  2019 Community Review
Posted by: B. Horner - 11-11-2019, 12:28 AM - Replies (7)

EDIT: The form and the latest date to reply to this form goes up until 20DEC19. There is no rush to respond to this and multiple notifications will go out.

We've nearly wrapped up 2019 and it has been quite the year. 

We've seen many people come and go. We've seen extensive reworking of the Company. We've seen a lot of change.

The annual community review serves to give everyone a chance to share their opinion. 

This form is extensive and will take some time to complete, and a bit longer if you are opinionated.

Please make ALL and ANY suggestions and comments that you have. I'd rather leave no stone unturned and question everything we do, as it will make us better for the future.

You can only fill out the form once, so don't submit it until you're completely happy with your answers.

Find the form here: https://forms.gle/p2RzTXYk7zryfXHRA

Additionally, there will be an end of year meeting on 21DEC19 at 1900 hrs UTC+0. All Officers and NCOs are expected to attend and Other Ranks have the option to (highly advised).

There is a lot on the agenda to talk about. If you have anything you want to bring up, please reply down below so I can schedule it into the meeting at an appropriate point (or you can bring it up at the time, but this may ruin the flow of the session).

  Daylight Saving Time Ends 2019
Posted by: B. Horner - 10-13-2019, 12:47 PM - No Replies

This is a forewarning that on Sunday 27th October 2019 at 0200 hrs UK clocks will go BACKWARDS one hour to 0100. This will be represented in our event posts by changing UTC+1 to UTC.

A lot of countries do not have their daylight saving switch at the same time as the UK (some have already ended theirs) so please ensure that you are aware of this time change.

The event on Sunday 27th October 2019 will be the first event to notice this change.

If you can confirm if this has any effect in your timezone please reply below. I don't believe many EU countries will notice a difference, but US and AU will.

  Would you like to be a Platoon Sergeant?
Posted by: B. Horner - 09-26-2019, 11:23 PM - Replies (1)

Hi all,

With Barden recently commissioning it has freed up the second Platoon Sergeant position within Red Devils. I would like to take this time to advertise both No.4 and Weapons Platoon Sergeant positions. 

If you would like to apply for this position you should know the following:

  • what the role requires
  • how to apply for the role
  • the standard of application required
If you do not feel you know the above three points, please re-consider if applying is the best choice you can make. If you would like any additional guidance then speak to either Barden, Carrick, or myself and we can point you in the right direction.
