Battalion or squad you are applying for:
41st Elite Corps Battalion Commander Gree
Experience:
104th (PVT - 1stLT)
To kick off my journey into Synergy, I joined the 104th battalion. This was an obvious choice for me. Not only did I already know a few of the members within the battalion, but the way they carried themselves struck me as the kind of soldier I wanted to be. Right off the bat I joined the Support / ARF Trooper Regiment. I started rising through the ranks, and soon enough, I reached SGT. Now I was starting to contribute back to the battalion by recruiting and setting an example for our enlisted. Within the next couple days, I was made Support Officer. This gave me regimental responsibility within the battalion. During the time I was SUPO, I hosted trainings, recruited people into the regiment, guided others on how to become a better support trooper, and how to strengthen their RP in the process. A couple weeks later, I decided to move to a regiment that needed the most help. This lead me to the Heavy branch. It was temporarily taken over By an officer, due to it having only one officer. I was motivated to fix and restore the branch, which in turn lead me to receiving an officer position in the regiment. By this time I was a MSG. On the verge of becoming a Senior NCO, I felt ready to take on more responsibility. I was able to learn from my Commanding Officers’ how to run a regiment, how to lead others, and how to prove myself within the battalion. My current Heavy Lead seeing this, he promoted me to HVYX due to the amount of work I put into the Heavy Branch. I was doing continuous tryouts everyday, recruiting more and more people into Heavy, succeeding in making it the most full and active regiment in the battalion. During my time as HVYX, I decided to apply for the Wolfpack. I was ready to move up and prove my worth. I achieved the name “Sinker” within Wolfpack a week later. Still putting consistent work into the heavy regiment, I made many documents such as; a new tryout doc, a new handbook / Guidelines sheet for heavies to follow, and a brand new officer core within the regiment. Proving my worth within my attitude, determination, and motivation to do more, I achieved the rank of 1stLT within the battalion. However, it wasn’t long after this when I decided to leave the battalion.
41st (2ndLT - LTC)
I joined the 41st Elite Corps Battalion after 104th. After joining, I was given the rank 2ndLT. I instantly started getting to work on the battalion due to the fact that there were only six officers that formed the core. I joined the Intel Team right away and joined a regiment (HVY), wanting to do as much as I could for the 41st. We promoted a new Intel Director to start filling up the holes within the Intel Team. After roughly three weeks in the battalion, I passed Green Company tryouts and joined the sub-unit. With the minginess levels rating high, I was told by the head of the Disciplinary Branch to apply for a Junior Disciplinary position, seeing how I was setting a good role model for the NCOs’ and Enlisted. After a while, heavy started to get good leadership, I left and went to the ARC regiment, then managed to get ARCX over time. Nearing the end of my ARC Lead's run, he entrusted me with the title of ARCL, and handed me the reins before moving onto the next step in his journey. During the time I spent as Captain, I watched over the 1st and 2ndLT’s, as well as the current Warrant Officer, to take notes on how they were performing as officers. Doing this, I could see if they were to be promoted or if they needed to step up. While this was happening, the Disciplinary Branch was wiped, due to some members not being active or pulling their weight. Due to my activity, maturity, and knowledge within the battalion, I was placed in the position of Chief Disciplinary Officer. This position was an important milestone on how I would act, treat, and talk with other people. This allowed me to grow as a mentor and as a role-model to the rest of the battalion. I then ranked the rank of LTC roughly 2 weeks after CPT. Putting me in a position to further push myself and test my ability as an officer. Throughout my whole time in 41st, I was developing within the Intel Team. I became more punctual, more prepared, and more active outside of the game. I stayed at Intel Member until I understood how the system worked and how to correctly log everything, then got promoted to Intel Officer. I started training the new Intel Members and also took on some of the Manager roles since we were lacking in that area. I was then made Intel Manager for taking extra time to fix things that were wrong, helping other Intel with docs or work they were confused about, and showing an interest in particular areas. With the unfortunate departure of our Intel Director, I was made Intel Deputy Director by the new ITD. At this point in time, I am holding ARCL (A regimental lead position), CDO (A branch lead position), and ITDD (a second-in-command Intel position).As a senior officer, I have continued to add on mentor ship and leadership to my abilities. I am still currently watching over the officer core and fulfilling all the roles I am currently holding.
Why should you become a Battalion Commander?:
Even though I have been in this battalion for a short time, I have taken up responsibilities and positions within the battalion that have forged me into the leader I am today. I obtained the Chief Disciplinary title due to my maturity and ability to be stern, serious, and direct with my troopers. My maturity is at the level required to take up such an important position. I know the borderline between work and play, as well as being able to bring people in line and have them focus on the current situation. I am lenient to an extent, always talking in both sides of a dispute before deciding punishment or choosing to let it go. As ARC, I am confident in my leadership abilities, being able to strategically place and direct my squad with the best odds for success. I have became a mentor and a role model to Officers and NCOs alike. I have gained their respect and they have mine. I make myself available at any time of the day, whether it be morning, after, or night. NCOs and Officers are able to come to me with in game issues, issues within branches or regiments, and sometimes IRL issues. I believe having close ties within battalion are beneficial. It makes people more relaxed and comfortable, allowing an escape from a thing called life. I believe as BCMD I can enhance these ties, and pull the battalion together. Being and acting like a family is key. This is what I am able to create if given the opportunity.
Do you understand the lore of your battalion or squad?:
Yes I do. The 41st Elite Corps Battalion, was a military infantry / aerial corps that was led by Clone Commander CC-1004, also known as Gree. This battalion’s Jedi General was Luminara Unduli, and for a brief time, Jedi General Quinlin Vos and Grand Master of The Order Jedi General Yoda. The 41st Elite Corps had many specialized sub units; most notably Green Company, the 41st Ranger Platoon, and the 41st Scout Battalion. Also not forgetting the crew stationed on the Venator-class Star Destroyer “Tranquility”, and the Sarlacc A / Sarlacc B Battalions. The 41st Elite Corps are seen in action during the Battle of Geonosis, Attack on the Tranquility, Battle of Coruscant, Battle of Kashyyyk, and the Mission to Rodia.
Availability:
Mon -Fri: 2pm EST - 5am EST
Sat - Sun: 11am EST - 6am EST
Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?:
5 Months
Do you have a microphone?:
Yes I do.
Where do you want your battalion or squad to be at the end of your term?:
I want to see the 41st Battalion working in an automatic fashion. I want to eliminate the need for the BCMD to manage the battalion themselves, but rather the BCMD work as an Advisor and Overseer. I want to see the BCMD intervene only if there is a branch or CMD+ not doing their job. The Regiments, Intel Team, Disciplinary Team, and CMD - XO should be able to keep the battalion in good health, good status, regardless if there is a BCMD or not. In short, the BCMD should be a want, rather than a need. I will make it my goal to complete the following:
Anonymous Voting - The ability for officers to vote out a branch lead that is inactive or not doing work. This will keep active and hard working members in high positions, as well as remove inactive and lazy members who hold a title and do nothing with it.
Insert Regimental Leads - Give hard working NCOs / Officers Lead positions that are earned. This will increase popularity within regiments by displaying a strong and inviting Regimental Officer Core.
Mentor System - Allows officers to coach NCOs’ (Long term goal is using this system to create a stronger officer core and stronger relationship between officers and NCOs)
Demotion / Removal of inactive Officers - If someone is inactive as an officer, they won’t be an officer. Simple as that.
Promote new and deserving officers
Fill all 3 GC lore characters
Rework the Green Company Tryouts, assign new GCL
Keep up active numbers / engage in rp, trainings, events, etc.
Enhance relationships with fellow Recon Battalions - Follow Recon REG Black's example and host collaboration trainings, large scale SIMs, and joint reconnaissance training's.
Create ties with 104th - Translations and Negotiations go hand in hand. I want to be able to coordinate and conduct joint training's, with the intent of smoothing negotiations with counter insurgency.
Cooperation with SOBDE Outreach - Allow Outreach to take the mantle in trainings, give advice to troopers, and take leadership during events
Add new Jedi to the Battalion - At the battalion's current state, we do not have too many Jedi. The addition of new Jedi will help the battalion gain Jedi numbers and prepare the battalion for a more open and diverse set of players.
Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?:
Yes, I know all too well what it’s like to not have an active BCMD. I would never leave my battalion for any reason.
Do you understand that your position has a three month term limit and you must reapply after three months to maintain your commander rank?:
I understand completely.
