[[File:promoted.jpg|400px|thumb|Promoted]]

It's official! You're now apart of the Company and a full time member in Coalition's ranks. Gone are the days of only taking certain roles in sessions and being treated like you don't know your ass from your head (hopefully). That being said, you now have responsibilities and expectations.

== Your new features ==
Here is a list of new community features available to you:
===XMLs===
You now have access to XMLs in game which show your rank and give you access to other roles such as specialties. 

[http://www.coalitiongroup.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15 Apply for your XML here].

'''NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE A XML SETUP IF YOU WISH TO SLOT ANYTHING OTHER THAN RECRUIT ROLES'''.

===Forums===
[http://www.coalitiongroup.net/forums/ You now can see the Company forums listed here].

===Custom Faces===
[http://www.coalitiongroup.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=485 Apply for a custom face here].

==Role Unlocks==
During session you're now able to slot as:
====Leadership====
<pre>
Fireteam Leader
Squad Medic
</pre>

====General Infantry====
<pre>
Fireteam Leader (FTL)
Automatic Rifleman (AR)
</pre>

====Specialties====
<pre>
Attack Helicopter Pilot
Attack Helicopter Co-Pilot

Transport Helicopter Pilot
Transport Helicopter Co-Pilot
Transport Helicopter Crew chief

Armor Commander
Armor Gunner
Armor Driver

MMG Team Leader
MMG Team Gunner
MMG Team Ammo-bearer

MAT Team Leader
MAT Team Gunner
MAT Team Ammo-bearer
</pre>

== Expectations of you ==
Now that you're a Grunt and have been given access to more play-ability and features, more is also expected of you.
===Leading===
As soon as you feel you are ready, you '''need''' to begin leading fireteams. If you feel as though you're not ready, remember that you can now slot as AR's who are second-in-command within fireteams. This gives you the ability to see other leadership styles and potentially be thrust into the FTL role ''if'' your FTL catches a bullet to the neck. To begin solidifying your understanding of how leading is performed here, take some time to read into pages such as these from our training archives:<br>

[[Leading_and_Being_Led]]<br>
[[Formations]]<br>
[[Vehicle_Identification]]

===Content Creation===
Finally, no community is complete without content. While Headquarters' main role is to ensure the operation of the community as a whole, it is the Company's responsibility to ensure there's community engagement and content at all times during sessions or otherwise. This now begins to fall on your shoulders. One of the best ways to begin this is [http://coalitiongroup.net/wiki/index.php/Mission_Making_Tutorial Mission Design]. Other forms of content creation:

Learning to Script (SQF)

<pre>
Have held the rank of Grunt for at least 1 month
Have been a member of coalition for at least 3 months
Have a firm understanding of how fireteam leading works
Have a firm understanding of tactics used in session(s)
