    While I appreciate having a hands-off view on Marine Law, the reality is that you will have to intervene in tricky situations involving ML at some point as CO. The rest of your app is fine, but knowing the practical ins-and-outs of ML is essential to being a good CO, as it ensures not only that you won't unknowingly abuse your position but will also prevent others from doing so as well.

    To gauge your understanding of ML, I'll run you through a few questions. I'll hand my verdict following your answers.

    1. You awaken just before briefing and are made aware that the XO is planning on assembling the Smartgunners and Specialists of every squad into a new squad, termed "Echo Squad." How do you address this as CO?

    2. During the middle of the operation, you're made aware by an SO that the CMP is planning on executing a prisoner. You were not aware prior to this point that anyone had even been arrested at all. When you ask for more details, the SO tells you the arrested personnel is a PFC who primed a grenade in Req and wounded several marines. What do you do?

    3. Before briefing, you chance upon a commotion between Delta squad and two MPs in the Starboard entrance of the Brig. The marines appear to be trying to break in by disarming the MPs and breaking the windows, while the MPs are telling them to disperse and flashing the ones that do break in. You overhear the marines talking about breaking out their Smartgunner, though they don't mention his crime, if any. What do you do?

    Be as specific as possible and try to explore each scenario to its reasonable completion to the best of your abilities.

    Be as specific as possible and try to explore each scenario to its reasonable completion to the best of your abilities.
    1. This is allowed under the law from what I have read, since from what I recall there is actually an option to assign people to Echo Squad. However, I would discuss with the XO why he is planning to do this. I don't see any particularly good reason TO do that, so I would most likely tell the XO that this plan is not going to happen.

    2. I'd have to ahelp about this one before/after doing my own investigation to see if it is a case of straight-up griefing or just gross incompetence. If it was griefing, it's an admin matter and if I needed to I'd just tell the CMP to execute them, though odds are they will get banned before then. If it's just incompetence, I'd talk with the CMP first, then try to get a mentor or a SEA to help them get better at the game, killing someone who's just new to the game for doing something dumb isn't really fair.

    Also, I am not sure this situation can't really happen anymore, as far as I remember there's no way to detonate grenades on the Almayer until red alert or a hijack.

    3. Try to get Delta to calm down, as difficult as that is, and then I will most likely pardon the smartgunner if he did some minor crime, since it's pretty important to have your smartgunner and specialist on the first drop. If it's something serious, I'd let him serve his time, but possibly a reduced sentence just so he doesn't have to sit out half the round in the brig.
    Also, I would tell the MPs to leave the other delta marines alone, specifically citing that they should know that Delta is very easy to set off, and if they chose to arrest the smartgunner without handling the matter with some serious deliberation and delicateness, they had this coming.

Examples being taking his boots off and needing to get new ones, having to let the MP force feed him a hamburger, fill up a backpack with ammo or flares for req, or just apologize to the MP. It's not really a crime to call someone stupid, so they shouldn't be punished for it.
    (I hope quote works this time :^) Ok so, according to the new marine law, what you said is exactly correct. By a minor punishment I assume you mean NJP (and the tasks are similar to that of NJPs). Yes, you are right. Calling someone stupid isn't really a crime. And the CO CAN overrule an MPs decision to give a brig timer instead of an NJP, meaning as the CO you can make them NJP them as opposed to brig, so what you did is perfectly legal, as well as helpful if you make them pack ammo or something similar.

    One thing. If you get the whitelist before the new marine law is instituted, let's say it is still in testing, do know that disrespecting a superior officer is a major crime and the marine MUST be brigged for it, unless you use your authority to pardon. And one tiny thing. MPs are not commissioned, meaning insulting them does not count as insulting an officer, you would have to use insubordination in this case unless it is the CMP.

    I'll be shifting from NEUTRAL to APPROVED.

    Best of luck.

    Yeah, NJP. I looked up the exact military jargon for it after I posted it.
    Thanks for the support, man. I appreciate it.

    Hey.

    So, I've seen your conduct before in game and can't say I approve based on what I've seen. While you aren't the best... or worst... XO/SO/SL, you are one that I definitely can't get behind due to past occurences in rounds that I have seen involving you. Most of these times, I was ghosting and watching it unfold.

    A CO application seems be a judgement on a player's ability to play a role and be trusted to conduct themselves appropriately in it.

    Do I think you are physically able to play the role?
    Yes, alongside many others in the player base.

    Do I think you can be trusted to conduct yourself appropriately in it?
    No, I don't think are trustworthy based on past conduct.

    Best of luck,
    -1

    As with my vote on the previous application, I still see no problems with Just L receiving the whitelist. Previous downvotes seem to be mostly concerned with your low time as an XO and a concern for your conduct if you're given the WL, but I've seen you firsthand in CiC in both roles as SO and XO and hadn't seen anything too bad. Just keep the points made concerning your conduct and abilities in mind if you do indeed receive access.

    Still going with a +1 for this player. Best of luck, Orlando.

    Thanks man. If you have any suggestions for how to change certain ways I conduct myself, let me know here or over on discord. Like my application says, I am just trying to make the rounds more fun, so it does sometimes involve acting out a bit.

    I will be changing NEUTRAL to POSITIVE vote. I believe you fully understand the responsibility that you have as a Captain over your vessel, and I am certain that your conduct is good as I have interacted with you in the past. I have also seen you at Command roles and you have done an excellent work at running the operation.
    I wish you the best of luck with your application.

    Have interacted with him a fair bit and seen him in command positions, especially SL, quite a bit. Pretty good player, some questions could've used greater development but all in all it's a passable app from a good player, it'd be nice to see the average competency of COs go up for once. +1.
