Experience
How familiar are you with command positions? I would say I'm well versed in command positions, so much so that it's my preferred roles, whether that be XO or SL. I like to be a leader in some capacity, and I take it REASONABLY seriously (IE I'm not stuck up about it, but I also don't meme about it either). In addition, I also have extensive knowledge of ML as well as SOP.
Approximately how many hours do you have as Executive Officer (XO) at the time of writing this application? At the time of writing this, I have 77 hours in XO.
Approximately how many hours do you have as Squad Leader at the time of writing this application? At the time of writing this, I have 111 hours in SL.
Basic Questions & Story
Why did your character decide to become the CO of a ship? Through the civil wars of his frontier home planet, Fenrir has seen what terror and corruption can bring, and something he sees in the USCM. Through countless operations with the corps that saved his life when he was stranded years ago, he has watched corruption seep its way in from the greedy grasp of the WY corporation, the same corporation that sowed the seeds of war back home for profit. Truly, the only way to fix what is wrong, would be to climb the ranks and do so from the inside, and in doing so he hopes, uncover the truths behind WY.
How did your character attain the position of CO? Through trial and tribulation, Fenrir has remained doggedly loyal to the USCM. Through countless missions coming through, to command failures taking each as a learning experience, never losing faith in the corps, never stopping moving forward. His military prowess, his experience, landed him with the opportunity to be promoted, and one he didn't feel deserving of, but one he would graciously take.
Provide a short story of your Commanding Officer.
Scenarios
When do you believe it’s appropriate to pardon a prisoner? Give an example. A pardon is not something to be taken lightly, and shouldn't be given to just anyone pulled into the brig. A pardon should be given only in the case of:
A) The arrest was unwarranted or charges are wrongfully placed on the accused party.
B) The person briged is imported to the operation and the crimes are minor, ONLY under the condition that it is not a repeated offense and that any repeat will not be given such leniency.
This is of course, as stated, is only if the charges are minor, though a willingness to hear out any arrested party should still be had even if the charges are major. While I would most likely never pardon any major crimes, hearing both sides of the story is incredibly important, especially as the CO who has ultimate authority on the Almayer.
When do you believe it’s appropriate to use a Battlefield Execution? Give an example. BE is an absolute last resort punishment, reserved ONLY for people that are fully disrupting the operation to an extreme degree and should NOT be taken lightly.
Examples of when NOT to BE:
-- Marines disrupting briefing by just joking around. Using a BE in this case is no different from fearmongering and is abuse of power.
-- Marines committing DASO by simply name-calling or making fun of the Major. Brigging is fine, but BE in this case is excessive and unwarranted.
Examples when TO BE:
-- An MT breaks into CIC and begins majorly disrupting operations, getting in the way of the CO, aCO, and/or SO's, refusing to leave when ordered and making a mess for MPs. In this case, a chance was given to stand down in the order to leave, and as they have been disrupting operations they have gone beyond the chance given and caused a clog in CIC which can prove massively detrimental to operations.
-- An SO goes out of their way to undermine both the CO and XO and give orders to all the marines, regardless of what they're superior orders. They have been warned multiple times to cease, as their orders and contradicting statements have cause mass confusion. In this case, they have been warned and if continuing to do so causes massive issues, this may call for a BE.
In both the aforementioned examples, BE should still be as an absolute last resort if MP's cannot handle and the actions have caused massive issues for the operation. Personally, I just don't like removing anyone from the round if it can be avoided. All in all, BE is incredibly situational, and more often than not I'd prefer an arrest.
