Sigh...

I have not commented on a naval application in a long time But, I do think the navy needs the care of a battalion. Yes I know the navy is now a faction, but recent admirals treated this in such a way that lead people to never get on. If you stick to your plan and actually do what you say, I think you can turn things around. Don't make me regret this +1

o7 man It was good transferring my naval to you. You've done great things to the server in the grand scheme as well

You're my favorite person to RP with too @Comics

Glad you remembered me :(

After spending a consecutive year as admiral, I thought I would've retired in a week or so to get the new admiral up to speed... Well, we were left without an admiral for a couple months and I stayed to help make sure all my documents transferred to the next admiral. @FreckI am positive you will do great things as the next admiral; I can retire finally knowing that the navy won't burn to the ground You will all still see me around the server, so until then... My word from the navy is finished

@JovanovicI'm glad I was such a help to you. It means a lot to know that I was

+1 Perhaps we remove one of the models from the final product. Senate commandos are looking to stay on the server for a little while, why not update their models

-1 The current intercom matches other props we use (Venator prop pack) This one doesn't even look like a console, it looks like a backpack

Why no naval? We were in the last one

My application plans are a little short because CG doesn't need an overhaul. All of these things are making CG function better and removing a lot of unneeded things. CG (and every battalion ever) will always have inactive/lazy officers, so the plan to fix that isn't anything groundbreaking either. The biggest way (besides what I stated) that I will make CG have a better reputation is good PR. The way the server looks at Fox is the way they look at CG as a whole. Plus, once the lower ranks see the battalion HC stepping up to good standards and being held to them, they will follow

When I first joined CG a couple months ago, I told all the officers and HC that I was there to help them wherever possible. In the recent weeks since my return from LOA, I have been talking to officers on a daily basis regarding issues (a lot of PR stuff) and how to handle it

Of course. Yes, I took a break from the server in the last couple weeks of summer and went on LOA during that time. I returned around 2 weeks ago and have been on constantly a couple hours per day on weekdays. As the school year continues, I will continue this regular schedule as well

The navy was in a very bad state at the beginning of my 4 terms and I brought it back. Professionalism increased and the reputation and respect by others also did. I also did away with some very time-tested traditions that made the navy worse. I was not afraid to do things that were right for the battalion, even if people thought the tradition mattered more. Myself and my high command overhauled multiple server-wide systems and trainings. The entire flight and ATC system was reworked and no longer needed to be wiped every month. The ENG system was brought into new light with updates to the document. All trainings received a central logging system under a master roster. All of these things showed the server how much the navy really does. All of these things helped increase the respect of the navy. Being Admiral also puts you in the GAR High Command. With being there for 1 year, I helped implement even more rules and changes to help battalions and the server as a whole. My experience leading the navy and the server for an entire year really showed people how much of an effective leader I can be and to what lengths my dedication goes. -Coruscant Guard PVT->MAJ + PVT->SGM- The first time I was in the CG, Ratio was my BCMD. This time on endor was great for CG. We were respected and did things the right way. My time in CG first from Private to Major showed me how to lead in CG and how to make the battalion work the right way. I left CG to main my naval then joined back towards the end of my term. My second time in CG I specifically joined to ‘help the battalion’. From an outside perspective CG was suffering and from an inside one as well. I rose through the ranks and gained leadership positions quickly as the command knew they could trust me. I worked with officers and command to better the battalion. Often giving them outside and inside perspectives. I will note my semi-recent ‘dip in activity’, I was feeling burnt out and the server was no longer appealing so I went on LOA. After this LOA, I have been active almost every week day for the past 2 weeks and continue to uphold my activity standards for my entire time I remain in CG. Why should you become a Battalion Commander?: -A Plan- Most BCMDs get the position and then sit around for a week or two and figure out what they’re going to do. Not me. My plan as BCMD starts day 1. Firstly, the removal of the discipline corps. The only thing that I and many others (including officers) have seen from the discipline team is lax punishments and toxic power struggles from discipline leadership. I also have plans to rework DS to cement it into the battalion structure but I will touch on that later. -Experience- Experience in Synergy apps is oftentimes over-hyped. I too do not like when an applying BCMD puts every battalion they’ve ever been in on their app. But here it is different. I’ve been in 2 battalions. 1 of them as a regimental command for a year and the other as a senior officer. Both times the battalion experienced growth and development and reduced toxic behaviors. Especially with being waived for this application, my experience is really what is shining through. -An Outside Perspective- An issue that many CG commanders have is becoming too close with their command staff. Don’t get me wrong, a good commander needs to be tightly knit with their entire officer corps. However, in CG it has been shown that a lot of commanders (and officers) do not really do much and simply hold these positions because they have been in the battalion for a long time. With my constant outside point of view, I can always make the right decisions. Even if that means removing people from positions they no longer deserve. -Connections- Being in server High Command for so long, people recognize my name and know me quite well. This is a very good thing for a fox to have. Fox needs to have good relations with every battalion to smooth over some very hard situations that come up. People know they can talk to me, so when those situations (like arrests) come up, I can help work everything out. Do you understand the lore of your battalion or squad?: Yes Availability: Sunday : All day Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 3pm-9pm EST I am always available on discord Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?: About 2 and a half years - 9,827 hours Do you have a microphone?: Yes Where do you want your battalion or squad to be at the end of your term?: -Diplomatic Services- The DS has been in a weird limbo state recently. A half mix of branch leads and subunits. My plan is to end this half and half. I want to cement that the lore characters of DS (and tracker) will be the branch leads. You apply for a lead, you get the lore character. Stone and Thorn will act as the DS Lead and can choose their lore character, just like the rancor battalion with their commanders. The regular DS troopers will act as a branch. This simplification will remove lots of confusion about what DS is and how it is running. -Officer Corps- An ongoing issue within CG is officers (especially command) being in positions and not pulling their weight. CG often has an XO and 3 CMDs but it does not feel like it. Under me, the entire corps will be under evaluation to see where they best belong. This is not a wipe, it is however going to result in promotions and demotions. I have always hated the tradition of promoting one rank at a time even though they’re doing good work. -Discipline- As touched in my plan section, discipline is a big issue in the CG. The CG is the police of the server, if they’re doing wrong it should be dealt with. This does not include toxic punishments and punishments for the smallest things. But if you get arrested for RDM, you will be demoted. This goes for all ranks. Another issue in CG from an outside and inside view is the lack of punishment for senior officer+. They’re always the ones to act out, but never dealt with. That’s why, the officer corps will come together as a discipline team instead of one or two people calling all the shots. -Return to status quo- The biggest thing facing CG is a massive command gap and insufficient management. This would change under me by just having an active BCMD that will head off problems before they arise. I already mentioned my officer corps plan, but my HC would also help out a lot too. The CG needs a leader that can put them in the right place in the long term. But in the short term, that means returning to normal life. 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

-1 CIS rings very strong with me on this application. Being in HC during the CIS, I can say that it sucked. There was no activity and was only filled with controversy and inactivity, leading to it being removed. I can only think that controversy would also be a factor of your BCMD term
