. - My first day in will be a massive sit down meeting with the battalion and we have to admit we are in a bad spot, which we are i have the help and support of my fellow officers in this, after that i will outline my main plans which are already set up and ready to go i am not going to drag my feet on anything. First a general rework of the NCO core and making sure they always have a voice in CG and are not held by the wayside. Second taking a look at the pile of suggestions i have from other batts and trying each out one after another. Third as a trainee position in CG is on the table atm even without the whitelist i still want a trainee phase in which the only arrests they will be doing are proper AOS. (Due to them not having to be involved in a sit if that is the case) these are just the basics and if you want more information i would happily oblige and speak with you on TS about it.

I agree entirely and sitting down with the whole battalion has been on the table a few times, along with coming up with concrete plans after going to other bats and asking their opinions, though as i have stated a bit earlier HC has been unable to budge from their position on denying our requests as officers and my own requests to enact these plans, i stand by this and will do everything to make sure that NEVER happens again under me. Thank you for your feedback.

I agree and refer you back to my previous statement.

I like how informative a lot of these questions are so i will go a bit into detail about each of your points. The first is the officer core, when it comes to setting an example to start obviously it would be discipline, then demotion and so on and so forth, but i and a few officer have been taking steps towards this already. We have the main channel open we are going to be host outreach a lot more and we pushed these suggestions through a lot of work. I know it isn't the biggest step yet but we are doing everything we can with what we can. Second I would like to state as a major my abilities and say in CG have been limited severely, i had gone out and talked with people on multiple occasions taking their input and putting something together presenting it to HC, but as i had stated earlier for some other responses they have always stated "its not that bad" or "its only one group of people" i put forward plans towards fixing things and was held at a stop sign that's why I'm doing this so the officer team can be more open to each other and getting out of this we need to be sealed off mentality. Third, i have not hesitated myself to remove people who deserve it, but as stated above i cannot announce any changes CG can make due to HC being unwilling to change. no matter how many projects or proposals i put forth they are shot down and if i try to do anything on my own i get berated.

Could you please elaborate why you -1 ed and if you have any questions or concerns can I help explain them or give clarification?

CG does need a fox to make meaningful change and currently HC is unwilling and/or unresponsive, I as a major cannot publicly state CG will be making changes because as a Major my word in CG holds no true weight, if HC does not want to make the change I cannot force them. This is why i am running for Fox. This is the list of things i have suggested and have been shot down on. - A test to ensure that only quality individuals are able to join CG cutting down on false arrests - A SGT exam that would ensure rule literacy to individuals becoming NCO's - Enlisted not being allowed to arrest outside of an AOS, due to them being new to the server and not understanding the rules properly in a lot of cases. I am not stating this to argue or cause drama i am just stating what my reality has been and why i am fighting so hard.

Unfortunately as major, i'm not sure how other battalions work on this but i have had to fight for every small change that I have done already. I do not want fox as a legacy or something as a stepping stone to further things, all i have wanted is to improve CG and make it a good place or at least a respectable one.

I believe it does need a lot of work and I have been pushing for dramatic change for a while as stated in my application, I have been and will continue to do my best to make things better even though at the moment things are at an all time low. if you have any concerns with anything i will be open to talking about it in either TS or any other voice space.
