Bitter's Captain Gregor Application

[Bitter]

Steam Name: Bitter

RP Name: Boss

RP Rank: XO

Steam ID: STEAM_ 0:0:43580258

Battalion you are applying for: SOBDE

Experience:
 

21st - PVT to MSG
 I joined the server and fell in love with the marine style of RP.  At that time I was under Matra, Qal and Gene. They really showed me the value of hard work towards a battalion. They also started to teach me the basics of GMOD and leadership.
501st - SGM to Captain
After my stint in the 21st I felt like I wanted to go into a more "lore" intensive position and I went to the 501st as I loved all of the characters in the battalion. This was also the first time I had broken through to the officer ranks and got to watch over the regiments. At the time as I was helping the REGL with his things like, manage the individual branches, and revive ones that were starting to die. Going from CSM to 2ndLT was a big jump for me but I was excited for the challenge and wanted to prove my worth to the battalion by helping and advising in any way I could.
21st - PVT to WO and ARCL
I took a 2 year hiatus after 501st as my life had changed around that time and I wanted to focus more on myself and my own happiness at the time. However, after 2 years I had heard of all of the changes that had happened on Synergy and I wanted to come back to reconnect with some old friends. I got into the 21st battalion and started to work on whatever I could get my hands on. There were problems at the time with the ARC program in 21st and I wanted to improve it and make it more well rounded. 
Spec RCMD
I'll be frank here. Most of you will probably know me from my Spec RCMD term as I went from a rando 21st WO to the advisor of four battalions, which were 21st, CG, DU and SOBDE. I stepped into this position with what I thought was a good understanding of what I should do in High Command, but looking back I don't believe I understood what the position truly entailed. I wanted to help my home battalion of 21st and the rest of Spec in anyway I could. Unfortunately I found myself overstepping in areas that I shouldn't have along with making some bad decisions in my term. What this taught me a how to be a good advisor, when I should step in, and how I should go about it. Even though I did not exceed in this position, it showed me many things I needed to improve and how I could go about doing that. If I never had the shot as the Spec RCMD then I would not have improved on my leadership and management skills as much or thoroughly.
SOBDE - PVT to CSM
During my Spec RCMD term I really started to admire the comradery and teamwork that SOBDE all shared between themselves. After my RCMD I moved over to SOBDE and loved the way in which they operated; focusing more on the people and the RP in which they took part in. It took me a while and multiple tries at getting a lore character in SOBDE and I have made many friends inside of the battalion. 
Delta Squad Boss and XO
Getting the position of Boss and the rank of Commander gave me a unique overview into the day to day of the battalion. I started to get even more involved as I now had a group of people that I have had the privilege of learning from, teaching, working with, and seeing where they wanted to take their RP to get it to the next level. I have also helped SOBDE create a new style of tryout that helps pull more focus onto the roleplay aspect of the game.  This has helped to improve multiple different areas of the battalion along with the contributions of the officer core and all of the people in SOBDE.

Why should you become a Battalion Commander?:
 

Dedication
I have found such valuable relationships while being a part of this community and would love to continue that and make it possible for others to do so too. The friends that I have found here are ones that I love spending all day with and exploring our characters to flesh out as much relevant RP as possible. I have become dedicated to this server and all that goes on here. I have a dedication to improving an already great experience. If I can contribute one thing to this position it is my dedication to make this battalion the best that it can be.

Ability to learn and adapt.
I could have left the server after my shameful time as Spec RCMD. However, I found it better to use the experience to my advantage and learn from it. I am human after all and we tend to make mistakes all the time. If we do not learn and adapt from them then they were not worthwhile experiences. I have taken the time to evaluate my mistakes and gain knowledge from them to grow to become a better leader and member of this community. 

Communication
In my time hopping through different battalions and communities I have found that communication is key. From just the day to day operations, to holding things like tryouts and meetings, having great communication is mandatory to ensure that everyone is on the same page, or that there is a way that we can get there. I have a direct communication style which helps me in times when I just need to get something across right away. If I need to communicate something to you, you can know that I will. Without communication nothing works. 

Do you understand the lore of your battalion?: Very well yes.
 

Availability:
 

Most weekdays I'll be around from about 8 am to 9:45 am PST before I go to work and after work around 8 to 9 pm PST
On my weekends which are Sundays and Mondays I am available all day. 
I'm always near my phone, so feel free to DM me whenever.
 

Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?: Somewhere in the ballpark of 1500 to 2000?
 

Do you have a microphone?: Yes 
 

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

ROLEPLAY
At the end of my term I would like to see that I have created enough of a system to experience true Commando Role Play. I want people to come into the battalion and be mentored and tutored in roleplay and to be able to hone their abilities and take what they have learned and apply it to any other battalion and be able to continue to facilitate the roleplay fantastically. 

OUTREACH
I would like to create a genuine outreach program that creates more comradery.  SOBDE has been secretive in the past which has caused a riff in the server with people feeling unwelcome in interacting with this battalion. I would like to open up the communication about this battalion so that people feel allowed to join us and all that we do here at SOBDE. This is a system I would like to continue to improve on with my officer core and the rest of the battalion, until we can truly craft a fantastic system.

Training for Grey RC
Recently a new system has been created in which Grey RC members must prove their worth by showing acts of valor on the battlefield. This system creates an incredible opportunity for Roleplay as these members will come in undesignated and can craft their own characters around what they would like to roleplay. I value this type of training and would love to see it grow. By the end of my term I would like to see that this training has become self sufficient and allows other members of the battalion to mentor new Grey RC members into the characters they have always wanted to be. 

Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?: Yes
 

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

Huge carry for SOBDE

He unironically has been one of the largest mentor's and honestly has a fantastic judgement when it comes to things

Most of this application seems pretty good but no doubt this is the man that I would love see represent SOBDE.

Time for my Delta squad to rise up! 

If there's one thing I learned during my time as Boss it was your pure dedication to RP and how much you really cared for the battalion, you alone was the best person to take up Boss after me and I will never regret that decision. You got this buddy!

 

^One of the best Delta squads.

[Snadvich]

+1 competent 

[Guac]

you were such an amazing figurehead in the battalion when I was BCMD. I could totally rely on your truthful opinion when it came to nearly anything. Good luck Bitter, you deserve it.

At this moment I don't have any specific plans for the Jedi. That can change over time as I may have a few idea for the Jedi of SOBDE.

[Marvel]

+1 Only person I see taking over. It’ll be sad to see you leave Delta tho );

[Spieler]

Bitter is incredibly capable. He's shown so much dedication and passion to his battalion since day one of him becoming CMD. Your plans are very strong, and you've got an incredibly good command and officer corps to back these plans up. You've been in the battalion more than long enough to know what works and what won't, and I'm more than confident that you could implement plans well, as well as realize when to back out if needed. Good luck! I hope that you enjoy the position, or at least get SOBDE to the state that you want. Huge +1.

[Hanz]

+1 Bitter is very great!

[Tinovious]

As a current student in the arts of sociology, I can see that those beneath you conform to you as some sort of "beacon of light", or the type of dude who chants "All stars burn as one!". The type of dude who puts the Grand Army of the Republic and the Galactic Republic's interests above all. A man bred for the pure embodiment of war. A warrior, a lover, a fighter. You value your men but you aren't afraid to send them to their deaths if the mission deems it. Prioritising the ideology and not the simplicity of the galaxy. You probably run into the battlefield, leading by example. Using your Katarn-class armour to sponge all the ordinance that gets thrown at you, Using the helmet as a masquerade to inspire the troops you lead. You probably get all the bitches, all the attention. You walk into 79's and people instantly go quiet, awestruck at your presence! Turning their stomachs into knots. Sorry? What was I talking about? +1 anyway, seems like a cool dude.

Only problem is you won't be able to be as active as Bacta was. So make sure you delegate well.

[Hector]

Clear plan for the battalion and looks like he can execute it well.

[Dennis]

+1 you have the support of your battalion and you have learned from your previous mistakes and have admitted to them best of luck

+1 I can’t quote your app for some reason but at least we’re not pretending anymore. I’m not around anymore but I’m glad to see someone mature enough to at least admit when you slipped up.
