Shadow Rising Recruit Training Guide

[Leana Harris 23]

Instructor/Trainer Standards:

-- Minimum of 3 trainers from each Squad

-- Trainers must be able to PROPERLY conduct both Recruiting and Training sessions. (this MUST be verified by the General of the trainer’s squad)

-- Trainers are preferred to be between the rank of LT and CPT

MAKE SURE THAT ONCE TRAINING IS COMPLETE, THE TRAINEE IS ADDED TO THE PROPER SQUAD TAG. POACHING FROM THE RECRUIT TAG WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION!!!

The following contains the guidelines for training new recruits. It is to be the foundation for training and follow-on guides will be posted at a later date for the training of PVts, CPLs, SGTs, LTs, CPTs and GENs.

Start the training session by explaining who you are and what is about to occur. Ensure the member has 20 minutes or so to dedicate to the training session before beginning.

1) Review the recruits’ qualifications (age/maturity level) and ensure that the standards were followed during the recruitment process. If the recruit is underage, find out who gave the age waiver for them to join.

2) Review the Code of Conduct with the recruit and answer any questions that they may have regarding the CoC.

3) Recite the rank structure: RCT,PVT,CPL,SGT,LT,CPT,Gen,COFO,Founder,Co-Div,Div-Leader,Director,Senior-Director. Explain the basic duties of the ranks RCT-CoFo (Details of what must be done to attain these ranks-timeline/training and any requirements)

4) Explain the importance of KSI tag prefix. Ensure the recruit knows that it is a requirement for higher ranks due to the fact that if a person wants to lead in KSI then they should be proud enough of the community to show their affiliation no matter what they are doing on XBL.

5) Explain to the recruit that they must follow the chain of command and bring any issue to their next highest member (SGTs and Below go to LTs, LTs go to CPTs, CPTs go to the GEN and so forth.) Explain the importance of all issues being handled at the lowest level possible, but if a leader is unable to resolve the issue, then it will be taken to the next higher level.

6) Explain the importance of Squad Meetings (we have them for accurate and complete dissemination of: information, news, upcoming events, and the opportunity for members to bring up issues/ideas)

7) Explain the purpose of the squad tag (offers a complete list of squad members so that members can see who else in the squad is online without having to add all 50 or more members. By going to the friends list of the squad tag, members can invite others that are online and still save space on the members’ friends list.) Explain as well that any messages sent FROM the squad tag should be held as gospel and followed as would any command from the squad’s general.

8) Explain the importance of using the forums - www.ksiforums.org (the Forums are a great way to converse with other members and maintain a constant flow of information throughout the community as well as the many resources and aid available on the forums.)
