    Hey thanks for the response! Just wondering, is there anything specific you would want to see from me in the future? I'm always looking for tips especially now when I'm trying to get into CO.

    Charles is a pretty cool dude and I have no real criticisms about how he plays the game. I think he'd make a solid CO. +1

    Hmmmmmmmm... good XO overall yada yada. I will be NEUTRAL for now however, since I want him to answer me, these questions three...

    1. A Delta walks into CIC behind a staff officer and asks to be transferred to Bravo squad because "CMP told me I had to". Upon further investigation, you see that the CMP DID say this marine had to transfer, however the only evidence of this you can find is "Joesph Bider, transfer to Bravo" over Delta comms. If a part of the question is too vague, then just pick a scenario for it. Same for the other two.

    2. An SO (of your four) comes into CIC. It is just you and him in CIC, 12:04, the other SOs are all in lower engineering and XO is non-existent. SO suddenly pulls out his starting gun (bonus points if you know what it is [don't use wiki or play SO before answering this]) and he says "Stick 'em up cap'n. This is my ship now." He is outside the glass bubble which you are inside, and he has no line of fire if he wanted to shoot you without moving. What do?

    3. You are walking to req, (but you have all the time in the world) and when you go pass the brig you hear the CMP talking to a prisoner. You manage to catch the phrase "I suppose I'll waive the rest of your sentence because you're the SADAR spec and it was only assault that wasn't too assaulty." There is a CMP, and an MP. The prisoner was the Alpha spec (SADAR) arrested for assault ordered by an IO because they punched the IO 7 times. You know he is guilty. What do you do? The CMP just said this.

    Hey thanks for taking the time to respond to my application, and let me try to reply to your questions in order.

    1. Unless the Marine was carrying some essential squad equipment, such as spare ammo for their spec or something along those lines I wouldn't have any issue with them transferring squads. One marine is not gonna make a huge difference in the long run. However, I would still ask the CMP (and the Delta Squad Leader if they aren't engaged at the moment with something more important) for the reasoning. Again, unless there is something serious going on that I have somehow entirely missed, just transferring one marine between squads is not gonna be an issue. Also one thing I am considering here is that the SO clearly let him in, or at least didn't keep them out so I doubt they would be a secret UPP spy or something.

    2. So from the setup of the question I am assuming that no MP's are around, if they even exist on board the ship. In this case I would feel that this falls well within the rules I set for my BE standards and would be willing to shoot the SO. Assuming I didn't entirely fail at being robust and I had incapacitated the SO, my choice to BE or find a way to get him to brig myself would usually depend on the situation. As I said earlier I believe that standard execution procedure is far more impactful in restoring order and control over a situation, but given the lack of staff I would likely choose to BE the Lieutenant so that I can get back to work quicker. Just because I am having a fight in CIC, doesn't mean marines will stop needing intel and supplies. (Also I believe the weapon is the M3A4, specifically the custom version which has slightly better stats that I don't remember. I tend to play XO more than SO so the only reason I know this offhand is from listening to a dchat discussion a few rounds back).

    3. I see this question as having two parts, one for what to do with the SADAR Spec and the CMP: For the SADAR I would have to make a tough decision very much depending on the scenario. While assault is a Major Crime that I know they are guilty of, the SADAR Spec can be essential to the success of an operation. However, the SADAR rockets do not understand the concept of IFF, and if I can't trust them with their fists then how can I trust them with a rocket launcher. If the situation was dire and the Spec had a very good reason I could see pardoning them, but 9 times out of 10 I would rather put them in the brig, even if just to know that they won't be killing other marines for a while. However, what I can't abide by is the CMP attempting to make a decision like this with out even making me aware of it. Even if the Spec had written the best damn appeal of all time, failure to inform me of this is unacceptable. Although I would have to re-read Nanu's rework, my gut is telling me that I need to remove the CMP from their duty. Both of the actions that the CMP and the Spec have taken would be very disappointing to me, and my concern both times is less with the individual action, and more that I would no longer be certain that I could rely on them when I need to.

    Also a side note here that I really wanted to ask, I gotta know who gave that medal you have in your signature? If you don't remember it's cool, but I would love to know. (note from slighty future me, just wanted to add that I am always looking for medal ideas given my application, and this is a great one)

    OK, your answers:

    1. Ya did good on this question.

    2. The commanding officer does not start with any non-lethal equipment, such as a flash (I think? You'd think I'd know being a CO and all) so yes, if you had a flash you could consider using it, but you have every right to BE this staff officer. Just remember, you must always be ready to back up your reasoning in a report. He'd probably say "I was just joking" or something, so he could get you de-whitelisted.

    3. You did good on this question, but remember. The CMP them self said that the SADAR did assault someone. The CMP can never "waive" sentences. That is for the commanding officer alone. You could definitely charge them with NoD for this, and have them demoted. Just remember to contact high command. As for the SADAR, trust is important. Because if you pardon him, you can be charged if the SADAR commits another crime, and while MPs won't arrest them for manslaughter when that White Phosphorus rocket kills 2 guys, because he is planetside, a bored MP may attempt to get you arrested. But let's be serious, who actually enforces manslaughter?

    As for the medal. I got that from Finnian Cottier. I was the RO and I found out how cheap claymores were and we had like, a ton of points in req, so I just spammed them and sent them all to the FOB. When I am CO, I don't give medals like "Fought bravely and saved his comrades!" I give medals that are kinda funny. No one cares about valor or heroism, they don't remember those. They remember the medal they got for beating you in basketball or escaping unjust MPs. Make your medals memorable. And one last thing regarding medals. Smartgunners and specialists should hardly ever get medals. You have to kill a LOT more beans then normal for me to consider a distinguished conduct medal, because I expect nothing less from a dude with a minigun that shoots through friends, or a literal RPG. Take that into account. A PVT who kills 5 beans vs. a spec who kills 5 beans.

    Nice app, solid responses to questions. Cool dude too. Don’t see a reason why I wouldn’t give you a +1 here in this — you’d definitely be a good CO. Good luck, and make sure you don’t get overwhelmed in the role!

    Hey I appreciate the +1, but I don't play SEA. Do you mean SL or maybe a different Charles Ellis (seems to be more by the day)?
