The Legion

JOINING
If you plan to join, you must pay a MINIMUM of $20 for equipment fees. We are going to be paying for your weapon, your uniform, your patches and optics for higher ranks, so the $20 is nothing to what we'll be paying. You will enter as the lowest rank, so low that you are not allowed to play in full-on scrimmages or versus games. You must be trained to become a private before being able to compete.

RANK COMMISSIONS
To receive a rank commission, you must be at least a Private and have taken a CES (Commission Eligibility Sequence) which is advanced training (Reflex training, marksman training, STOC [Strategy and Tactics Operation Course] and CCC [Cohort Command Course]). Once you have passed the CES (You only get two tries per month) then you must fill out an application and turn it in to the Cohort Sergeant of your Cohort. If accepted, you will be tested on your knowledge of the CES and then you may receive a commission to either Corporal or Senior Corporal.

EQUIPMENT
The reason you pay at least $20 is so we can pay for your full-metal, fully automatic M4A1, its sight if you are an "upperclassman" (atleast a senior sergeant), your uniform, and your patch. If you break any of the equipment you must pay for it.

COHORT SETUP
Cohorts are the squads of the Legion, and consist of 4-7 people.
Captain (Leader)
Cohort Sergeant (Second in command of a Cohort)
Radioman (Usually a Lieutenant if present, if not its the next highest ranking)
Ammo Bearer (Must carry around a jar of ammunition and speedloaders in his pack alongside everything else. Usually issued as a punishment.)
Remaining slots will usually be standard infantrymen but will be changed if needed.

WEAPONRY
Sidearms are allowed but you must inform your CS (cohort sergeant) that you have one and it will be put on file. You must use the standard issue M4A1 but if you have taken the CES (You /can/ have failed the exam) you can apply to your CS to use your own weapon. It must meet or exceed our standards of weaponry and it must be kept on file at all times. If you use your own weapon, you must use your own optics, your own ammunition and must maintain it /completely/ on your own.

DONATIONS
It will be incredibly hard to fund this group, so any donations are highly appreciated, and will add to your merit which will give you an opportunity to rank up. Note you cannot buy ranks.

PUNISHMENTS
We have not drafted any rules yet, but we will soon. Some things may include vulgarity on the field, disrespect and disobeying the orders of superiors, cheating on the field, using unapproved weaponry, and bribing people for advancements. More will be added later.
Punishments will change on the severity of the infraction. Punishments include:
1. Running laps around the training field.
2. Pushups, crunches or other exercises.
3. Being assigned ammo bearer duty.
4. Demotion. You can be demoted to enlisted but still retain your Commission, you just need to reapply.
5. Revocation of commission.
6. Removal from the team.
7. Weapon cleaning duty.
8. Suspension from the team.

OUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Our only current big plan for the future is to purchase a plot of land and build plywood training houses with windows and rooms for CQC training, and also a firing range. That is why we need donations. If you have any suggestions, contact an upperclassman.
