1st Marine Recon Battalion Is Recruiting!

[SheepShaving 1]

WHAT IS THE 1st RECON BATTALION?

We are a Tactical Realism Marine Recon unit. We play as tactical as possible and work hard to do so. We are everything you want in a Marine Unit. We have a Marine Infantry Section and a Force Recon Section so we can do multiple things according to the circumstances of our current mission. We are based in North America, so if you are European, you must be dedicated for time otherwise you may not make the events.

RECRUITING AND CLASSES

Aspiring members will sign up and report to recruit training (if accepted) on Saturdays. Recruit training is divided up into four phases which are 30 minutes each. There will be a 5-10 minute interval in between each phase for recruits to attend to real life matters.

Infantry Marines will attend the Infantry Training Battalion at the School of Infantry. This training is conducted the Sunday after recruit training. It is a one-two hour class which covers combat marksmanship, using grenades, convoy operations, how to counter Improvised Explosive Devices (also known as IEDs), formations, land navigation, patrolling, and Military Operation in Urban Terrain (otherwise known as MOUT).

Non-infantry Marines will attend Marine Combat Training where they will learn combat marksmanship, how to counter IEDs, how to defend a position, convoy operations, formations, how to assault in a fireteam, patrolling, the use of hand grenades, and MOUT.

After infantry Marines complete Infantry Training Battalion, they will move on to Advanced Infantry Training Battalion where they will complete the Basic Reconnaissance Course. After completing the Basic Reconnaissance Course, Marines are finished with training and will then be assigned to a unit. Any other additional training such as Scout Sniper Basic Course or Infantry Squad Leaders Course is up to them.

RANKS

We go by the USMC rank system. Squads are lead by NCO's (Sergeant or Staff Sergeant). We have a promotion point system, however it differs from other units. We follow the three Marine core values (Honor, Courage, Commitment). There are many ways to earn Honor points, such as being respectful to people or following the rules. In order to earn Courage points, one must stand out in-game (we don't mean to go rambo everything, but rather be a team-player). Lastly, Commitment points can be earned by just being active. Every day you are on, five points are awarded. Once you earn the required amount of points for each value, a meeting will be held by all team leaders and above to discuss the promotion. From there on, you just cross your fingers!

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for people that can follow orders and have fun. As long as you have a legal copy of each game (ArmA 2 and 3), know the basic controls for ArmA 2 and ArmA 3, have a mic, teamspeak 3 (free) and are over 14 (some exceptions made), you are eligible to join.

ROLES

We use an MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) system, which lets you choose what role you want to play in the unit.
