Battalion or squad you are applying for: 501st Commander Rex
Experience: 41st [May 2020] PVT - SSG Naval Recruit-Crewman 501st SSG-CMD Torrent Company Commander Torrent Company Echo Torrent Company Tup 501st Warrant Officer Appo REGL ARCO MEDO
Why should you become a Battalion Commander?: When I first joined I had no intent to get where I was today, I first joined 501st wanting to get the lore character fives at the time I was new to the server and I didn’t know what arc training was so I never had a chance to get him. I first became a MEDO and became Tup of torrent company, later on, I was given the chance at becoming warrant officer appo and I took it, during my term as warrant officer I worked as the DCL and I took the NCOs and Enlisted under my wing, As warrant officer, I learned a lot of leadership skills and I feel as I grew my maturity through this position as I was tasked with a lot of duties and I was in charge of taking care of the NCO core. Later on, I was promoted to captain and TCO with those positions. I worked alongside the current TCC at the time and helped make and build the new torrent company tryouts and I became Echo and an ARCO. I was then promoted to MAJ, Then LTC, And finally Colonel, with being appointed colonel I was also appointed with REGL, As REGL I made sure every regiment documents, tryouts, and leadership were doing fine. A week later after being appointed colonel and REGL, I was promoted to commander, To this day, achieving the rank of a commander is still one of my biggest achievements in this community. Only recently when my XO stepped down from TCC he chose me to become the next TCC. I feel like all of these positions have prepared me for this position other than those experiences as a BCMD You need Kindness and you need to have the ability to decipher between what is right and what is wrong. As rex you are supposed to support and be open with your men, going onto this I feel like I had made sure that everyone in this battalion has a place and I always go the extra mile to make sure everyone is doing okay, although this is just a game I still see my battalion as my friends and people I can rely on and vice versa. Ever since our most current rex term ended there has been a lack of central leadership in the battalion and I finally wanna get 501st back to its glory days.
Do you understand the lore of your battalion or squad?: Yes, The 501st was an attack battalion that was lead by Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Commander Rex, In lore and the server the 501st has to main subunits one being torrent company which was a group of the more elite and battle proficient troopers which was lead mainly by Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and Rex, and then we have the second subunit which is 332nd, 332nd was a group of troopers loyal to the previous Jedi Commander Ashoka Tano, the trooper of this subunit was identified by their orange marking on their masks to resemble Ahsoka in honor of her serving with them, this subunit was run by Commander Rex with Ashoka as an advisor and Vaughn as a noticeable officer of the company. Availability: Monday - Sunday
Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?: 1216:19:38.
Do you have a microphone?: Yes
Where do you want your battalion or squad to be at the end of your term?: Whether not I get accepted or not I’m gonna make sure at the end of my term that my battalion gets into a solid position, going more into that I feel like the battalion is currently in a decent spot with some neglected issues.
Activity, I feel like in the state of the world right now with everything going on and the fact everyone has school currently and Covid 19 as well I don't expect people to always have free time to play on the server although I would like to see more activity and more numbers in the battalion that ties into school and Covid.
High Command, I feel like right now the 501st High Command Is a mess, going further into that I feel like the main problem right now between high command is the lack of communication between us all, One prime example of this is when people are getting promoted an officer rank when it never been discussed nor talked about, There's just been a gap within the high command with everyone's decisions and communication it feels like half of the time we are always on different pages and if this doesn't get resolved its gonna start affecting more people so it needs to end now and get resolved.
One thing that hasn't been touched at all was subunits, right now our subunits don't do anything in the battalion, Originally 332nd was supposed to be a mentor program but it really never went anywhere and still isn't really being touched, and then torrent company has never really done anything besides being *elite*, I would like to assign both of the subunits tasks an example being the 332nd Mentor Program I think this idea is great because instead of just sitting as a subunit its gives the members something to do to assist the battalion, I also feel the same with torrent company it’s just been sitting doing nothing for the battalion, I've thought of assigning torrent company members to be the in control of training and be the people who host the vast amount of them.
One thing that struck my eye was when our previous rex went on a two week LOA, during these times I was still a major in the battalion and everyone was clueless at first because this was the first time our BCMD was gone and our commanders were in charge but they didn't know what to do at the beginning, at the end of my term I want to make sure that I have a strong officer core and a line up of commanders that will make sure to carry the battalion on its back in my absence. 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
