[u][b]I. Basics:[/b][/u] [b]Initial Information-[/b] Hello I am [i][u]Corporal Zigalo[/u][/i] of Alpha Company, Kilo Platoon in the [url=http://dropshock.net/news.php]Dropshock Brigade[/url], I'd like to offer you the opportunity to join one of the most organized, professional, mature, and friendly clans you could hope to find in the entire Halo community. [b]Motto-[/b] "I am an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. Those words may be used often but we are unique. We are the best trained, best equipped, and craziest outfit in this collection of colonies we call the UNSC. I will defend her to my last breath and give my enemies the death that can only be provided under the tread of my black combat boots. I am no normal marine. I push my mind, body, and soul further than most human beings ever will. I instill fear in my enemies as I drop from the heavens like the wrathful gods of Greek lore. I show no mercy. I show no fear. I am a UNSC Helljumper and I go feet first." "Feet First Into Hell". [u][b]II. Registration and Enlistment:[/b][/u] [b]Enlistment Form:[/b] To join the brigade, you must first register on our website and fill out the [url=http://dropshock.net/viewpage.php?page_id=64]Enlistment Form[/url]. Make sure that you fill out every form in great detail. The enlistment process is a simple screening to determine who is truly committed to be a part of the Brigade. The best way to prove your worth is to be active, both on the forums and Halo: Reach. [b]Sponsorship-[/b] The first step to joining is meeting people. By meeting people and learning more about the Brigade, you can get [url=http://dropshock.net/viewpage.php?page_id=62]Sponsored[/url]. Sponsorship may only be attained after three days. It simply means a Brigade member has decided to place their faith in you. Your sponsor will be there to help you every step of the way. They will play with you, introduce you to other members, and generally show you the ropes. [b]Boot camp/Entrance Exam-[/b] After another four days -seven days total- you are allowed to take your boot camp. Boot camp is simply a determination of your teamwork skills, and how well you can callout. Your sponsors responsibility is to teach you callouts so that you may successfully pass boot camp. The final part of the enlistment process is the Entrance Exam. The exam is a simple test of your knowledge of the [url=http://dropshock.net/viewpage.php?page_id=5]Field Manual[/url]. [u][b]III. What We Have To Offer:[/b][/u] [b]Gaming- [/b]Unlike a lot of clans, we play together very often. We play Matchmaking a lot, the playlist varying on how many members are on. If we begin to get 7-8 or more in a lobby, then we switch over to custom games and have fun. We have game nights usually on weekends at around 8pm (EST time) and play fun customs. [b]Ribbons-[/b] In the Brigade, a ribbon signifies a soldier who has achieved a certain requirement and has been rewarded a ribbon for it. These ribbons are shown on your site profile. You may see yours and other ODST's ribbons on the side of each post. To receive these awards is a very great honor. [b]Entertainment-[/b] We regularly schedule clan matches to gain recognition among other clans, and mixers to form strong relationships between clans. We also have a nice [url=http://dropshock.net/chat/]Chatroom[/url] where you talk and meet new members. Make sure you keep the chat respectful, and make sure you're using Firefox. It is the only browser compatible with our chatroom. [b]Organization-[/b] We are a well organized clan with a [url=http://dropshock.net/zwar.php?page=members]Roster[/url]. Personnel are organized into divisions based upon where they live, and what time zone they are in. We have a wide variety of forums to discuss different things with other members. [b]Promotions-[/b] Promotions in the [url=http://dropshock.net/news.php]Dropshock Brigade[/url] are given for either a show of activity, loyalty, dedication, work ethic, and leadership skills. Do NOT ask for a promotion. Doing so will most likely result in a demotion or loss of merit. The detailed [url=http://dropshock.net/viewpage.php?page_id=10]Ranking Structure[/url] explains everything about each rank. If you decide to enlist, please remember to list [u]Zigalo[/u] as your recruiter. If you have any questions check out our [url=http://dropshock.net/helpdesk.php]FAQ section[/url].
