Steam Name: Marion Thorison

RP Name: WPL Executive Officer Comet (Marion)

Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:100795571

Applying For: 104th BCMD Wolffe

 

Experience:

CG: My first experience with SWRP was on Icefuse prior to Synergy's creation. I was a Coruscant Guard who constantly guarded, who I affectionately called with others, AFK Max as Palpatine. I stopped playing right around the rank of SGT due to joining the Navy, and therefore going to boot camp.

91st and GM: I came back to SWRP some time later due to the recommendation of Wolfro, and he pointed me toward Synergy. I joined a 91st in need of help under Buzz. During my time I rose to the rank of Colonel and achieved my first ever lore character, LS lead Razor. I led the squad to the best of my ability, but with the loss of more people and the unfortunate decline of interest in the 91st, it was removed. I immediately joined GM as most battalions were taking 1-1 from the removed 327th and 91st. At the time, Oxen was BCMD and his leadership inspired me to put my best effort into GM, despite my ignorance of how they functioned. It was tough coming into the battalion at such a high rank, but due to the help of the CMDs of GM, I was able to accomplish many goals and trainings. I received all GMACTs, EOD, TECH, bMED, and leadership trainings. I also talked to Shock and they gave me a sort of "police" (can't remember what we called it) training for RP purposes. Due to a lack of mobility because of a full CMD corps and Navy obligations, I resigned after a couple of months.

Shock: I attempted to rejoin later and joined Shock, however real life hit about the time I was a PFC and I had to leave the server again.

501st: Later, I joined a server that Wolfro was trying to start to help him out. I was Captain Rex there, but, as with many startup servers, it didn't last.

104th: Now we get to what I consider my biggest achievements. I joined the server again and Wolfro recommended 104th. Their specialties and reputation I had heard appealed to me, so I joined the 104th in February. I immediately fell in love with the battalion as it had the perfect blend of seriousness and fun, with leadership invested in the battalion and troopers. I joined the JT regiment and quickly rose to SGT, where I began getting more involved in the management of the battalion. I became the JTX for the 104th soon after, and worked with Boost/Rover on recruiting and updating the documents. Around the same time, I joined Intel to assist in logging and monitoring information, as well as got bNEG trained even though it wasn't required yet. As I moved pretty rapidly through the NCO ranks due to the effort put in to the battalion (and not just requirements), I looked for any way to relieve the work load of the High Command of 104th. I got aNEG trained and asked Moros if there was a way to be trained to give bNEG; he obliged and I became the only other person in the battalion other than Moros who could give bNEG training. When our previous WO resigned, I put in an application, and after some time waiting due to logistics and time zones, I was interviewed and accepted. At this time, WO was Tracer and therefore MECHL so I held those responsibilities as well as managing and advising NCOs. I held frequent NCO meetings to address concerns of NCOs, get feedback for the Officer Corps, and correct problems that were creeping into the ranks of our Junior NCOs. During my term I revised and created new docs to train the NCOs with, and these are still being used to great success. As Tracer, I was also a member of Wolfpack and assisted in helping vote on and discuss new possible members into the Squad. After what I was told was an extremely successful WO term, Moros and Scarecrow (now the Spec Reg) saw fit to promote me to the position of LTC. Due to some disagreements between the REGL at the time, as well as a desire to focus on the battalion as a whole, I resigned from JTX and put all of my effort into helping the battalion as a whole. I was promoted to Intel Manager not long after and continued to correct deficiencies in our logging. Moros became Wolffe not long after this, and I continued to help in anyway I could. I talked frequently with him, giving my advice and recommendations where he wanted/needed it. I was then promoted to XO and continued to assist him, helping create new documents, change the way WO works, restructure the Regiments, and create new WP tryouts once I became Comet. Due to some disagreements and misunderstandings, approximately 20 people left the battalion, most of which were SNCOs and Officers. This was a big test and burden on Moros and I, but we have bounced back and are still filling in the gaps left behind with good people. Due to Moros having IRL stuff that made his schedule difficult, I have taken on many responsibilities of the BCMD as XO. These include resolving issues through discussions with the MCMD, Commander Meetings, Battalion Officer Meetings, and Document Review and Approval. I am currently working to maintain the upswing we have seen in numbers and structure, having recently promoted 3 highly qualified individuals to Senior Officers to assist in this.

 

Why Should You Become Battalion Commander?:

I believe I should become Battalion Commander Wolffe because I have and will continue to put in the effort to make the 104th the best it can be. I have put in as much time as possible in making sure the battalion is functioning as efficiently as possible in every aspect, and that time should go up as I am soon separating from the Navy. Even as an NCO, my first priority has always been the battalion and the troopers. I've loved being a part of 104th since I joined, and I want everyone who joins to get the same opportunity to experience it as I did. I believe my extensive discussions with Scarecrow, Moros, and even Slate have allowed me to become better than I ever could've been and to understand many different types of leadership and decision making processes. I have many ideas and ongoing changes that I will be even more able to control and guide as BCMD. Being in the Navy has given me many trainings on ways to approach different situations, and I always try to be diplomatic and reasonable in discussions, whether in or out of the battalion. I'm organized, and a bit OCD about logging and documents, which I believe can help clean up some clutter in our process. I am also willing to make decisions that some people might not agree with, but that I know will benefit the battalion, which is something that I think we desperately need in our current state.

 

Availability:

I currently am in the process of separating from the Navy as I've stated, but I am able to be on nearly every evening. I am Eastern Standard Time, and usually get off of work between 330 and 5 pm. Even when I am not one, I quickly respond to any Discord messages using my phone (when not at work of course). I will be having to find a new job when I leave the Navy, so these times may be subject to change; however, I will still make every effort to keep my activity where it should be.

 

Estimate Of Time On Server:

WPL Executive Officer Comet has played for 786:26:00.

 

 

Do You Have A Microphone?:

Yes.

 

Where Do You Want Your Battalion At The End Of Your Term?:

By the end of my term, I want the battalion to be as self-sufficient and smooth running as possible. I already have plans and action in place to consolidate documents and rework certain processes. I have talked with Zeik and Rerb about having the 104th interact more with 41st and BO, and I hope to extend that to other battalions as well. We are still recovering from the fallout of the mass exodus of people, and I intend to have every major position filled very quickly. I would like to see a thriving WP that is something to look up to on the server. I want the Officer Corps to be given more responsibility and defined expectations, so that they can do many things that they currently can't when High Command isn't on. I expect to have most of my goals in place within a month or so, with the rest of my term spent working out the kinks and promoting an enjoyable, friendly atmosphere in the battalion.

 

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 I do.

Pretty level headed in situations that had to be taken on when I was trying to help you and moros. You should do fine.

+1 I have known this gentleman a long time and I love the 104th so 2 n 2 make 1 :).  Through his actions up to this point and his continued service to the 104th I believe he would be an excellent choice for BCMD if given the chance.  Through thick and thin he can dig in and support and lead.  Which any battalion needs in leadership.

Ok so from my understanding and what I saw in  104th when I was in, Is that you weren’t doing a lot and weren’t on and got handed XO, there were plenty of other people up for comet but you were given the title and didn’t do anything with it, I rarely saw you on the server up until the previous Wolffe resigned. And For these reasons I’m out.

                                      -Neutral-

GL tho!

You were in the battalion for 3 days as an officer transfer. In that entire time I didn't see you once. And you didn't do a single thing for the battalion. After this you left because your friends did the same. He's done a whole lot more for the battalion than you realize, and a whole lot more than others want to admit.

Thanks, but there are a few things I would like to clear up. There weren't many people up for Comet, if any, based on Moros's statements. As for not doing a lot, much of what I did was management and behind the scenes: creating/managing documents, advising Moros and giving him feedback when he asked for those, Intel, etc.  I will admit I didn't spend a ton of time in server at that point, but that was because I was mostly doing document work, discord work, and meetings. In terms of not doing anything with Comet, I don't think that is a fair assessment since you and others left 1 day into me having it, and I have since added WP members and redefined their roles. I want to clarify that this post is not negative or anything, I just wanted to clear things up since I do believe their is some misinformation out there.

Why do always comment on things when you have next to involvement with the situation you joined the battalion and left two days later and to comment on the comet thing there was two people up for it both were good candidates but one already had a lot of responsibility and would of had to give that up in order to receive the position which is something that they did not want to do so the position was then given to Marion and as for the didn't do anything for it YOU WERE NOT IN THE BATTALION FOR LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW THE WORK THAT HE PUT IN THE PAST which he did tonnes of infrastructure work as Warrant Officer lots of work with the NCO's he was part of wolf pack as Tracer he did a lot so please if you don't know what the situation really was please don't put a comment based on 3rd party rumours.
