212th - TR3 to CMD

I was in the 212th Attack Battalion for 12 months, when i started in the battalion i felt like "the new kid" and i was basically a shut in, i rarely ever spoke let alone lead events. But over time i realized that the 212th was a big family and that i did not have anything to be afraid of, so eventually i started speaking and socializing with the members of the 212th, this was the biggest turning point in my "career", i soon found myself leading events, making new friends and having a better time overall. i served under 3 Commander Cody's, Blackmamba, CBlake and Perri. Most of the things i know today i learned during my time in 212th, i learned everything from how to march in a straight line, how to recruit, how to host a meeting, how to lead an event, but most importantly i learned that the battalion always comes first, over friendship, bias and favouritism. During my time in the 212th i slowly worked my way up the ranks and along the way i picked up roles like

HVT: I was a HVT for a big part of my time in the 212th, as a HVT i slowly learned the basics of how to properly train people.

 2ndAC: When i got the rank of SFC i was offered a tryout for the 2ndAC so i thought, why not, but when the tryouts came around i learned a new lesson when i borderline passed them on a technicality, that it requires effort to get somewhere in the battalion and that if you want something you have to work for it. 

 ARC/ARCO: When i was going trough my ARC training, i learned a bunch of important stuff like leadership, combat tactics and most importantly i learned teamwork and when i got my ARC certification the battalion was low on ARCOs, so the ARCL observed me for a week or two and he deemed me worthy of the rank ARCO

 GCO: I worked my ass off as GCS, i helped with GC tryouts, i hosted trainings that were required for GC tryouts, i helped with doc work etc. When i got promoted to GCO, i helped the GCL with all kinds off stuff but the biggest thing was that me and him basically reworked GC together. I was basically the 2nd in command of GC. Getting GCO was a big part in my development as a leader

 Heavy Overseer: When i had spent months as a HVT i got promoted to the role of Heavy Overseer, i was there to keep the two offensive regiments in check (HVY and Combat Trooper) And to make sure that they had a good leader and a certain amount of trainers at all times. This is when i learned that the battalion goes over friendship and favouritism

Advanced Recon Overseer: When i had been grinding as a GCO, ARCO and ARFO for weeks i was promoted to the rank Advanced Recon Overseer as ARO i oversaw ARC, ARF and GC in the 212th, it had the same responsibilities as a but on a bigger scale Heavy Overseer, just with different regiments and i held that position until i left the 212th

 Infantry Training Course Manager: As an ITM i was the trainer and overseer of ITRs (Infantry training trainers)

I also achieved the Ghost Company lore names "Trapper" and "Wooley"

 It took me 10 months to go from TR3 to CMD, if you asked me now, was all the time you spent really worth it? I would say yes, even though it took a lot of my free time the battalion still shaped me and helped a big bunch and it also gave me a lot self confidence. During my time in the 212th i went from a shy and clueless CT TR3 who had never played CWRP before, to a battle hardened 212th Ghost Company commander with hundreds of battles and tons of leadership experience under my belt.

Omega - CPT to XO
When i decided that my time in 212th had come, so when i saw Nade/Former Niner adverting: OMEGA SQUAD TRYOUTS, TYPE I-RC IN OOC AND LINE UP AS CT PVT #### DARMAN.  I took the opportunity and i went for it, it is true that it was hard to leave the 212th but i felt that i needed some time away from it and i felt like i needed to see the server from a new perspective. And it was for the better, if i had to do it again i would. I have been in Omega Squad for 2 months now and during that time i have learned the ins and outs of Omega and SOBDE. I have helped with Omega squad tryouts multiple times and i have hosted them myself on one occasion under Nade/former Niners supervision and i do feel that i have developed a good sense of picking new members/sorting out the good from the bad. I have been the XO of Omega Squad for 1 month now and i have had many new experiences that have been good for my progression in the squad, SOBDE and in the server in general. I often find myself hanging out with other battalions too and i do tend to make some friends outside SOBDE. It was also in Omega i found joy in RPing a character with a lot of already existing lore.

Jedi - Youngling to Padawan
When i got VIP in late 2017/early 2018 (Don't really remember exactly when i got VIP) i immediately started studying for the youngling trials and i was really pumped about trying a new thing on the server that wasn't on my clone. When i had passed youngling trials i went on to become a consular i came in contact with pretty "deep" RP or at least that's what i thought of it back then, a couple of weeks later i went on to become a healer and that's when i learned how to keep a passive RP situation going trough improvisation.

TR Program
The TR program was my first contact with training people and it opened my eyes to a new concept that i had never been in contact with before and it got me hooked since i thought it was a lot of fun so it made me go on and get a number of different training roles in the 212th

 

Why should you become a Battalion Commander?:
 I have learned a lot during my time in 212th and Omega and i have a lot of leadership experience and i believe that i'm ready to take on the role of the squad leader position of Omega squad. I understand what it means to lead Omega squad and i do have some pretty big plans for Omega squad.
If i get the position of squad leader, then i will do my best to fill the shoes of the previous leader and i will also do my best to keep the standards of the squad and even improve them and i will do whatever it takes and work my ass off until i have reached those goals.
I am also good at decision making and i will use that to help change the squad for the better. And i also do find that i have good relations and chemistry with my squad.
I do believe that i have a good eye for new recruits that could be of benefit to the squad.
I will not allow minging in my squad if i get the leader position, i will make it a lot more strict, but i do not believe in the "hardass" approach of Omega since i do think that that is over the top and i do still want it to be enjoyable to be in the squad

Yes, i do indeed understand the lore of the squad

[meowthemeower]

honestly I got 2 emails saying you put this app up so I’m annoyed had to stop a YouTube video to look at those but it’s a nice app so +1 but your mean it was a great YouTube video

[Woeny]

+1 thanks for answer bedt of luck  i know youd be a good niner ive just seen that you intend to return to the 212th soon you said is this still your intentions @Whisper?

Edited October 29, 2018 by woeny23

[Whisper]

@woeny23 No, i was planning on returning for a while there but i ultimately decided that i will stay Omega

 

[JBFox]

Neutral leaning -1. Reason being, your activity recently has not been the greatest and you've taken quite a few LOAs as well. 

I'd easily give this a +1 if you could prove that you'd be active as Niner by being more active as Darman.

[Arroyo]

+1 good man 

[Comics]

+1 My man has been waiting for his time and it is now. Prove to the whole server that you're the ultimate niner

[Lucifer]

+1

[Rackarain]

+1 big meme inside 212th discord

[wicked]

+1

[Craigary]

+1 better applicant.

[Prophet]

+1 You and a couple others helped me a lot when I got in the 212th

[Draugr]

+1 This man has too much positive history in leadership, not to be Niner. If it was up to me, he would be Niner already.

[Eclipse]

+1

Turbine is a good boy and I always felt inspired by him BUT

you are good meme and also you kind of my dad. I see what you've done, and I see what you can do. I know you'll do great chief. If it gets denied then big oof but I hope it gets accepted.

[Pythin]

+1 both gucci candidates

[Baelfire]

Neutral is my vote. 

Here is why I am just going to base this on past experience. Whenever I saw you, you spent most your time in the 212th channel or afk in a corner rarely working with omega squad in a whole. Now keep in mind I was not on ALL the time so there may have been times you did. But I never saw it so that is what I'm basing this off of.

Now for good In my eyes you would make a great Squad Lead. That on top of the fact that you claim you will help squash minginess. You have more then ample experience to fulfill your duty in this role. You also have the connection with the squad that is needed.

All you did for the last couple of weeks was log on and afk almost 24/7

-1 from me chief

[Sixta]

If you can increase your activity you'll be good, 

+1

[Striker]

+1
Whisper is an amazing boyo, he is always a good meme. But Whisper can also be strict when he needs to be. Under Perri and myself in the 212th Whisper was always there being strict and enforcing good discipline. However, for those who are making points of activity I would like to remind you that this man is in a completely different time zone. Only up until recently did he start to hang around more within the 212th, which is understandable since most of his squad is eastern and he likes to have a good meme and hang around his 212th boys when they might not necessarily be around. There is nothing bad against hanging out with old friends. On top of that, multiple Omega members have been inclined to hang out more in the 212th channel and socialize with another battalion instead of just SOBDE. The fact that he has that kind of influence over his squad mates is not something that should be over looked.

Tldr;

Can be strict when he needs to be, different time zone, hanging out with 212th more only recently, and has a good influence on his fellow squad mates.

[Bananaberry]

-1 When I see you for the times we're on at the same time is either afking in either the 212th channel(s) or in the omega office, when not afking you're in the 212th channel and not with the rest of SOBDE. When you were asked if you were going for Niner you were more or less not wanting to, pretty much replying with "meh" or "ehh" and saying you'd probably go back to the 212th. I don't know how you'll run a squad when you just stay in the 212th channel when the other omega members are more active and stay with the rest of the squad.

[miguz]

dew it

+1

[Sanchez]

-1 I never see you on actually I've never interacted with you maybe because I'm not in omega squad but I've had experiences with all of null almost all of SOBDE I'm sorry activity Is a yikes 

[Scribbles]

Neutral. Activity needs to be increased. You're good but you need an activity increase. 

[Pxnda]

-1, You hang out with the 212th more than your own regiment and if it’s true that you’re always having second thoughts to go to 212th, that shows that you’re not fully dedicated to your current position.

[Scarecrow]

From what I am seeing from most of SOBDE here is that you aren't particularly active and that you don't spend time with your squad most of the positive response seems to be from people in the 212th or ATK regiment so that's got to that you have something positive about your character but I feel it's only fair to -1 as SOBDE are the people who would know best in this situation so I'd have to go off what they have said which leaves me with a minus one

[Mitchell]

Your activity has gone from decent to completely gone from week to week, this is not the activity that Omega needs for a squad lead, or quite frankly any battalion. You have the experience and you were entrusted with XO by the previous Niner, but your activity holds you down in my eyes. This is gonna be a -1 from me.

[Tyrone]

-1

 

Never see you on, i dont have much to say due to the minimal encounters we've had.

[Stix]

-1 Your never on and as soon as you apply for Niner you AFK to boost your hours

 

[Quillhan]

I personally don't see you on that often, I think that comes down to us being on at different times. I also know that you are capable for this and could do some good in the position. +1

[Whisper]

Aight, gamers i have made my decision. Void this shit. @Chambers

I have realised that, even if i do get the position, i won't be able to keep up for a whole term. So i will be withdrawing my application. 

[Chambers]
