Ok, I was hesitant on making this thread...but here is the Official...

DIRTBOY SQUAD LEADING SECRETS

1. I always have two medics....no matter what. Even if I have 3 ppl in my Squad...I want that extra insurance that I can get revived.

2. If I have a full Squad I have the following.
a. (Armor map) 2 medics, 1 rifleman, 2 AT
b. (Infantry map) 2 medics, 1 rifleman, 1 AT, 1 support.

3. Always on the attack but defend when needed.

4. Listen to your Sqaud members...they know what is going on around you. I dont know about the other SL's but I am ALWAYS looking at the map.

5. Let you members roam...but not too far. I dont like the whole "bunching up around the SL" thing. But at the same time, remind them what the objective is.

6. Dont let Sq. members change kits w/o your permission. If you cant count on having your troopers reviving you or re-arming everyone...what good are they. At the same time, if the time is right, grant permission to use the right kit at the right time.

7. NO FRICKING SNIPERS!!!! Snipers, in my Opinion, are total "ME" players.

8. Let some non-TG members in. I always let non-TG members join my squad, it gives the community good reputation and at the same time you gain some REAL QUALITY players.

9. VOIP optional. Some people don't use a mic...or cant afford one. As long as the acknowledge me, that is A-OK in my book.

And most of all...HAVE FUN ! I always have lively conversations with my squadmates when we are on long marches thru thick jungles or hot deserts. We talk about everything from music to life in general...I will even plug "TG" in there somewhere. But when the time arises, stop the chatter and get down to business.

I realize most of you know this...and if not take some notes. I dont want to sound arrogant or conceded, but I consider myself a excellent SL and I pride myself in always having top flight Squads.
