Additional Information
1. Leader of National Guard.
2. Why do you want to be a leader of this specific organization? (List three reasons with an explanation).
Reason 1: I want to bring more professionalism to the role and run the NG more like a actual military where rank titles are used and the roleplay aspect is further explored so members more embody their characters, their roles and learn the elements of leadership, respect and dedication.
For example first names will only be allowed in Non-RP Chat or private one to one voice interactions.
Over the radio military protocol will be followed meaning ranks and surnames will be used exclusively with "Sir or Ma'am." being used in one to one interactions with a superior with said superior addressing lower ranks as "Mister."
Reason 2: I wish to restore the balance between having fun and being serious is clear cut unlike now where the two blend to the point mistakes happen because the base elements and boundaries haven't been established.
So with that in mind I intend to use the buddy system which will see more experienced members being assigned to assist new members with learning the rules and regulations rather than just saying "Here's a gun now go stand at the gate."
Doing this with allow for better utilisation of the NCO ranks aswell as help identify those who have the leadership qualities necessary to be Heads of Department and Field Commanders.
Reason 3: Two of previous leaders (Current Leader not being one) while being poles apart, have lacked the ability to fully unite every member of the org to where petty squabbles and disagreements cannot fully be sorted to where each person(s) feels like they have been listened to or fully understood to the point where while the outcome may not have always gone their way, the outcome has been one that they can atleast accept even if they don't fully agree with.
I feel I have the leadership skills to do that and would like the opportunity to try.
3. Your advice for improving the RolePlay level in the organization.
The first way I would improve the RP level within the NG is by removing the notion that High Command are always right and that disagreeing with them is disrespectful like it has been in two of the previous terms (Current one exempt).
I also want any member of the NG to feel confident enough to make a suggestion without it being ignored because of their rank or newness to Grand RP in general meaning any previous experience from outside of Grand they have will be taken into account rather than dismissed.
Furthermore I would like all members of the NG to feel confident enough to use said previous experience to assist other members thus showing their leadership abilities.
Lastly I want to fully establish the difference between Command level and High Command Level and as such I intend to use the following rank structure.
=====High Command=====
The rule creators and decision makers.
General - Rank 30 the one in overall command of the National Guard.
Lt. General - Rank 29 the second in overall command sharing the day to day running of the National Guard.
Major General - Rank 28 acting as the curators of the various departments while taking overall command when necessary.
Brigadier - Rank 27 acting as the main go between the Officers and High Command aswell as leading the National Guard when those above are not available
=====Officers=====
Field Commanders, Department Heads and Deputies.
26. Colonel
25. Lt. Colonel
24. Major
23. Captain
22. 1st Lieutenant
21. 2nd Lieutenant
=====Warrant Officers=====
Jacks of all trades and future Officers.
20. Chief Warrant Officer 5
19. Chief Warrant Officer 4
18. Chief Warrant Officer 3
17. Chief Warrant Officer 2
16. Warrant Officer 1
======Non-Commissioned Officers======
Trainers and support staff.
NCO-2:
15. Command Sergeant Major
14. Sergeant Major
13. First Sergeant
12. Master Sergeant
NCO-1:
11. Sergeant First Class
10. Staff Sergeant
9. Sergeant
8. Corporal
7. Lance Corporal
======Enlisted======
The Rank and File of the National Guard.
6. Specialist
5. Private First Class
4. Private
======Other======
3. Recruit
2. LOA
1. Suspended
The above rank structure shows a clear divide between the Generals/Brigadier and Officers which will make things easier when requests to speak to High Command are given so that those receiving said requests will know that the person making the request wishes to speak to one of the Generals rather than a Officer who would only be called if the General are busy.
I would also like to draw your attention to the inclusion of the Warrant Officer ranks which to my knowledge have not been used before and will give any Command level member of another Org a place with which they can be put in order to show that the reason they joined was genuine.
It will also show those below that leadership roles are taken seriously aswell as have a place to test any NCO's who express a interest in moving higher and have shown they have the skills and abilities to be a Officer.
Lastly the small number of Enlisted ranks will help to foster dedication to the NG and achieving a high rank is done through hard work and a willingness to go above and beyond.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to review my application.
