Jintao's Officer Application

[Jintao]

1. Whats your in-game name and rank: MC IRS MSG Jintao 4211

2: Whats your timezone?: EU, GMT / BST

3: Whats your SteamID?: STEAM_0:1:604467309

4: Why do you want to be a medical officer?: I wish to become a Medical Officer because of a few reasons. To start with, since I have re-joined MC I have noticed a lack of leadership from the Officer ranks. I've seen Keegan, CatBob and Zug all do a great job at commanding, but there has been a shortage of Officers and when they have been online, they haven't always been supporting troopers in the way that I would see fit. By joining the officer team, I would be able to host regular simulations, inspire activity and also allow people to do some more interesting checkups and RP scenarios with my authorisation. I have multiple ideas for trainings and simulations that I could hold for MC that would make very interesting exercises and put our troops to the test. I am also a GM meaning I could prepare some missions that cater towards our MC and evaluate their performance.

Secondly, back when I played a couple of years ago I was also in MC as an officer, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Whilst this part of the answer is a little more selfish, it is true that I really enjoy having the ability to command and lead troopers, partly to help them, and partly to improve my IRL leadership skills. I enjoy RP at its most when I am in the driver seat of a complicated machine, turning all the cogs individually to make the machine work the most efficiently, and this is what being an officer would allow me to do with MC.

Finally, since I have joined MC I have yearned for more responsibility, constantly offering up my services to do trainings, simulations, PT and help with documents where possible. Being an officer would allow me to do all of these things more regularly, and would also allow me to oversee NCOs who were in the same position as me, and evaluate their performance for command. Especially as I am active during EU times, I am able to be on when there isn't many higher rankings on. For example, during an event earlier where I was a SSGT we had 5 MC on, yet I was still the highest rank as a SSGT. Being an officer in this situation would allow me to work on MC more during EU times and improve the branch.

5: Whats your activity like on a scale from 1 to 10: (1 being terrible activity and 10 being on daily for a while): I would say that in terms of activity on the server, I'm a 10, but on MC, 8 or 9. When I am on the server, I am not always on MC, as I spend a lot of time on my administration job helping out as a GM or as a Moderator, however I am always ready to help MC and, if there is nothing pressing going on with GM / Staff, I am more than happy to switch jobs.

6: Why should you be a medical officer?: I believe there are many, many reasons why I should be a Medical Officer. For a start, since joining the branch I have shown constant dedication, being one of (if not the) most active MC, and have been constantly recognised for my work through promotions and commendations from not just MC officers, but also Purge, Shock and 501st Officers. My medical work and RP skills have been noted multiple times by other regiments, and my skill at multi-tasking during events has been commented on multiple times by Purge, as I work with them a lot in on-ship events at EC.

Secondly, as I mentioned previously, I do have prior experience in this role. I used to be an MC CPT a couple of years ago, and I like to think that my performance in that role was more than satisfactory. I have proven as a NCO that I can lead the regiment and troopers, whether this be in one of the tryouts or trainings I hosted, or the simulations I offer. I also did this back in the day when I was a Captain, not just inspiring NCOs and Enlisted to be active, but lower officers.

Thirdly, I have a lot of new ideas I'd like to bring to the table in MC, and being an officer puts me in a better position to do this. Since the first day that I joined MC I have been making suggestions, however it can be a little hard to get your voice and opinion heard as a TRN or even as an NCO, versus when you are an officer. I think my ideas would freshen up MC if accepted, and would also improve the activity in the branch, inspiring new people to join and boosting numbers.

Finally, I think I have proven leadership skills over my time during MC and I would love to be in a position to actively host trainings for the Enlisted and NCOs of MC. Meaning no offense to my fellow NCOs, but I do believe a lot of them have some way to go before being ready to become an officer, and I think with my ability to teach and convey ideas and points, I could improve their skills in their role and mold them into better NCOs and eventually into officers. I have proven my ability to teach and mold during my time as a GM tick 8, training lower GMs on how to use the tools given to us as GMs, how to host combat events, and how to host off-maps. I think I am also a pretty friendly person who is good at welcoming new people to the branch and giving them help if needed. I have been complimented a few times by Naval and DT who have seen me doing tryouts back when I was in Naval as they were impressed in the depth I went into explaining systems, making sure my trainees knew what they were doing and were comfortable in their role.

7: How well do you command other troopers?: I think I command other troops excellently, and I strive for the opportunity to do so. When an event happens I almost always kick into action (sometimes I am a little too eager and don't notice I am not the highest online) making sure that people know what they are doing in that event, and that Enlisted are grouped with NCOs in-case they get confused. I have proven my leadership multiple times when hosting trainings or SIMs, and when leading people in SIMs, missions and events. I think I am strong willed and self confident, which allows me to give orders to people without hesitation. I am also gracious in accepting when I am in the wrong, another strong trait of a leader, this means that I will not argue with someone trying to defend myself when I am in the wrong, as I can accept that I made a mistake or a misunderstanding. I have also proven initiative time and time again, which I think is another useful trait for a leader from my time asking to host trainings and SIMs from the low rank as a SGT. This is why I was promoted to Imperial Researcher in the Research branch, as I was constantly trying to host Research trainings when authorised and improve everyone's experience.

8: Why should we accept your application over other applications?: I think I am a stronger candidate than other applications (even those who have been here longer than me) for a couple of reasons. Firstly, my experience: I have been a Naval Lieutenant recently, rising to that rank relatively quickly and leading well during my time. Longer ago, I was an MC CPT as I have mentioned a few times, and I think I did a fantastic job during my time, which I'm sure anyone who was in the regiment with me at the time could attest to.

Secondly, as I also mentioned earlier, I do believe I am one of the most active MC on the server, on both the job and on the server. MC is my main life, I dedicate almost all of my time to MC and when I am not dedicating time to MC on the server, I am in the TS, Discord, or both of them, making sure everyone knows what they're doing and ready to help at any point. I think this makes me a better candidate too, as I am able to give more time to MC than another candidate might.

The final reason you should chose me over other people is because I think I have a lot more drive and inspiration for the branch than other people. The other people in the branch may like MC, but I think my dedication and hard work put into MC shows that I love the branch and want only the best for it. This is a great trait in an officer that other applicants don't have as strong as me, and I think it is definitely something that makes me stand out as a candidate. I put in a lot of work, effort and time for MC right now and I'm only an NCO, so imagine what I could do as an officer.

 

Thanks for reading.
