-[ First Encounter Assault Recon, A notion of Demotions and Promotions]- Hey there guys. I'd say I haven't done one of these in a long while, eh? I ain't gonna try and defend any kind of case here. Yeah, I'm really inactive. I get it. But that's not what this forum is about. Like all of my "rants", we're gonna be discussing (Or rather, I'll be lecturing you guys on) a problem that me, and a few other HRs have been noticing throughout the First Encounter Assault Recon, lately. However, both Low and High ranks can be seen as apart of the problem, this time around. I am of course referring to a problem that has been in FEAR since... Well... The very beginning, I'd say. It doesn't really have any other place to start rather then the very beginning. I am of course talking about ranks. Anything about ranks has caused absolute controversy in the First Encounter Assault Recon. I can see why, however. We're human, we want power. Everyone wants to have some authority over something, no manner how humble you may be. But this time, we'll be specifically talking about YOUR rank, and how people tend to react when they are demoted/promoted. Lately, I've been hearing a LOT of instances, where a low rank will be demoted, generally SGTs-MAJs, which will lead them to complain to a HR, generally one that they have a decent friendship with, which may in turn, get them their rank back. Most of the time, from what I see, the low rank describes the demotion as being "For no reason", whether or not the Low rank was talk to by the high rank who demoted them, or someone with the information to do that for them. Now, don't interprete this as "if you get demoted, you don't have a second chance". No, that's not exactly what I mean. Just yesterday, a low rank contacted me, as I had demoted him a day or two prior to that moment. After a little chat, it turned out the demotion-worthy "crime" he had committed, had been dealt with prior to me demoting him. A simple mistake, which led to him being re-promoted. This can actually happen quite a lot, but there's a difference from explaining why the demotion may have been a mistake, and being a kiss-ass to your HR friend to get your rank back. As I said before, I get it. You guys love your ranks. I too, love my position in FEAR. I'm not trying to brag (ok maybe a little), but who the hell wouldn't love to be the highest possible rank, other then the chain of command? We all love power. Its a human trait. But another human trait, that will help you A LOT in life, is patience. In fact, lets add Endurance into there as well. You need to be willing to work for something you want, not have it given to you on a silver platter. If you lose your rank, what do you do? You earn it back. Even I have gone through this, which may come as a surprise as some, since I'm rarely seen under the rank of Officer. I've lost my rank, be it General, Colonel, Officer, anything, Over a DOZEN times since I started my FEAR carrier back in 2010. And I've re-earned it in LIGHTNING time, when I was determined enough to go for it once again. You too, Soldiers, have the ability to do this. It's not hard. You just need to be Loyal, Determined, Headstrong, and willing to work towards a goal. Learning to do this, will help you so damn well, in your later life. But if you get into the habit of being given luxuries, guess what? You'll keep that habit through your later life, and it's gonna be REAL hard for you, in the long run. And, High ranks, as I said, this is aimed towards you too, as well. You guys REALLY need to stop promoting these people who keep whining about demotions. Seriously, guys. It's for your own good, and even theirs, too. You guys need to learn to pass judgment in a better fashion. That's all about I can say to you guys. You've gone through all of this already. You're more then mature enough to realize what faults your making right now, and frankly, I expect them to be fixed. I too, have faults, and I'm working on them. But High rank, we are role models, we need to show the next generation the ropes, if we wish for FEAR to last, and that does not mean giving out free promotions/re-promotions. And as an added bonus, guess what guys? Since I was recently appointed to "Director of Discipline", so I believe I now have the actual authority to "enforce" whatever I say in these rants. Ain't that just bloody wonderful?! Nah, but really, I'd like to see some improvement, FEAR. Ranks do mean something, yes, but they aren't worth developing bad habits. tl;dr: YES. |

Doesn't really make sense, it is normally, for no reason, you're just getting a minority of messages sent. Which are mainly true. A lot don't write in.
Mine was for no reason. |

It can depend on the situation
Especially when my situation was very unique
Although the way I dealt with it was yell at every HR for believing crap...
Guess that wasn't the right idea.

Ry
It was a different situation
Basically one of those situations where
Some random dude accuses you about lying about serious events and age
You show enough proof, people call it a "photoshop" or whatnot,
So you're stuck in a ditch You get pissed off
And yell at every high rank.
Yeah. |
