Upon promotion to Corporal, the individual must immediately complete a mock report and investigation under the direct supervision of a Master Sergeant or higher. This requirement is non-negotiable and is mandatory to be completed before all other mandatory requirements. Corporals are required to request their mock evaluation every 1 to 2 days, pinging the Master Sergeant and Lieutenant roles no more than once every 6 hours. High priority pings will be released whenever a host is available. Completion of this mock evaluation is a critical mandate that must be finalized within 12 days of the Promotion Panel; failure to meet this deadline will result in a formal ticket investigation. Exemption will only be granted if a valid excuse is submitted or if host unavailability prevents completion.
Corporals will be required to remain at their current rank for one month. During this time, they are required to make an effort towards completing the other steps listed herein and will be observed by a supervisor holding the rank of Master Sergeant or above. During this observation, notes will be taken regarding their performance, which will be reviewed at the end of the program to determine whether they will be promoted or demoted.
Corporals will be required to complete two ride-alongs with supervisors holding the rank of Master Sergeant or above. During this time, they are to either observe the supervisor and take note of what supervisorial qualities will be expected of them while asking questions and being an active participant OR taking the lead while the supervisor observes and takes note their performance and whether or not they posess the qualities we look for in our supervisors.
Corporals will be required to handle one department application while under the guidance of a supervisor holding the rank of Sergeant or above. These applications will be offered in the Supervisor in Training channel on Discord. Corporals will be expected to process the application from start to finish, being guided by the supervisor, and they'll be expected to ask questions when they are unsure so as to guarantee the application is handled correctly and promptly.
Corporals will be required to handle one department report & investigation while under the guidance of a supervisor holding the rank of Master Sergeant and above.
