(First of all I'd like to apologize, I know I resigned and I regretted it instantly. I contacted Marvel and was approved to reapply, i have spoken with my Commander Core and they are also aware and supportive of this. )

Steam ID (SteamID Finder):
STEAM_0:1:543219273
Battalion you are applying for:
Galactic Marines
How many terms you've held the position?:
One.
Why do you wish to maintain this position?:
With all the changes I've made to GM in the past 3 months, It had taken some time before I saw the fruits of these efforts arise. I realized after my resignation that I hadn't had as much fun on the server in awhile as I did in those final days. That was when I realized that the team I put in place, my effort and my actions alongside those around me changed my perspective as a whole and made me want to reapply for this position. I have left GM in a place that has seen its most activity since our change to Onderon, it’s well formatted, well rounded and our standards are slowly on the rise as things progressively get better within the battalion. With an influx of many old friends and GM alike, I would love nothing more than to RP and lead the battalion once more. My time in Galactic Marines has easily been the highlight of my time on the server. Through the bad and good times the battalion has been there for me, and I wish to see many of my present and future plans through. This way I can be held accountable for anything I may do, and attempt to fix things that may not be liked if the battalion wishes it so.
Current availability:
Usually about 4-5 days a week.
Anywhere from 12-4pm EST
After 10:15 pm EST on some days.
Almost 24/7 on discord.
What have you achieved within your battalion during your past term?:
As Bacara I have…
- Managed to bring about the most active GM since our Onderon switch, averaging about 5 players on and 6-7+ on deployments,
- Reworked the Honorary system to give people something to work and strive towards, while not setting it too high as to circumvent future rank progression
- Reworked the discord to be accommodating, Less bloated, and have more to do during downtime/off server
- Implemented the lore squadron into Devil Dogs (Jark, Sten, Fixer) to give it more appeal and roleplay uniqueness around the server.
- Instated a Keller who I worked alongside at the revival of KU, who has since made KU the most populous subunit in GM.
- Added a Marine Advisor role (with inspiration from the 41st Advisor role) to allow former BCMDs and long time members of GM to give input and valuable information to future BCMDs who may need it.
- Garnered insane amounts of feedback on the Return Special Operations post and brought it to the Founders attention.
- Minor other quality of life changes in docs, discord, rules, and in our roleplay that would be nitpicking if i mentioned.
What improvements or changes do you plan on making within your battalion?:
As far as things go, GM is in an outstanding spot compared to the start of my term. As of now I would love to start adjusting documents and looking for things to add to GM as a whole. With our constant activity right now, scheduling SIMs, Trainings, or Patrols would be ideal to build a relationship and presence on the server. Another thing was brought up to me upon our seasonal map switch that I never got to implement, and that was bringing back a version of Cold Weather Warfare. While this wouldn’t be mandatory, I would love to sit down with the Officers of GM and find a way to make it into a SIM or a Patrol we could all do in between an event and invite other battalions to do so alongside us. I plan to increase the standard of roleplay in GM as well. I would contact the Mechanized Regimental (Who is our GMD and a great dupe builder) to ask if we could get together and build unique dupes for the battalion to run through so that our weekly SIMs wouldn’t get stale. During my term, communication was somewhat decent in the battalion, but at the end things got rough and some discipline became mandatory. I think some of this could be solved by bringing back weekly/bi-weekly meetings voted on by the battalion now that we have people who can attend. I would also look towards giving KU as a whole more of a purpose on the server. As it stands with KU being our most popular sub-unit, it’s not a surprise that in the past they’ve just been regarded as White GM and I would like to sit down with the current Keller and change that. We have spoken about it in the past and have some ideas regarding some possibilities. Finally I plan to take any possible surprises in the future head on and make sure to always be in contact with my Officer core to ensure that nothing surprises anyone and that we are more than capable of handling the things we chew. I can achieve this by giving each Officer a weekly task. Whether this is hosting a Patrol, SIM, Training or a meeting, this can bring incentive for promotions, credit rewards, relationship building with GMs and Battalions, as well as providing entertainment. Of course I can't expect to know everything that would happen under my term, but I always plan to be as communicative as possible. Towards the end of this term, if I get a 2nd one, I would like to send out a feedback form to the battalion and ensure that I would be leaving the battalion with as few flaws as possible.
Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?:
I do.
