From the desk of the Executive Officer
Subject: Promotions
1) In an effort to provide uniformity to in-squad promotions the following guidelines shall be used as a framework:
a) Promotion dates: Promotions shall be considered monthly, on or about the first of each month. Each Hunting Group shall scrub the roster for promotion eligible pilots and effect promotions as necessary.
b) Promotion eligibility: All pilots enter Wolf Pack at the Lieutenant level. The initial probationary period will be one month, after which a pilot will be considered for promotion. Each individual pilot shall be automatically promoted to Wing Commander provided the pilot has achieved the required rank (15) and completed a full month of probation. Each individual pilot shall be automatically promoted to Group Captain once a pilot has achieved the required rank (20) and spent a minimum of one full month as Wing Commander. Squadron Air Marshals are responsible for promoting all eligible pilots within their respective Hunting Group based on the aforementioned guidelines.
c) Air Marshal promotion: Only individuals who display loyalty to Wolf Pack shall be considered for promotion to Air Marshal. Air Marshal promotions shall be accomplished by an AM Promotion Board. The AM promotion board shall consist of all Wolf Pack Air Marshals from all Hunting Groups. Promotion to Air Marshal shall be awarded to pilots at or above the rank of 25 following nominations to the AM promotion board. Nominees for Wolf Pack Air Marshal shall be based upon adherence to squad rules and guidelines, overall game play, behavior on the forum and in world chat, overall activity, ability to represent Wolf Pack ethics and standards, and guidance and mentorship of junior wolves. Air Marshal candidates must be voted upon by all members of the AM promotion board and all promotions shall be decided by unanimous vote. AM promotion boards will convene once per calendar quarter beginning the last week of the calendar quarter. In order to establish a guideline, the last week of March, 2015 will be Wolf Pack's inaugural AM promotion board.
2) These guidelines are
open for discussion for a period of 10 days from todays date and ending March 22, 2015. I encourage all active wolves to weigh in reference the aforementioned promotion guidelines here in an open forum to establish a final product prior to the convening of our first AM promotion board.
The Skipper and I both agree that Wolf Pack belongs to each and every one of us. We are a pack. Policy changes which will ultimately affect each and every wolf should be done in writing and generally agreed upon by a majority. All input regarding promotions will be considered prior to the 10 day deadline, at which time the promotion policy will be set and promotions will begin.
