Battalion or squad you are applying for: 327th
Experience:
First real experiences on the server:
I remember my first days in the 327th and what made me fall in love with the battalion and its people and attitude, Immediately enjoyed the overall chillness of the battalion and the brotherly love that each member shared. When I started out during my enlisted Phase I was intimidated by higher ranks and was afraid of screwing up even though it was just a game a little habit i still have at this current day but during the time I was eager to become SPC so i could become a 327th Medic and a SGT to recruit people to the battalion I loved, During my starting days i scored a kill on a commando droid event job and started to immediately hone my medical skills with the current medical lead Hiki, who while not the most active CMDR on the server, she still taught me a lot of skills i would use later on in the server. Not long after I Became a SPC on my first/second[?] day in the 327th where i joined the medical branch and immediately got AMED Trained here i became a well known and renowned medic. When i was promoted i went for a MEDO position within the 327th position running against Loopy, and while i was bested by him for the title i held no resentment against him for it, using this opportunity to try and become better and became a prominent recruiter for the 327th, At the time and possibly still [the doc got updated so it’s hard to say] I was the 3rd highest recruiter behind Poe and GuardianRobot and had logged over 25+ Surgeries within the 327th before the document that held the surgeries was removed from the medical program in which I performed many more surgeries that remained unlogged.
My stint as ARC:
I soon decided however that i truly wanted to be an ARC trooper and set my sights on that. So I began to make my way towards becoming ARC. I attended Selections only to fail the first time, but i didn't let that deter me from pushing towards it. I attended selections a second time and passed with flying colors. I then proceeded to pass every other ARC training on the first attempt. It was such an exciting feeling, to finally remove MED from my name and replace it with the three letters I had longed to see in my name A.R.C. I then decided that i wanted to be the best ARC that the 327th had and so i applied for the position of ARCO, of which i was accepted. I then made it my goal to see that not only was the 327th prepared for any outcome, or even becoming an ARC themselves. So i talked to the current Blitz and asked him if it would be alright to train others in ARC-style tactics formations and the like. He agreed and so i set to work. I would constantly hold training for the other members of the server, to teach them how to better interact as a unit as well as members of the server.
Command experience:
My first real taste of command was during my time as ARCO. it taught me many valuable lessons that i needed to learn, such as when to apply pressure and when it is better just to back off and let the troops do their thing. This was my first time being in command but it wouldn't be the last. I pushed myself hard with daily activity, constant tryouts, and the drive to see myself given an officer position so that i could promote troops as our officer corps wasn't very active at the time. When i was given WO, everything changed, i had more responsibilities and expectations and met them head on. In addition was the respect given to me by the enlisted and lower NCO's of the 327th, and I absolutely refused to let them or the officers that were watching my progress down. SO i continued to push ever higher up the ranks, never lording my rank over anyone or acting as if i was superior to anyone else, but rather i took everything with a relaxed and calm demeanor, ready to tackle whatever the future would hold for me. I am also one of the longest standing members of the 327th's staff core and that is something i hope to maintain in the future moving onward
Why should you become a Battalion Commander?:
I believe I can carry out the responsibility of a Battalion Commander mainly because of my long lasting time in 327th where I have experienced the high and low points of the battalion with countless other scenarios that of which I can use to my advantage and improve the battalion whether it may be the lack of discipline or training's, I know I can provide the necessary actions for the battalion to keep it in peak condition and maintain its current status.
Another reason I should become BCMD is because of my relationships across the base. I have made a lot of friendships that of which have rose up the ranks like myself. Because of this it opens up new doors to new training's with other battalions which could strengthen our combat abilities and or general discipline during battles making the server more immersive since we became SeriousRP which is a given bonus, and while it is true that that the battalion is not in the best of shapes, i hope to improve our image and inner workings to not only make the 327th a serious, but fun battalion, in addition to showing the rest of the server how willing both the 327th and I are to this server
One thing i do want to address is my apparent inactivity as well, something that some may raise against me being Bly. I will not contest this I am largely inactive but this has been due to a truly horrible cocktail of school, personal issues, and other reasons i dont feel like going into, but that is all hopefully dealt with, and i look forward to bettering not just my image, but the 327th's as well
Another concern that many have raised against me is that i am mingey and don't take things seriously, and while it is true that i am not the most serious of people, when it comes down to it i care about this battalion and wish to see it flourish, i wouldn't have applied again if i intended to ruin the 327th's reputation with anything less than the absolute seriousness that the BCMD position of Bly requires.
One final thing that i know people are gonna bring against me is what jayarr referenced in his resignation, and many are gonna accuse me of powerplaying or perhaps just a toxic person that disrespected someone, and while i will freely admit i said many rude things behind his back, it was just me venting all of my frustrations and was never meant to be heard but i made the judgement error of allowing my frustration to overpower my senses. I will freely admit that i made a mistake and many will look down on me for it, and i don't blame them but it was a mistake that i will take care not to repeat. I have learned from it and will ensure that it doesn't occur again
Do you understand the lore of your battalion or squad?: I do
Availability: 8+ hours a day
Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?: I have played for 1215:01:49.
Do you have a microphone?: yes
Where do you want your battalion or squad to be at the end of your term?:
By the end of my term i want the 327th's numbers to be higher than they ever have been before. I aim to accomplish this by ensuring that the 327th gets a strong NCO base that can bring many new members in, but also ensure that they are well trained, because while numbers are nice the quality of the troops can never be understated
Another improvement would be to circulate better dialogue between the officers and the enlisted and NCOs as it often seems as if people are having issues that they refuse to tell officers about. Even the day-to-day suffers for our lack of communication between officers and those below them I want to improve this by bring back the weekly meetings we had before.
I also aim to have our combat tactics improved, far too often do we just mindlessly run into combat like fools, and get slaughtered as a result. I aim to improve this by having weekly training, where each will focus on a different aspect of combat and siege, as well as dealing with the NPC combat we often find ourselves dealing with as well as the more unique enemies that we run across. The training will also very in type from breach and clear to "hold and survive"
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
