Section I: Achieving the Ranks

Each rank denotes a special part in the clan, each playing a vital role in the upkeep and structuring of the clan in its entirety. A detailed explanation of each of the ranks is as follows:

Recruit
Recruit is the first rank for all new clan members. During this 4 week time period they will be able to get acquainted with clan procedures and members. They will be given full use of the clan forums and the ability to participate in clan matches if they wish.

Private
After the 4-week time period, the 2 highest-ranking members of the clan and a member ranked Sergeant or higher will review you. You can be reviewed a total of two times before being denied membership. The second review will be held one month to the date after your first review. However, once granted membership into the clan a recruit will be promoted to the rank of Private. A Private is considered a full member of the clan and will be selected over recruits to play in clan matches.

Private First Class
This is the third rank, after twelve more weeks of being in the clan a private will automatically be ranked up to Private First Class. During this time period the clan member should have played an active role in the clan and fought in several clan matches. Members that are Private First Class are recommended to look for other players to join the clan. The PFC should introduce any prospective members to a Sergeant. This is also the first rank to be able to take a position in the clan.

Corporal
Candidates are selected by the Sergeants and Master Sergeants for review with the Lieutenants. If all agree, then the PFC will become a Corporal. During this time period the clan member should have played an active role in the clan and fought in many clan matches. Members that are Corporal are recommended to look for other players to join the clan. Corporals may also be given the task to lead practices when deemed necessary by a ranking member. Just like the PFC, the Corporal should introduce any prospective members to a Sergeant.

Sergeant
The rank of Sergeant is achieved much like the rank Corporal. Candidates are selected by the Sergeant Major and Lieutenants for review with the top two officers. If all agree, then the Corporal will become a Sergeant. The rank of Sergeant is given to those who show great promise in the clan; they show they are active in the server, and in the forums. They show themselves as an example of the clan rules and all they represent. This promotion gives the ability to help in the recruitment process by taking recommendations and accepting new members into the clan as recruits. The Sergeant will be given various forms of administrative access in order to help the leadership maintain the clan.

Master Sergeant
Candidates for Master Sergeant is decided by the sergeants meaning there should always be a Master Sergeant for every three Sergeants. The rank of Master Sergeant is given to those who continue to show that they are active in the server, and in the forums. They have met all of the requirements of the Sergeant. This promotion gives the ability to help in the recruitment process by making the decision to accept new members into the clan as recruits. The Master Sergeant will be given administrative access to the game servers and any additional access as deemed necessary by the clan leadership.

Sergeant Major
Candidates for the rank of Sergeant Major are selected by all of the Officers. The rank is given to those who continue to show that they are active in the server, and in the forums.

Command Sergeant Major
The rank of Command Sergeant Major is decided by the membership by a 3/4 vote, to remove the Command Sergeant Major a 3 / 4 vote by all clan members Pvt. and higher is required. The Command Sergeant Major is required to work with the officers in order to help make clan decisions. This is the highest rank before reaching officer level. They must have met all of the requirements of the Master Sergeant. In addition, they must have served a minimum of 6 months in the clan. The Command Sergeant Major is considered the disciplinarian. Problems with other members that were not able to be solved are to be reported to the CSM. The CSM will attempt to correct the problem through discussion and report this to the officers. If this fails, disciplinary action will be performed as stated in the clan rules. The CSM will be given administrative access to the game servers and any additional access as deemed necessary by the clan leadership.

Lieutenant
Lieutenants are chosen by the top two ranking clan members. They are the go-to people for lower ranking members of the clan. If there is a problem with the Server, forums, or anything of that nature inform them. They report directly to the Captain and will be responsible for helping to make clan decisions that are not voted on by the clan as a whole. Lieutenants are to be informed of infringements to clan rules. It is then their duty to discuss this with the Command Sergeant Major, Captain, and Major. Lieutenants will be given administrative access to the game servers and any additional access as deemed necessary by the clan leadership.

Senior Lieutenant
Candidates for Senior Lieutenant are decided by the Lieutenants meaning that there should always be a Senior Lieutenant for every three Lieutenants. Senior Lieutenants are chosen by the top two ranking clan members. They are the go-to people for lower ranking members of the clan. If there is a problem with the Server, forums, or anything of that nature inform them.

Captain
Members who hold the rank of Captain are chosen directly by the Major. Should there ever be more than one Captain, their responsibilities will alternate at their leisure. Captains are responsible for maintaining clan needs when the Major is unavailable. The Captain is responsible for maintaining the rank structure, ensuring that proper rank ratios are maintained, and is available to handle any large issues with recruitment.

Major
The rank of Major is given to the clan founder and primary clan leader. The Major provides direction to the members, foresees clan events, moderate forums, does upkeep to servers and website, and accepts, declines, and Promote/Demote other clan members.

Section II: Status

In the clan a member can be one of three status levels, which are listed below:

-Active
Active members are online regularly; attend matches, and clan meetings. They post on the forum and are generally seen performing whatever duties they may have.

-Reserve Status
After a clan member is gone for 4 weeks the member will be considered a Reserve and will remain at their current rank. Former members that join |DOS| who resigned under good terms will be welcomed back into the clan with a smaller 2 week recruit period. We already know what to expect from you, therefore a longer period is redundant.

-Retired Status
Circumstances may cause a member to retire, they may as long as their rank is classified as NCO or higher. In this case, the member will be held in Retired status indefinitely or until they return. Those that return will come back with either the same rank or a slightly lower rank depending on clan needs at the time. This decision on ranking will be decided by the top 3 officers.

Section III: Positions

Each clan member, after reaching the rank of Private First Class, will be given one of the three Positions. Each position has a different job, and each member of that position will be held responsible for completing tasks given to them per their position. Clan members may be recommended to a position, but they are free to choose a position at their own will. The positions are:

-Technicians
Technicians will be responsible for helping other clan members with their computer issues, such as game crashes, computer glitches, or any computer or Tech problems. They will also be responsible for Server upkeep and maintenance if needed.

-Tactician
Tacticians will gather information about the clans we confront during league play, about all the maps that are played in competition. They will scout out sniping areas, safe house areas, and help the clan to develop a fighting style for clan matches.

-Recruiters
Recruiters are the back bone for the clan they gather new members, by means of posting on gaming forums, recruiting in server, or recruiting members from other games.

THEY WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE RECRUIT FROM OTHER CLAN SERVERS
