Promotion/Demotion/Discharged/Deserter Policy


PROMOTIONS

The promotion scale is used to see the range that an officer can promote to. It also displays what ranks an officer can demote.

Promotion Scale
SMMC ---------------------------------W-1
O-1 --------------------------------- E-6
O-2 --------------------------------- E-7
O-3 --------------------------------- E-9
O-4 --------------------------------- W-1
O-5 --------------------------------- W-4
O-6 --------------------------------- O-1
O-7 --------------------------------- O-2
O-8 --------------------------------- O-3
O-9 --------------------------------- O-4
O-10 --------------------------------- O-5
HQMC --------------------------------- +1
ACMC--------------------------------- O-9
CMC --------------------------------- O-10

This range is subject to change at any given point without notice, it reflects the promotional and demotional ranges of officers at the USMC.

The promotion method here is the officer may just do it private or call out an Attention and call the marine to report. After doing so the officer would give the new motto and possibly a new uniform depending on the rank given.

Officer's may only promote when personnel have reached the appropriate minimum time in grade.

HQMC get +1 meaning if one is 2 and is part of the HQMC, instead of having an E-6 promotion range, one is added to make it E-7.

Time in Grade
Flag Grade ---------------------- 4 Months (Minimum)
Field Grade ---------------------- 3 Months (Minimum)
Company Grade ---------------------- 2 Months (Minimum)
Warrant Officers ---------------------- 1 Month
Senior Non-Commissioned Officers ---------------------- 20 Days
Non-Commissioned Officers ---------------------- 16 Days
Enlisted ---------------------- 8 Days


Special Promotional Policies

Only the CMC/ACMC may promote to 2ndLt as rights must be given.

Only Billet Officers may promote personnel within their MOS.

When at E-4 YOU must be in a MOS in order to advance to the next paygrade. In order to advance in any other paygrade above you are required to join a MOS.

When a E-1 receives two or more MOS Training tags that E-1 should be automatically promoted to the rank of E-2 regardless of their enlistment date by the trainer of that AIT.

All E-3s must have received Sentry Training from their promoting officer before being promoted.


DEMOTIONS

Demotions are used as disciplinary action in the U.S Army. Demotions are used as the last resort. The following policy dictates proper actions:

E-1:
1st Offense: Warning
2nd Offense: Dishonorable Discharge

E-2+:
1st Offense: Warning
2nd Offense: Temporary Demotion
3rd Offense: Permanent Demotion
4th Offense: Dishonorable Discharge

Certain offenses may bypass the system. Officer's may only demote within their range. They may also only demote within their branch.

DISCHARGES

To be discharged, is to longer be a part of active service within the USMC.

Honorable Discharges

To receive an honorable discharge, must be at least the rank of E-3, and post a resignation thread on the resignation board. A service person must also leave honorably to receive an honorable discharge. This means you can't leave to avoid a disciplinary action.

Personnel may only join back if they:

Have been gone for over a month.
Have not done actions harmful to the USMC or its allies.
Have not joined an enemy military.
Have not been labeled as NEVER REHIRE

In order for personnel to be eligible for an Honorable Discharge, the person must post a resignation on the appropriate board for their own resignation. Personnel are not allowed to post a resignation for someone else, unless there is a physical inability to do so (i.e. not registered on the forums, not appropriately masked). All personnel who have a resignation posted through a friend will receive a Dishonorable Discharge in lieu of the requested Honorable Discharge. Similarly, all personnel posting for another will face consequences in accordance with the demotion policy.

Dishonorable Discharges

There are many reasons to receive a dishonorable discharge, but any personnel that have been, are not allowed back. Officer's may dishonorably discharge any personnel within their range with sufficient reason.

DESERTERS

Personnel of the pay grades E-1 - E-5 are labeled as deserters if they are absent from Habbo and/or the forums for five or more days without taking leave or light duty. Personnel of the pay grades E-6+ are labeled as deserters if they are absent from Habbo and/or the forums for ten or more days without taking leave or light duty. Deserters may return at a one rank demotion.
