jacobfyfe Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Steam Name: Jacobfyfe RP Name: Jake | Kal RP Rank: Major Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:88765992 Battalion you are applying for: SOBDE Experience: 212th Commander 41st Major SOBDE Major Why should you become a Battalion Commander?: The reason that I believe that I should become BCMD is due to the extensive amount of time and experience that I have within the community. I am someone that has the level of maturity and professionalism that is required of a position of this station and I know that I have the ability to stay level-headed during difficult moments. I also know that I have what it takes to exercise due diligence when making decisions. While I may not have the time on the server that some of my peers do, I make up for it with my ability to consistently be available to help everyone in the community, whether they are in my battalion or not. I believe that I am an approachable individual who is compassionate and understanding. In terms of experience, I feel that my time on the server has led me to gain so much knowledge. When I first started off, I had some prior experience in a leadership role, but Synergy has been a whole different beast. I remember when I was rising through the ranks in the 212th, I encountered some tough situations that I never had to experience before, especially the kind of situations that end up in the hands of HC from time to time. For instance, I remember when we had BvB, 212th seemed like a group of animals that Merril, Guttler, and myself had to wrangle and calm. We promoted simulations and events that focused on PvP and team building to help prepare the battalion for the upcoming fight. It is due to these efforts, I believe, that we ended up having an actual shot at winning, and we in fact ranked quite high. Availability: 24/7 on DIscord In game availability - Monday-Sunday 6PM-12pm Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?: 4 years Do you have a microphone?: Yes By the end of my term, there are four main things that I want to see out of SOBDE. First, I want to ensure that relations are improved between SOBDE and other battalions by promoting greater interaction and joint trainings with other battalions. We are often closed off from the other battalions and don't really engage with them much, which I think is a shame. Second, I want to increase our in game activity by putting great emphasis on PvP and RP-focused SOBDE events. I believe it is important for us to focus on the things that we do best and make sure that we are maintaining our current skill levels. Third, I want to improve the relations between Squad Leads and Squad XOs by providing more freedom and access to the Squad XOs. I want to allow the Squad XOs to have more of a say in things and get more hands-on experience with running things in the battalion. Finally, I want to get people more interested in going for a specific squad, a specific character and not just joining the battalion because they are bored or want a challenge. Too many people have joined recently without knowing where they want to end up in the battalion, to its detriment. Public Relations Throughout my time in SOBDE, it has had its periods of ups and downs. I have noticed that there is a decline in the perception of the battalion to those outside of it. I would like to have SOBDE in a position where it has those positive relations with other battalions and have them view us as a group that the whole server can work with and enjoy their time on the server with. I want to do this by promoting more joining in other battalions during deployments and trainings, whenever possible, and not hiding in our own channel, cut off from the rest of the server’s populace. I feel the best way to do this is by selecting a squad to join up with another battalion during an event/training and have them get to know that battalion and interact with them. Promoting Activity The biggest issue with activity in SOBDE at the moment is that they tend to show up for tryouts but are not really seen outside of that. This is a shame, since the squad is made up of only lore characters and as such, should generally be a more active group. To entice the battalion to be more active, I want to have more PVP-centric activities and more RP focused events for SOBDE and other battalions to promote overall cohesion and activity. Defining Roles Oftentimes in SOBDE the Squad XO doesn't always have the input that they should. Right now, their position is mostly relegated to training to be replacements and not getting to provide much input in the direction the battalion is heading. For such an important position, I believe they should have more say in the battalion's future, both in hearing what is going on and where they want to see it go. But they should also gain more responsibilities since currently 1 sim is not something that takes much time and they can be given more responsibilities. I want to leave them in charge of handling more disciplining actions while still seeking guidance from squad lead since as of late there has become a tinge of elitism taking a resurgence within SOBDE that I feel XO’s could definitely squash as well as hosting tryouts by allowing XO’s to host tryouts after being within a squad for a certain length of time. In the battalion, I believe that it would be advantageous to have our commanders take a step back and take on more of a supervisory role, to help mentor and guide our Squad XOs so that they may one day become Squad Leads themselves. Sometimes, it feels as though some XOs sit in their spot after the Squad Lead leaves to wait and see if they can actually learn what they need to so they can take over the Squad Lead position, which is not how it should be. They should feel comfortable in their training to just assume the role, once it opens, and free up their spot for the next person to take command, learn, and grow. Desire for a Lore Character Recently, we've had a much larger influx of people that want to join SOBDE overall without knowing which direction they want to head in. They attend a difficult trial or are bored and don't care what character they ultimately end up with. This causes problems because they eventually end up seeking positions within other squads that other people are already trying to go for, thus creating strife. I want attendees to seek positions they actually desire, not chase a position out of boredom. I want them to enjoy the group they try for, enjoy the character that they want to be. Right now, I am currently brainstorming ideas on how I can make these changes to the battalion work in a way that makes sense for us, without being too limited. 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 1 1 Report Link to comment
