Training Badges

Overview

Each Training topic in Black Watch International's syllabus carries with it one or more badges. Completing a course (or achieving a grade in the Flight and Armour Schools) will grant a member a badge to reflect their proven knowledge. All of these badges carry a points value; a Private that achieves 32pts will be promoted to Private First Class (PFC). PFC members are well versed on the various gameplay elements and tactics used in Black Watch Operations and are shining examples of members that want to support their teammates with advanced knowledge.

Some roles in our Platoon structure require a member to have already achieved a certain badge. For example, to join a pilot a CAS Helicopter you must have already earned your Rotary A Grade Badge.
