One could argue that its not "free promotions for doing nothing" its pretty obvious that he did something in order to attain the rank he has. Furthermore, my personal opinion is just let them be them, the CT will never become a large battalion because new players do not like staying in there, Sock and the other guy (idk who) are achieving a lot, like joining the ARC program and also TR program. Also, whats wrong with having someone dedicate themselves to leading the CT during events and such? I mean it helps other battalions too, who has ever had a CT in their battle station not knowing what to do and screwing everyone. I say let Sock do what he wants, until he makes a mistake that is cause for demotion or he decides to leave for another battalion, let the man have fun.
