As they said, I have a few things to add.
As a Vice Commander, you are expected to be a leader and be active. From what I know, you haven’t demonstrated these qualities. A leader should help out their troopers; your goal is to ensure they understand everything they need to know. A leader is expected to be active in their battalions, hosting tryouts, starting roleplay, and giving members of SF and other battalions things to do.
From what I’ve seen, you have taken more LOAs than I have in my career, and other commanders could probably say the same. When you are not on LOA, I don’t see you on or you seem to be standing in SHB doing something else. As the leader of an entire battalion, you should be guiding it to success through tryouts, simulations, missions, and engaging in lots of roleplay. Since Steve left, I have seen little progress; I hoped for a step up in command, but a Senior Commander who is mainly overseeing and assisting the battalion is bringing in more members than your entire officer team.
No disrespect to you or your officers, but as of now, I do not see you fit for Vice Commander. However, that can change.
I suggest learning from the Senior Commander about recruitment methods, roleplay ideas, and following his lead in reviving the battalion. I would love to see you assist him in coming up with some exciting initiatives. As a Sub-Branch Leader, you are expected to generate more roleplay within your sub-branch and bring forth new ideas.
I believe you should engage all the new members in Onyx and work to expand your sub-branch. Take ideas from your peers and the members you command. Seek advice and input, and don’t wait for them to come to you.
Once I see advancement and you stepping up, I will be glad to support you in your lead to Vice Commander. But at this time, I do not see you fit.
