Approximate time and date of the incident (Central US Time for fastest results) ~2PM Central US Time
What rule(s) were broken: SOP ; CO WL Expectations
Description of the incident: I was CMP in a round with Windhealer CO today. Everything proceeded as those rounds usually do: Windhealer wanted to deploy, he asked for Honour guards, everything was chill.
I then *overheard* (i.e. was NOT explicitly informed in any way) that Armouries in CiC were being used to equip 3-4 random PFCs to act as Honour Guards, eventhough I already had one MP delegated to that task.
Windhealer proceeded to equip the PFCs with not only SO Armour, but Tac Shotties, as well.
I eventually came into CiC and confronted Dreven about this, with two MPs as backup. I informed him that he cannot issue Armoury gear to non-officers without an emergency/pressing reason to do so. He proceeded to tell me to 'not be a stickler', before typing out a hasty announcement that "SOP is hereby changed and I can give out gear to PFCs". I forgot what exactly the announce said, but it was announced AFTER the deed. Of course, this ignores that you CANNOT change SOP in this case, because it's a non-modifiable part of SOP.
CO told me to stand down and bugger off, and so I bit my tongue and decided not to pester the PFCs about returning the illegal gear they were wearing to cause friction in CiC so early.
I went to fax HC, which took the entire round (until evac) to receive a reply. As I left and wrote my fax, I overheard Dreven telling me to "not be a skitler" and not bother to fax.
After evac, an arrest order for Windhealer came, on grounds of NoD and FtFP. I was unable to fullfill this arrest warrant due to Marines coming to protect Windhealer, and because of Hijack.
While I'm aware that the HC response via fax technically makes this sort of an IC issue, I'm primarily worried because a CO should not be making these types of slip-ups. Dreven is a player who, despite being a popular CO, is renown for having a relatively poor grasp of ML and SOP, and keeps messing up with them. This, to me, is not acceptable for a whitelisted CO, especially given how many times in the past this kind of report has been leveled against him already.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc): Sadly I didn't take a screencap of the HC arrest order, or have any caps of the announcement for SOP change. I'd need logs pulled.
How you would punish the accused: At the very least a Warning by the CO Council.
