Current votes as of now since being moved to pending: Positive 15 Negative 19 I counted manually, so +-1 on either side.
We've accepted this type of candidate for interview before. A lot of times in the past, we've looked at the action of the person when they're in leadership positions. I fully realize there is a large majority of people from the outside of the battalion in support & a large portion inside that don't, usually that type of divide goes to interview to compare and contrast the vision for the battalion based of the people's answers. I'm pretty sure Conrad is aware of that as well. When it comes to waive rules, I think having rules around a waive is just dumb asf, it's called a waive for a reason.
Realistically this is not without precedent. Off the top of my head alone I can think of Xaze's push from Fox to Recon RCMD.
