Battalion Recruiting Policy

# Recruitment Staff Standard Operating Procedure

Bravo 3

This SOP has been written to clearly enumerate the expectations, responsibilities, and powers associated with being a Recruiter, within the 8th Shock Troops Battalion.

## Your Role:

As a recruiter, your job is to make sure all new members get the correct information prior to becoming a member of the unit. If they do not get the correct information they will enter with false information, get confused, and possibly leave. When new members join they will be instructed on the recruitment format and about the whole fifteen day wait before they can transfer. Make sure they understand what detachment/section does prior to joining. AS A RECRUITER, YOU DO NOT RECRUIT FOR YOUR SECTION YOU RECRUIT FOR THE UNIT!

### Fifteen Day Transfer Policy:

All members of Bravo 3 will be under a 15 day transfer hold in any section they are attached to and or transfer to regardless of rank or position.

### Military Service:

If Applicant has military experience, (i.e. Army vet) then they are more than welcome to join the unit. Just remember that military service does not grant extra or special rank. We can always use military veterans and their advice and if need be they can attain rank faster to fill certain leadership roles.

## Discharge and Discharge Policy:

While new to the unit all members are required to attend a small AnS/BCT Course to assess their knowledge of the OPTRE mods, usage of radios, advance medical knowledge, weapon familiarity, and simple movements in order to pass. While in their first fifteen days each recruit will need to be active in order to not be discharged. “What discharge policy, you ask?” well the discharge policy for this is simple; if there is no activity for seven (14) days the recruit is put into the inactive reserves and then after another seven (7) days of no activity the said recruit is discharged from 8th Shock Troops Battalion and must wait thirty (30) days until they can re-apply. Discharged recruits will be added to a centralised Discharge List with a notation of the reason as well as date of discharge.
