Welcome to Gaia! ::

Err... So... what does this mean?

Essentially, this is the fast track to becoming a Field Commander of Non-Comissioned officer; E-6 or above. You will begin as sergeant, and gain all the respective duties and benefits of being a sergeant. If you want to skip basic progression and want to fast track to being a CO or NCO, a series of requirements will be in order. First, you must pass basic training, pass unit training, and then be excepted into a branch or squad. After this, you may then apply to be in Field Commander Training School. You will be put into a group, whether this is only you or several other people will be directly relevant to your situation, to train and be tested. Things such as basic leader ship skills, basic roleplaying skills, advanced roleplaying skills, and over-all ability to roleplay in coordination with this guild and according to the AMP will be tested. In addition, basic military knowledge, understanding of strategies, leadership skills, responses to situations, and gauges of basic leadership skills and responses to situations. You will also will directly asked to complete a series of questions for a pysch evaluation, this of course which would normally occur over an extended period of time covertly. Personality, motives, overall intelligence, maturity and self control, and mental and emotional stability and responses to questions will be gauged in accordance with actual responses to the questions. Oblique, strange, or otherwise very odd requirements will be imposed as well, to evaluate determination, objective goal achievement abilities, and over-all problem solving abilities. Memory will be tested, although in accordance with the near infinite access to information relevant on the internet, more application will be tested from an individual than wrought memory; this does not mean that in real life however, that you should abstain, avoid, or disregard your ability to remember vital, useful, or even basic information. Memory and conscious, of course, will need to be tested. Following and leadership skills will also be evaluated.

As a general synopsis, your testing will mostly occur with you being expected to preform (roleplay) a series of actions and to achieve certain objectives, some random, some planned, and some systematic and repeated, and the direct evaluation of your progress in coordination with passive traits along the way, ways in which the objective is achieved, and how your over-all mental, emotional, and psychological states are along the way. Along with this will be several seemingly unrelated covert methods of testing and guaging; such as in criminal tests when determining ***** by not gauging what pictures they say they like, but how long they spend looking at each picture, and monitoring eye movements. Rather than simply accepting answers, you will be subjected to several less obvious or subconscious reactions, to determine over-all ability rather than direct responses.

In coordination with this, becuase this is a heavily infantry based guild, you will also be expected to thoroughly understand infantry information; and being an officer, large unit handling, specifically infantry movements, will be vital to to your ability to lead in general. Infantry are heavily exploited in this guild due to the ability to respond, maneuverability, and over-all ability to preform actions in which modern technology has not currently formed applications to do so. A way to think about it is, when fighting people, using people to fight people is usually the best way to go; just people with more protection, intelligence, strength, speed, and firepower. Due to people in general leading the group and being responsible for all the actions presented, learning how to deal with groups of people, and so in this case infantry being primarily people based military groups, will be vital and required of all officers. In addition to this, should you face a situation were you confront a series of people or Infantry units (such as enemies boarding a ship, or being a pilot that has their plane shot down, or a Mechanized unit caught in the open or with their vehicle disabled, or you become a POW), which often times is fairly common in warfare, it will be crucial to understand the basic and advanced strategies of Infantry specific warfare.
