What is your Ingame name? 501st Phase Zero SSGT PZ23 What is your SteamID? STEAM_0:1:179702578 How Long Have You Been In 501st? I have been a part of the 501st for a while, I have left and rejoined throughout the 4 years I've been a part of Gaminglight. Recently I have been within 501st for 1 month or so. Why Do You Want to Become an Officer? [100+ Words] I want to become a 501st officer to help the battalion run smoother, I see a lot of officers tend to get on then hop off the server quickly. This causes the enlisted and NCOs to get off as well, I wish to join the officer core to help out other officers with ideas on how to improve the battalion as well as ideas for sims to do to hopefully keep more enlisted on the server as well as hopefully collab with other battalions to hopefully get some more new members within the 501st battalion. I want to become an officer to help keep any minging or disrespect from the 501st down to a minimal by giving out disciplinary actions if needed as long as I'm given proper evidence for each situation. I can say some NCO's did NOT receive the proper training they needed in order to become an NCO, nothing against the NCO's but most never got the full proper training they required such as a tryout hosting or taught how to handle an issue whenever an enlisted would act up, most NCO's have not been trained on how to handle these situations whenever they may occur. It's also caught my eye a lot of the NCOs don't fully know or understand how much of an influence they have on troopers, as an officer I would like to make sure I helped teach the NCO's while they worked their way up on how to become an officer and to help hone their leadership skills in case they need to take over if an officer is not online. This is an important step in case they wish to also one day become an officer like me How could you assist the 501st Command with this rank? [75+ Words] I would assist the 501st Command team with the officer rank by helping with coming up with several sims a week to try and keep the 501st busy throughout the day! I would also make sure to hand out promotions of my own to troopers I feel like deserve them. I would also become more involved with each of the sub-branches such as Phase Zero, jump troopers, Heavies and ARC to see where they need to improve on, what they may need changed or what they feel like could help them out. If it requires full on changes with loadouts, model changes or buffs I would get as much information as possible and bring it up to the command teams' attention instead of them having to hear about it from several other people at once to avoid any irritation or spam within their discord or team speak inbox. I would also get with each enlisted I may come across and ask them for feedback on how to change or improve the 501st for the better then report it back to command. How many strikes do you have? As of right now I have 0 strikes within the 501st. What Qualifications could you bring to the 501st Officer Team? For qualifications for 501st officer team are as follows: -I'm Active within the community -I'm reliable. -I do my job to the best effort -I know what is expected of me as an officer Have you had any previous experience has an Officer? I have had multiple experiences as an officer. I've been an officer within 501st a couple times before within the past 4 years I've been on the server, I have been a commander within IC in the past. I have been an officer within IC multiple times as well and have done my best to help them out for what they need. What is the purpose/duty of an Officer? 1. Activity- As an officer you must ensure that the enlisted and officer are maintaining a well-rounded activity on the server, make sure to have flag ups happen and keep sims going being on whenever you can to help keep the battalion going. 2. Promotions/punishments- While an officer is online it is their job to make sure that enlisted (and NCO's) are either promoted for their good hard work during events or on ship, recommended for promotion if the officer can't promote or they also must be ready and willing to punish any trooper that may conduct themselves poorly towards any other battalion, such as PTing them or to have the trooper striked or possibly removed. 3. Sims/Trainings- Whenever an officer is online they must make sure to evenly spread out sims and trainings for their troops, this is to make sure they are A: Always having something to do on the server so they aren't walking around bored out of their mind or getting off reducing activity and B: the trainings could help increase the skill the 501st have to increase their enjoyment within the server. 4. NCO training- While you are an officer you are also required to help any newly made NCO figure out what to do such as making sur they are tryout certified, an office must make sure they are doing it properly and by the doc so that the person joining has earned the role within the battalion. Officer should go through and let the NCO know what is expected of them and to explain how to handle certain situations in each aspect and when to seek out guidance from an officer. 501st MAJ+ Approval: Jimmy/Hammer Hanjo/Stec

What is your In Game Name? Arc MSGT Suki 08 What is your SteamID? STEAM_0:1:179702578 How Long Have You Been In 501st? Most recently I have been in 501st for about 4-5 weeks, however I've been on the server for almost 3-4 years and have been in 501st throughout the majority of my time on the server. Why Do You Want to Become an Officer? [100+ Words] I wish to become an officer within the 501st for several reasons which I will list below so it is easier to understand and read for everyone. Reason 1: Discipline/professionalism- I have been back in 501st for about 4-5 weeks now and from what I can see from the troopers and other NCO's is that 501st has seem to lose its since of self-discipline, I'm not trying to make the battalion sound bad or anything, but some people have begun to stoop down become toxic to one another. I wish to become an officer so I can help teach the NCO and enlisted how to handle situations, I also would like to deal with any kind of toxic trooper who may end up being disrespectful or toxic towards another battalion. As an officer it would be my job to help communicate not only within the battalion but with others as well. I would do trainings and sims to help increase communication and patience for the 501st. Do PT for any trooper that wouldn't wish to listen or minges while on the job. Reason 2: Activity- I understand the server as a whole isn't as active as it used to be, however I feel as an officer my job would be to get people online and get people active, that being said as an officer I would make sure to host sims, not just pvp or parkour sims, but I would mainly aim to host entire missions for the 501st. I would give each subclass a role in these missions to ensure everyone enjoyed the sim/mission. I would also host trainings to make sure people were never going too long without something to do on the server. I would encourage flag ups whenever a event is about to happen and promote troopers who do exceptionally well within them, as well if I see a trooper doing a good job overall for the battalion to give them a shoutout so that they know they are doing a good job, cause at the end of the day everyone wants to be recognized for their hard work. Reason 3: Trainings/Leadership- As I went through the NCO ranks as I am currently a MSGT, I can say some NCO's did NOT receive the proper training they needed in order to become an NCO, nothing against the NCO's but most never got the full proper training they required such as a tryout hosting or taught how to handle an issue whenever an enlisted would act up, most NCO's have not been trained on how to handle these situations whenever they may occur. It's also caught my eye a lot of the NCOs don't fully know or understand how much of an influence they have on troopers, as an officer I would like to make sure I helped teach the NCO's while they worked their way up on how to become an officer and to help hone their leadership skills in case they need to take over if an officer is not online. This is an important step in case they wish to also one day become an officer like me. How could you assist the 501st Command with this rank? [75+ Words] There are a multitude of ways to help command as an officer regardless of the rank within the officer core. 1. Documents- While you are an officer more or less you will end up being an AL or Lead of a sub-branch such as Heavy, JT, ARC or Phase Zero. While in this position I would help the command team by looking over the documents of each sub-branch tryout and SOP to help recommend some additions or removals to ensure the person trying out is fit for the spot or so that the person in the branch knows exactly what to do in a circumstance in case a higher up is not on. 2. Handling troopers- 501st Command gets pinged a lot by other troopers and officers from other sub-branches about enlisted or NCOs who may not being conducting themselves to the imperial standard, as an officer I would encourage others to come to me with an issue, as an officer I can PT or talk to the trooper and see why they may be conducting themselves in a poor manner for it to be brought up to command. I would make sure to gather all the info from not only the other troopers side but as well as the 501st troopers' side to make sure command or myself can make a good decision on what the best course of action should be. How many strikes do you have? As of right now I have 0 strikes within 501st as far as I have been made aware of What Qualifications could you bring to the 501st Officer Team? My qualifications as an officer can be summed up short: I have had loads of experience as an officer on GL, I have been an officer in IC more times than I can count as well as I have had experience within command as well, being ex IC VCMDR Sev and IC CMDR Boss, I understand the role and responsibilities of being an officer within the 501st. I am willing to do as much for the 501st to help it get back on its feet, I can keep my calm while under stressful situations as well as talk to anyone that may have an issue or concern about the 501st. Have you had any previous experience has an Officer? As stated above in the previous question I have had a lot of experience as an officer: 1. IC- When I first joined the serve I was an officer in IC a long time before reaching IC VCMDR sev then moving on to IC CMDR Boss. Ever since then I have come back to IC and on many occasions I have gotten up into the officer ranks and helped host sims and tryouts. What is the purpose/duty of an Officer?: As state a little bit in the question previously in the application the purpose and duty of an officer is a lot: 1. Activity- As an officer you must ensure that the enlisted and officer are maintaining a well-rounded activity on the server, make sure to have flag ups happen and keep sims going being on whenever you can to help keep the battalion going. 2. Promotions/punishments- While an officer is online it is their job to make sure that enlisted (and NCO's) are either promoted for their good hard work during events or on ship, recommended for promotion if the officer can't promote or they also must be ready and willing to punish any trooper that may conduct themselves poorly towards any other battalion, such as PTing them or bringing it up to a MAJ+ to have the trooper striked or possibly removed. 3. Sims/Trainings- Whenever an officer is online they must make sure to evenly spread out sims and trainings for their troops, this is to make sure they are A: Always having something to do on the server so they aren't walking around bored out of their mind or getting off reducing activity and B: the trainings could help increase the skill the 501st have to increase their enjoyment within the server. 4. NCO training- While you are an officer you are also required to help any newly made NCO figure out what to do such as making sur they are tryout certified, an office must make sure they are doing it properly and by the doc so that the person joining has earned the role within the battalion. Officer should go through and let the NCO know what is expected of them and to explain how to handle certain situations in each aspect and when to seek out guidance from an officer.

What is your in-game name? 501st JTO CSM Haak ARC05 What is your SteamID? STEAM_0:0:120861894 How Long Have You Been In The 501st? November 2nd, 2021 Why Do You Want to Become an Officer? [100+ Words] The reason i want to be an officer in the 501st is 1.) Because I feel like right now 501st is looking for roles of leadership in the battalion, and I feel like we are lacking in that department. 2.) As Lucy mentioned in her application, not many 501st officers are very active within 501st due to school and the holidays coming up, so I feel like I can be more active because of the upcoming break and not much stress because we are entering a new semester. 3.) I feel like being an officer in the 501st will make my experience on the server more fun being able to host sims and have more fun with the battalion! How could you assist the 501st Command with this rank? [75+ Words] I have some great ideas for the 501st; I think that we should host more sims and not just sit around inactive except for when there are missions, I play mostly every day so I can be active and have a lot of fun with the battalion and maybe include other battalions as well! Recently after Nebel's departure I feel that people in the 501st have not been having as much fun and I think as an officer i could help bring that light back into the 501st. How many strikes do you have? 0 strikes. What qualifications would you bring to the 501st Officer Team? I have some experience in the server and as an officer, so i think that would help me in knowing what people would want and how to make everyone have a good time. Have you had any previous experience as an officer? I have previously been a Havoc Officer (kinda, I left the day i got officer) What is the purpose or duty of an officer? Officers are like when the teacher tells you "you're in 8th grade, the 6th graders look up to you"; officers show everyone on gaminglight what 501st is like and that 501st is fun and active. Officers are the 8th graders of the ISD.

What is your in-game name? 501st SHVY MSG Katie ARCT15 What is your SteamID? STEAM_0:1:540378212 How Long Have You Been In The 501st? November 9th, 2021 Why Do You Want to Become an Officer? [100+ Words] One major reason I want to become an officer in the 501st is that I feel like a good number of 501st officers are not consistently active, and with school that's understandable, but we need officers online that can host simulations, tryouts, whitelist troopers, and be a leader of the battalion when no 501st command is online. I’ve also been an officer a few times before and succeeded well. The first time I was an officer, it was a bumpy road, I admit, but that’s in the past now and I have a clean slate to start fresh and have greatly improved on myself. How could you assist the 501st Command with this rank? [75+ Words] Bring recommendations and ideas to the command team on how they can improve the battalion. as well as, in a polite way, giving constructive criticism to any of the command members on how to improve themselves. Currently, I see no issues with our command team in the 501st and believe they are all doing their best in order to keep the 501st an active and happy battalion. Command can always use a helping hand when needed, so when it comes to having officers willing to help, you can count on me anytime. How many strikes do you have? 0 strikes. What qualifications would you bring to the 501st Officer Team? Some qualifications I can bring to the 501st officer team are suggestions and guidance as someone who has been a long-time player. We have a great officer team, and I’d love to work with them as an officer to help out with anything they may need. Have you had any previous experience as an officer? Yes, I’ve had previous experience as a 501st MAJ and ST COL. What is the purpose or duty of an officer? Becoming an officer holds a great amount of responsibility. Part of that is hosting tryouts and simulations to increase the 501st trooper count and giving constructive training to keep those said troopers in check for their best performance. Officers are meant to lead troopers during combat and host PDBs after an event to give out some lovely promotions to those trying their hardest out on the field.

- What is your In-game name?: My in-game names are Doomlam & Dev. - What is your SteamID? STEAM_0:0:89589493 - What is your current rank?: My current rank is First-Sergeant (1SG) - How much time do you currently have on the server?: My current time on the server is 1 week - How long have you been in the 501st?: I have been with the 501st since 07/17/21 - What do you bring to the table as a 501st?: My sociable nature to the enlisted of other factions and the 501st. I like to engage in activities with them and have conversations with them, earning their trust and befriending them. Considering 501st is my main battalion, I dedicate my time on the server to it. My activity is a perk to this. I try my absolute best to get on at least once a day. Considering I finished tech school I will be on a lot more often. Maturity level has a great impact as well, giving the 501st's officers a good look. I do have a stern nature as well. I am not afraid to lay down the law even on the closest of friends. If I am to be an officer, I will do it right. - Why do you want to become an Officer?: I have been told by many other players that I should highly consider applying for a 501st officer position. Considering the 501st is my main battalion, I decided why not give it a shot. This will allow me to become more knowledgeable and accustom to the way things are run. I have room for improvement, and this will help me improve and grow. I would love to dedicate myself to become a leader within my favorite battalion. I have many ideas for training and SIM exercises I have been wanting to try, but recently numbers have been fairly slim. - What is the purpose/duty of an Officer?: The purposes/Duties of an officer consist of upholding the battalion and maintaining integrity. Enforcing those who are out of line. Assist those who require assistance, such as commanders and high authorities. Oversee NCOs and Enlisted activities. Following the rules of the server. Host SIMs on multiple occasions throughout the week. Host tryouts to obtain more enlisted within the battalion. Setting examples for others to follow and look up to. Have a proper mindset and don't lay off assistance. (If an ST is not acquainted with the knowledge that is needed to play on this server, educate them and get them ready for what the server has to offer them.)

- What is your In-game name?: Gustav - What is your SteamID? (Ex. STEAM_0:1:59351617): STEAM_0:0:148216594 - What is your current rank?: 1SG - How much time do you currently have on the server?: 1 week+ - How long have you been in the 501st?: Since 12.07.2021 (Originally joined back in 28.12.2020) - What do you bring to the table as a 501st?: Let me start by saying that, i believe that every 501st officer has brought something unique about themselves, which makes the entire 501st battalion stronger, more stable and overall better. One of the primary things that i can bring is a lot of activity! Ever since I re-joined the 501st on 12/07/2021 I have been on every day from 16:00-05:00 (4pm-6am) with only a few days where i had to be inactive for a single day/couple of hours. Currently there is nothing pointing towards me having less time, so therefore i will be just as active if not even more as an Officer. I also believe i can bring maturity, things like “having fun” will of course happen, but that would be all in good times and always outside/away from any of the roleplaying. I have 0 warns/bans among all gaming light servers which is well reflected on my overall personal behavior. Currently we have a lot of newer 501st PVT´s and surprisingly they have respected and followed every guideline/order that i may have been giving them during roleplay scenarios. I think that all the MSG+ are well respected as i believe we have been able to show that we want to act serious durings events but also are capable of understanding all the members of the 501st no matter rank. - Why do you want to become an Officer?: The 501st has always had its place within me, every time I went on a Star Wars Roleplaying server, I would head to 501st bunks and ask if I could join a tryout. I want to become an Officer, since it's within my ambition and vision. I also want to become an Officer to help the current/future Officers with duties/tasks and other things that they might need help with, if they are offline/unable to help or assist at the time. I want to become an Officer because i could contribute a lot more to the 501st, and also it has just been a goal of mine ever since i first joined. I think that i could improve my leading skills a bit more but after hosting PDB, having the experience of trying to command 3 or more 501st at once, i dont feel its a issue for me at all, if its not at the right level now, it will be in just a short amount of time. - What is the purpose/duty of an Officer?: I believe the duties of an Officer are to make sure that, if someone within the 501st is minging/doing something which is against the 501st rules, then i believe the Officer(s) should report it to a higherup (and follow Chain Of Command while doing so). The Officer should also host tryouts/sims/training and assist NCOs/Enlisted when they need it. I would say that the purpose for the Officer(s) is also to help members of the 501st if they need help. So that they don’t have to contact the high command within 501st instantly with questions any Officer could answer (Chain Of Command). The purpose is also to make notes on who is doing well during events if there is no high up to do it, and should mainly look after the ranks below Officer. I think that Officers overall have to maintain the standards for the 501st - if not try to increase them to a higher level.
