1. What is your IGN? (In Game Name) :
Diabeto
2. What Regiment are you applying for?
Death Trooper Vice Commander
3. Why do you want to be a commander of this branch?
I’d like to first say, I don’t want people thinking I’m applying just because I’m eligible. Yes, I reached MAJ recently but I believe that I do possess the capabilities and experience to be a Vice Commander within DT.
Over the last year, DT has been like a second family. I have so many memories within the battalion because of all the great people that I have played with. I genuinely enjoy every last minute I spend on the job. It makes it a lot easier when the people you are playing with make the experience better. Shadow, Dylan, Salt, and many more currently in the battalion and previously in, have made my time within DT genuinely enjoyable.
I hope to reach the rank of Vice Commander so I can give back in more ways to the battalion and help it grow. I have plenty of ideas for DT ranging from updating every document, to sub branch changes, to boosting the overall morale and well being of DT. DT has given me so much during my time here and I would like to put all my effort into giving back to those people who have made my time within the battalion amazing.
4. How much game time do you have on the server?
~1450 hours
5. What is the Main Purpose of a commander for a branch?
I have stated this many times, and I know many people within DT can attest to this. A Commander leads by example. People respond better to action rather than yelling out orders. There is a time to be silly and goof around, this is how you build bonds between members however, you also have to have their respect and know when it's time to crack down and get serious.
Commanders have to make the hard decisions within the battalion such as removals and changes. They have to shape a path in order to let the battalion grow. I can say that I’ve been pretty close with all my Command teams throughout my time on the server, and I can see how much they need to keep track of. Personally, I speak with Shadow a lot. I can see that he is in need of help on the administrative side of DT. I’d like to be the person to help alleviate the workload and work closely with him on farthing DT’s development.
A Commander's job is also to maintain cross battalion relations. Without cross battalion relations, the entire server falls as a whole. Command teams are supposed to work closely with one another to maintain these relations. Ways to improve these relations can range from activities such as SIMs to special operations missions. Recently, I’ve been having a great time with Storm. I feel that the mutual respect between the Storm and DT has improved over the last little while and I hope that we can recreate this with other battalions..
In all, a Commander must lead by example, being understanding and approachable but know when to crack down and get serious. They must be able to make the hard decisions for the betterment of the battalion. And lastly, they must try to maintain the relations between other battalions to further expand growth as a community.
6. Why should we trust you to be a commander? :
I believe I have proven to be a capable and trustworthy member of the server. I don’t believe (please call me out if I’m wrong) I have ever done anything on the server to break anyone's trust. I always keep my promises and am always vocal about my opinions. I also have a lot of previous experience in leadership positions such as: Purge Brawler Junior Lead, IC Maroon (the first), IC Omega squad (Darman, Attin and Fi - Omega Squad Vice Lead), IC VCMDR Scorch, DT M36 (now my second time) and DT F16. I was also a member of both the staff team and GM team for a period of 6 months.
7. How often can you be Online? :
Since my work schedule has improved, I am able to be on almost every night between 7-12 pm EST.
8. Do you have any Warnings? (What for?) :
I have never received a warning or ban

Important Notes
Mid July until end August I went really inactive for a multitude of reasons. Those reasons included work, moving into an apartment for the first time and other personal reasons. I never lost my love for GL and still did work in the back group such as updating the IC Demolitions SOP, IC Demolitions Tryout Guide, IC Sniper Tryout Guide, the entirety of the IC Hacking Guide, the IC Project Omega SOP and the IC Omega Selections. I unfortunately didn't have much time to be on the server physically which resulted in me eventually being demoted to MAJ for inactivity and missing monthly quota. I was honestly pretty sad about it as I had worked hard to get to where I was. But I knew that I'd eventually be back and work my way back up.

Diabeto's Resignation
07/05/23
During what some call the "spring cleaning event" I had a lot going on in my personal life. I was moving again, starting a new job and going through therapy. I decided to go into reserves and got the reserve rank of 1LT. I promised I would return...

After a few messages from Shadow and some time on the server, I decided I would make my return. I made my announcement (unbeknownst to Shadow) during a debrief. I'm pretty sure I caught a lot of people off guard with that.
