Subject: Dropshock Brigade :: Recruiting EU, AU, and NA

*NOTE: The Dropshock Brigade has a very diverse group of members. We have two Companies, three Platoons for Alpha and two for Bravo. Alpha Company is made up of our North American base (i.e. U.S./Canadians), while Bravo is made up of a Platoon of Europeans, and another of Australians. We take pride in having more than 50 active members, with a clan history of two and a half years. Help us continue to grow, as we cater to all personnel, no matter where they live! If you have questions, stop by our site or PM me on here/Xbox LIVE.

I. Basics

Introduction: We are the Dropshock Brigade. We are the best the UNSC has to offer. We are the protectors of earth and all of her colonies. We are the fastest, strongest, and craziest in the universe. We are an all volunteer outfit.

Motto: "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."


II. Enlistment

Enlisting: There are four easy steps for getting into the Brigade.

1. Register on the site. Please use your gamertag or something similar to it as your username.

2. After registering on the site, please view the Enlistment Example to get an idea of what we expect from you.

3. Then you may fill out the Enlistment Form and click submit after all of you're finished. Make sure to answer everything and read the page following the form.

4. Attain 100 merit. The merit system is a type of points system in which you are rewarded for posting in our forums. You also have to get a Sponsor, there will be more information on this when you enlist. You must complete this before taking your Boot Camp.

Merit Earnings

+3 merit per new thread
+2 merit per reply
+1 merit per shoutbox post

Failure to heed to a warning will result in loss of merit or overall denial of your enlistment request. Be sure to read our Forum Rules section in the Field Manual so you can understand this.

III. What We Have To Offer
Ribbons - 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.

Promotions - Promotions in the Dropshock Brigade are given upon either the completion of a training, or the achievement of a quota. Be active, loyal, show leadership, take the initiative, etc. and you may just receive a promotion. Do NOT ask for a promotion. Doing so will most likely result in a demotion or loss of merit.

Organization - We are a well organized clan with a Roster. Personnel are organized into divisions based upon where they live, and what timezone they are in. We have a wide variety of forums to discuss different things with other members.

Gaming - Unlike a lot of clans, we do actually play games with members. We play Matchmaking a lot, the playlist varying on how many members are on. If we begin to get seven to eight or more players, we switch over to custom games and have fun. We're both competitive and recreational, and have custom game nights at 10 PM EST on Saturdays.
