Promotions and Activity

Promotions are done every 2nd and 4th week of every month and generally depend on activity within the community, contributions to the community, and ability to learn and grow as a leader. Keep in mind that the "triangle theory" is used for ranks in the community. This means there must always be more grunts than soldiers, soldiers than veterans, etc...

Recruit -> Grunt

Promotion from Recruit to Grunt is based on administrative decision. After attending sessions on a normal basis and showing up outside of sessions, Headquarters will promote you as soon as possible to Grunt status. Simply stay active, show a willingness to learn, and show that you want to play at Coalition.
