Experience -

Coruscant Guard - Specialist to Commander

So throughout my time in the community I've spent most of it in the shoes of the Coruscant Guard I personally would consider this my first battalion however I was in the 212th Attack Battalion to start my career off in the community. I've had my ups, I've had my downs throughout this battalion but mainly I've stuck to this battalion like glue and demonstrated both dedication and determination while moving up the chain of command. For me personally this battalion was a place which I considered home, somewhere where I both felt welcome and accepted. Overall I found my place within the community and now I've achieved a High Command position within the battalion I'm passionate about. I'll list numerous accomplishments I've gone through my time within the Coruscant Guard.

• Current Intel Director
• Previous Drill Director
• Previous Tracker Lead
• Current Specialisation Overseer
• Current Commander Thire

These are a majority of the positions I've held within the battalion, it helped me understand how the battalion operated and overall gave me the necessary experience in order to work my way up and correctly adjust to every new position I was handed. It helped me understand the balance between being strict and being lenient with people and furthermore helped me understand how to approach a wide range of situations.

Naval - Naval Recruit to Sub Lieutenant

When I joined Naval to be honest I didn't know what to expect however this battalion allowed me to develop my RP abilities and create situations where various people throughout the community can enjoy. I've learned how to lead from and advisory perspective, navigate and balance my time between both Naval and my Clone and understanding when I need to delegate my time when each area is in need. Overall I've had fun, naval has taught me how to lead in a different perspective, actually roleplay more effectively and overall how to enjoy the server and engage with the community in a different light. These are some of the positions I've held in Naval.

• Junior Officer
• Intel Director

Even though it is small work, I've found the admin-side of things to be one of my strengths and I've been able to balance two Intel Director positions without any hassle. Furthermore I've had fun working as a Junior Officer and engaging with both other battalions and those within my own battalion, how to assess people and their potential within the battalion and provide one to one conversations when needed. 

 

Why should you become a Battalion Commander -

Dedication - In any position I've been placed I will always maintain quality over quantity and I hate to back away from a challenge, I thrive under stress and overall I will give it my best shot no matter what. For me becoming a Battalion Commander is doing something I've been doing like now, however adding onto those responsibilities and overall ensuring that the battalion maintains a professional, fun and lively standard. From Intel Director to Commander any position I am in, I will always give it my all and I rarely slack off even if I'm burned out, I accepted the terms of those positions and I accept the terms of this one as well. 

Determination - I am able to motivate myself and I would say I am able to motivate others around me, I like to get the job done and in order to do that you need to be able to motivate yourself and those around you. When you are implementing ideas you need everybody to be onboard and in order for that you need to be determined in anything you plan to do. It also important that you're able to spread that determination throughout the team so as stated previously, that they're onboard and that everything can go smoothly. Once again running a battalion is running a team and if one person slacks behind you need to be able to motivate them to keep the train moving.

Directness - You need to be direct, so clear, concise and straight to the point with matters. You need to be able to get things done and in order to do this sometimes a brute-force approach works wonders. I don't mean this by being strict, but I mean by being direct with any decision you wish to make. Similar to being transparent, you need to lay your ideas on thee table, describe them and encourage those around you to get onboard with them. Furthermore being direct is always is being able to admit to mistakes and asking for help, if you're struggling you should not hesitate to ask for help as being direct is also not being afraid to reach for a hand.

Distribution - Even though you're the head of your ship, you also need to give people jobs on the ship as if you bundle everything to yourself you're going to burn out and sink. For me it is being able to establish that trust and respect between me and the rest of High Command and even the Senior Officers. Ensuring that everyone is able to jump on ship and work together in order to succeed, even though its your vision it is also their vision as well and being able to distribute work is key. Distribution is sharing, but it is also being able to notice people's potential and their flaws and assigning them pieces of work where they can thrive.

Dynamic - Finally being dynamic is essential, you need to show your personality and character. In the end of the day, you need to be active and engaged in the battalion showing that you personality so people can engage and talk to you about matters. Being dynamic is being approachable, which makes it easier for people to talk to you about problems and encourages these one on one conversations in order to benefit both yourself but most importantly them and your battalion. You're a friendly face and as the head your battalion you need to be dynamic as you're the person representing the battalion, you're the one people will be seeing everyday and you're the one who is going to be encouraging people to join and stay.

Overall to me these are essential in any Battalion Commander and I am able to provide these skills and traits, this is me in the end of the day and it is something that I can bring to the role of Battalion Commander Fox. The five Ds, when saying that it doesn't sound that brilliant but I guess it will do.

 

Do you understand the lore of your battalion or squad -

Well the Coruscant Guard were said to have been born and bred on Coruscant instead of Kamino , they were heavily loyal to the Senate and provided law enforcement duties throughout the capital along-side other places. Their duties could be similar to that of a Military Police Officer, from dealing with HVTs, escorting senators and providing a presence to disperse riots. They were lead by Battalion Commander Fox, along-side other notable members like Stone and Thorn.

Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay -  456:22:25

Do you have a microphone - Yes

Where do you want your battalion or squad to be at the end of your term?:

To hit this topic off, I would like to address that for me personally it is about maintaining and improving on the standard the previous Fox has made, but also making my own footprint onto the battalion where it benefits the battalion heavily and ensures that there is something fresh about it.

Officer Corp - Personally I wish to be looking into the battalion heavily, focus inside the battalion itself and ensure that those within the battalion are having fun, are professional and overall are able to enjoy their time within the Coruscant Guard. For me to this I am looking at an active, dynamic and diverse Officer Corp to ensure that every time zone is covered, that they are approachable and overall that they represent themselves and the battalion well in that position. 

Solution - I will be looking at being in regular contact with the Regimental and in order to assess officers within the battalion I will be creating a form which people are able to anonymously input their issues with the entire Officer Corp including the Battalion Commander. The edit access of this form and the responses will be given to the Regimental and I will ensure that I am unable to see it, in other words make it so only certain people can see the link. For me this adds a safe haven for the entire battalion when making both complaints and suggestions about the battalion, especially those specifically in the Officer Corp. This feedback will be collected throughout the week and then ideally I would receive a bi-weekly report on what can be changed and improved on from the Specialised Regimental.

Inner Battalion Focus - At the moment we've been focused on public relations and the job which has been done to establish a positive reputation has been staggering, now that work has been done I would look at assigning either a Commander or the Executive Officer to maintain that standard and ensure that battalion are able to provide that feedback so we're able to improve. However for me now, I wish to focus mainly on the battalion itself and ensure that we're maintaining and improving those standards, ensuring that people are able to talk to me and any of my High Command on a one to one basis regarding any matter. Furthermore I want to start engaging with the battalion on a fun level, keeping up with Game Night and ensure that when the battalion is on the server they look forward to it.

Solution - For me it will be to maintain and ensure that Game Night is regular, to allow people to let off steam and enjoy themselves, develop relations throughout the battalion because in the end of the day making friends within the battalion just makes playing on the server more fun. Ensuring that people have an outlet to have one on one meetings, by once again establishing a dynamic Officer Corp and that they're outlets for any member of the battalion to use. This could be making it so any High Command, Officer DM's are always open, ensuring that meeting request channel in discord is pushed so that this can be about any matter. Overall, developing a system and relationship within the entire battalion where people are able to state their opinions and share their frustrations about the battalion, or even the community itself.

Activity - This can always be a tricky one, especially since its summer however I want to ensure that both Enlisted and Officer are active when on the server, so that people are able to contact the necessary people regarding issues and furthermore that CG have a presence on the server. To me this is simple and I've already mentioned the issues and fixes above, however its about establishing a dynamic Officer Corp and ensuring that people are having fun inside the battalion. The server and CG shouldn't feel like a chore and creating a positive environment for people to enjoy is vital in my eyes to maintain activity.

Solution - As stated, having an active Officer Corp so that any good work they are doing can be noticed, furthermore ensuring that game nights are continuously run to establish bonds within and outside the battalion. Also finding the correct balance between strict and lenient in regards to punishments, as there is a correct way to punish someone and sometimes you have to let issues go, if a mistake happens they should not be criticised with it. For me its finding that balance and talking to the battalion in regular meetings, seeing what is wrong with the battalion and looking at ways we can improve our core systems. If you punish people to harshly they'll just leave, if you're too lenient then they'll just walk over you, I believe that I can get the balance right so it doesn't discourage any members.

Honestly for me its about improving the battalion and myself, being able to take feedback and using that to build on the foundation which has been left. If we're not able to take feedback and improve on it, what's the point. For me I am open to feedback and will always ensure that my door is open and that any Officer's door is open.

Never heard of this sort of behaviour. I've always had a great time around him and he never seems to do anything wrong. 

Whoever you've heard this from is flat out wrong

[Keo]

Void is very nice and approachable. While the other applicants are also nice people I think void is the only officer in the battalion that is active enough and has the biggest amount of support from his troops.

CG seems to have a problem with active officers in the battalion and I believe Void can fix the problem as well as lead by example.

+1

[Dr_Zynth]

+1 from my time with void he is every single one of these things he listed and is fully capable of running CG.

[Jack]

+1 good guy

[40Ninjaman]

+1 oi Idc I'm not in the server anymore void here was one of the CG I talked to the most during my time in DU hes got a great head on his soldiers. He can be a bit goofy and make a lot of jokes, but he does it the right way. He dedicated to what he does.

 

Also on a serious note since I got that connection to you NOW CAN I COME INTO CG DISCORD?????

[Inosuke]

+1, good luck!

[Maverick]

Dennis is free to have his own opinion, especially on a diverse server with 200+ people on daily throughout the day. I also disagree with Dennis here but I dont go mass-dumbing him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For @Dreck:

During Centurion's term as Fox, you were on of the CG that I saw on a lot, so activity and dedication are set.

Ever since CG came into the Specialized, all that I've gotten from you and the rest of CG is respect and friendliness as a Commander over in DU. Even though we've still only had a couple days of interaction in Discord, my ideas in CG/DS feel welcome and everyone in CG, as well as you, have been understanding and willing to look at new ideas and cooperate together. DU & CG tensions were pretty high, and I'm glad that we could break down those walls and get in each other's Discords, as well as talk in PMs a lot.

 

Overall, all I've seen from Void is dedication and a model CG member, willing to be friendly to other battalions and look at new ideas. However, the hours part is the biggest thing that concerns me. In terms of recent and past BCMDs, they usually clock 800+ hours, whereas you fall just under 500. Hopefully having a little less time on Synergy won't negatively affect you.

 

My opinion: +1

PS, does cool roster/doc stuff. Respect.

[Apple]

+1 you are very active and generally a good person to be around

[Clank]

+1

[Magician]

+1 Goodluck Brudda
