It has come to recent light that due to the poor mixture of having training areas and being in-dev at the same time, some individuals have forgot that we are in fact in-development, and due to a lack of promotions or events, they are getting bored and/or tired. While I should just let you all realize it the hard way, I've decided to have a test run on an idea I've come up with.
If you have time on your hands, but it seems that your time does not equal the officer's time, and you simply are not seen, then this is for you. You can apply your time to defending and patrolling with our allies and making a positive name for the Arenirian Sovereignty while doing so. If you visit and patrol allied bases, you will gain a certain amount of points. All that is required to qualify for points towards your name is a screenshot (Hosted on prntscrn/img) and a PM from an officer or NCM(Usually the fourth rank, depending on the group.) verifying that you were an asset to the defense/a positive attitude in patrolling. Ensure you are polite and patient - I will verify with the officer/NCM that you didn't nag them to send the PM.
Now, an issue that might come to play is the idea that our allies never patrol or don't yet have a base. Fear not, you still are not out of the game. At the bottom of this post will be an application form - once you fill it out and it is approved, you will be able to patrol/defend groups that are not our allies and gain points (Not the same as you would get for defending/patrolling our allies.) towards a promotion.
Various other ways to gain more points are to recruit others into patrolling/defending in a squad with you - it will show your ability as a leader. If your patrolling and defending leads to a successful alliance, you will of course be noted and rewarded. It is possible that squads formed in the process of this test may be actualized and there is the potential then for competitions/tournaments for the best squads, points awarded for those who prove themselves the best. Go out of your comfort zone. PM others and ask what they are like. As these "squads" are not at all official, you could decide the hierachy. Will a Watch Officer or Exemplar lead the squad? Would the Watch Officer lead the squad and an Exemplar takes a supervisory role? That much is in your hands until A-COM decide what's what.
This is only available for a limited time, so make the following weekend and week count. Move quick and send your applications in for non-allies. You don't have to wait for approval to patrol/defend non-allies, but you will not be given points until the application is approved. Yes, points will vary depending on how much of an asset you are to the allied team. No, the points you get for what will not be listed. Any other questions, feel free to post them here.
TL;DR: TEMPORARY protect ally get promo.

@Voldat The requests are PMed to me directly. "Contact" is for the owner/high command of the group you're requesting to patrol. I have to have their consent.

The idea is nice but you didn't exactly reach out to contact me regarding it.
Something of this scale is important enough to mention to me or the Command, is it not? |

| I would have done so if I intended for this to be official. Currently, it is a personal project I've decided to give a shot. Pending on it's success/failure, it may or may not be brought to command to be refined and actualized. |

Very good idea, but you should have contacted Seviro first.

^ If this were a personal project, you shouldn't tag it as [A-SOV].
