The trouble with battalions, where is the CT Battalion?

I continuously find myself perplexed as to why some things occur the way they do from time to time, for instance. During my time in the 327th we would put in alot of extra effort on planetary events that would either go unnoticed, or the praise would be given to a completely seperate unit (typically a specialized group).  After noticing this i decided to persue a different Battalion and i set out to join the Galactic Marines, while the training is extensive and the RP is often times Decently fulfilling, it leaves some to be desired, uppon looking into the numbers i realized that specialized battalions only deploy on certain events and from time to time dont deploy all. 

 

this takes me in to my primarty point in which i would like to know why there is no CT Battalion, it would remove the pressure of finding a battalion i may or may not like for the sake of progressing in rank only for that trouble of finding a battalion to be redundant because i dont enjoy the battalion as much as i should or thought i would. CT's arent just fodder and they arent just people who cant find battalions they are troopers too and i find it almost upsetting that if i want to play on the server and progress in rank i MUST be in a battalion, be a jedi or be in the fleet. please bring back the CT battalion. it would only need a CPT an XO and a CO along with basic MED, HVY, and TROOPER classes and could aleviate some of the trouble that I and a few other people have currently.

 

Thanks.

I would plus 1 this but this is a gmod server and you are encouraged to be a part of a certain battalion. 

The way I view it is different battalions specialising in different fields. For example

91st if you like recon

Galactic marines to be versatile:Engineers/Fighters

CG Police

 

CTs are not specialised apart from the fact they are normal troopers and the more CTS there are the less battalion numbers there will be.

The 101st was a thing (multiple times) but was removed because we want people to join a battalion and not stay as a CT PVT. This way all the battalions grow more. Even now theres multiple people staying as CT PVT so imagine how many would if we gave them a ranking system

GM is basically all types of Non-Player RP with boarding shit with Null. I guess technically you could call use the Space Marines from 40k. Anyways CTs from what I heard are the stepping stone. 101st was removed for being dead. Hell we even used to have ranked CTs but that got outta hand. You should find a battalion with people you like and jobs you wanna do. Besides take and Stern have already said my opinion on the whole thing

It all does depend on your play style, whether u like frontline assaults with intense combat, that would be an ATK Batt (501st, 212th, 327th, GM) with some having slight differences such as GM being engineers. If you like to be quiet and report on certain findings and be able to take care of yourself in an outnumbered situation, that would be Recon (91st, 41st, SC, RANCOR) with differences aswell. Behind the scenes work and especially dangerous assignments with great equipment would be SOBDE (NULL, RC). Finally SPEC is different in the fact that each batt in this reg has different specialties such as 104th being mechanized assault/hostage negotiation and rescue and CG being the PoPo

Strangely enough this was responded to just as blindly and as "Woosh" like as i expected no one "saw the point"

 

"this way people would avoid being forced to join a battalion they dont care about in order to progress."

" iF U WanT To PRgResS You HaVE 2 JoiN a BATtaLIon."

im aware of how it works im saying i may as well just be a PVT if i dont enjoy the battalions.

Progress isn't inhibited by not being in a battalion?

You won't get any rank progress by being a CT (But if you're a CT who cares about rank?) 

You can still join the TR program (Sock is TRM isn't in a battalion and isn't staff)

You can join the Naval or Jedi (if you have VIP) and progress that way.

CT's are a stepping point for others to learn and find what they like best as its basically a "Trainee/fresh out of boot camp" position, most military you will start out as a basic private then get assigned to a Unit/Battalion then progress that way as you don't have a specific goal or purpose as a new private not assigned to anyone.

CT battalion would just be a redundant step (as it would be treated as an attack battalion because that's what regular troopers were) and we already have 4 of those.

like a lot of them said, CTs are a stepping stone, the most basic. no medics, no heavies, no special equipment. we are just the basic troopers. although I have always supported the idea of a ranked CT system it will probably never happen, for valid reasons and some reasons that are stupid.

 

 

The point is though if you really dont like any battalions you join what's gonna make a CT battalion any different to you, what if the leadership and way things are run is identical to the rest. your situation wont change weather there is a CT battalion or not.

Progression in leadership and Rank is incredibly hindered by not being in a battalion due to the fact that CT's can't surpass the rank of PVT, to my understanding and according to the rules i would have to be a SGT for sake of TR training and at the very least ARC training SGT is also required which is not achievable by the positin of CT but most of the battalions are to harsh, to mingy, or inactive.

How would adding yet another battalion change that?

Basically, you want to be an independent trooper but still be able to gain ranks and leadership roles without being in one of the current battalions? 

ARC training is set by the battalion in-charge of it (Rancor) and that's the requirement they have set which is not hard to attain.

You can be TR trained without having to be an SSG (Again progress in Naval, Jedi, or apply to staff)

CT's PVTs would just be assigned to battalions as reinforcements without being officially joining a battalion (many clone wars episode supports this) but they were regulated to front-line duty along with other battalions regular troopers.

There is zero need for a CT battalion, adding that structure would just turn it into another one of the battalions you already said you don't enjoy.

101st was (imo) a great concept in its time, though for reasons other than it being dead it was removed without warning.

While I believe that perhaps it is good for other battalions in the long run, it was fun having a place where new people felt welcome

People shame and dishonor things they don't like, and most people disliked 101st for various reason, as stupid as they were.
