Ranking Structure Changes
Over the last 2-3 weeks, the leadership has been discussing a major ranking overhaul.
As a result, we've come to the following changes to ranks and responsibilities. With these changes is coming a full rank reset - all individuals under the rank of Lieutenant will be reduced to Private to give individuals an opportunity to assess changes and decide if they want to pursue higher ranks. This isn't intended to be a punishment to anyone. Any member that is granted the rank of Private First Class [PFC.] will be allowed to apply for higher ranks via the respective forms.
Here are the new ranks and responsibilities. The application for pursuing higher ranks will be made available shortly.
