Promotions will never exceed more than one rank increase at a time.
Only company officers may request promotions for members within their own company.
Enlisted men will not nag, harass or otherwise excessively bother their Company Commanders, Platoon Leaders or Platoon Sergeants for promotions. Doing so may lead to demerits or demotion.
Officers will not nag, harass or otherwise excessively bother their Command Staff for promotions. Doing so may lead to demerits or demotion.
MEETINGS: Absolutely necessary to keep good communication between CO's and company members.
All company commanders and Platoon Leaders must have roll call and meet once a week either in AIM or GameSpy chat. Meetings should be informative and of value to members of the company. It is entirely the responsibility of the commanding officers to have their men attend. Those who are chronically absent from your meetings should be dealt with accordingly – demerits and or demotion.
If the Company Commander cannot attend the meeting for whatever reason the XO or ranking Platoon Leader must cover for him/her. Meetings must be validated by a simple e-mail to the Commanding Officer, letting he/she know the approximate time and date the meeting occurred. Meeting activities will be monitored. Those who fail to comply will simply be relieved of command and replaced with someone better suited for the task.
Officers of the unit will attend a Commander's Call once a week. This will be via AIM or GameSpy chat
INACTIVITY: "Inactive" is defined as having no contact with the message board, company's CO, Platoon Leader, Platoon Sergeant or Unit Commander; this also includes lack of game-play activity.
Clan members who are inactive for more than two weeks are placed into the "inactive" roster and date stamped. If inactive for two weeks following the date stamp, dismissal may occur at the CO or Company Commander's discretion.
Inactive that are dropped retain no rank but may reapply as a Private.
