Quick Session Information
Date: Saturday, April 26th,
Time: 12:00AM EDT
Be on Teamspeak By: 11:45AM EDT
Server: IP/Password Given in Teamspeak
Module: 2142 conquest squad leading
Number of Students: 15
Qualification Badge: /

Basic badge is awarded upon completion of the theory class. Adv. badge is awarded by the instructor upon completion of in-game tests.

Ground Rules:
CHECK FIRE! Once on the server, hold your fire until specifically instructed to do so. This is very important so that your instructor can address everyone without background noise of weapons fire or explosions.
Listen to your instructor and follow their directions. It is important that everyone listen to the instructor and be ready to follow instructions so that the material in the module can be covered in a timely manner. The more the instructor has to be off-topic the longer the module will take to complete.
Minimize Com Chatter. Questions are greatly encouraged as part of the learning process, but many people may have questions at once. If you have a question or comment, simply type a request such as "question" or "comment" in the in-game chat and your instructor will call on you and let you have the com when they are able.

How Spots Are Assigned:
The first priority will be given to Supporting Members above non-Supporting Members.
A reserve list will be made up when all the playing spots are filled. Supporting members, once again, have priority. When a player with a spot cancels, they will be replaced by the first person on the reserve list.
TGU basic training graduates and supporting members will be given preference when signing up, but neither is a requirement. Enrollment is at the instructor’s discretion.

How to Sign Up
IMPORTANT!
Players who no-show without notice for a session will be precluded from participating in the following session for the game where they were absent. Don't let your team mates down! Only sign up if you can make it. Because class spaces are limited, please don't take a spot unless you're confident you can play.

To sign up, please simply reply with the following two items of information:
1) In house squad (unaffiliated if none)
2) Your exact in-game name.
3) Completed TGU Basic training? (yes or no)
4) rough estimate of the time you have spent squad leading

Please reply to this message with the above information if you wish to sign up.
Players will be signed up on a first-come first-served basis.
Supporting Members get precendence in the order they sign up, then Non-Supporting Members afterwards. Your SM status at the time of signup determines which list you will be on. Once you post, you cannot become a SM later to work your way up the list.
You can pull out, but if you reconfirm, you will find yourself at the bottom of the roster.
You may not hand over your spot to another specific player. Your spot will be given to the next available player.

I believe there exists a typo in the Quick Session Info; should it not read "Time: 12:00PM EDT"?
It's not an entirely important mistake as there are ginormous red size 5 letters right above it that just scream "I supercede everything".
