National Guard
National Guard
The Army National Guard (ARNG) is one component of the Army (which consists of the Active Army, the Army National Guard and the Army Reserves). The Army National Guard is composed primarily of traditional Guardsmencivilians who serve their country, state and community on a part-time basis (usually one weekend each month and two weeks during the summer.) Each state, territory and the District of Columbia has its own National Guard, as provided for by the Constitution of the United States. The National Guard Bureau (NGB) was formed to assist the states, territories and District of Columbia to procure funding for the Guard, administer policies and act as a liaison between the Departments of the Army and Air Force and individual states. The NGB is a joint bureau of the Departments of the Army and Air Force, and functions in both a staff and an operating capacity for each component. Army National Guard units are based in communities and are located in every state and territory. When you become a member of the Guard, you serve where you live. Many cities and towns have their own armory where the National Guard conducts training. This means you can join one of the Army National Guard units right in your hometown or wherever you want to live. The Guard has more than 3,600 units located in more than 2,700 communities across the 54 states and territories. Each state has a unique force structure and a varying number of units, personnel, armories and Army training sites.

Serving a minimum of one weekend a month and two weeks per year for annual training, National Guard Soldiers are unique because they are rooted in the communities of all 50 states and four territories. The National Guard has dual missions, state and federal.

Tips for Protecting Your Property

Event Personal property is also at risk at the events. All event staff should leave their personal property in their car or at home. RedPeg Marketing and/or Team Lucid are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items. COMMON SENSE is the best defense to avoid theft. Please take these necessary steps to avoid opportunistic theft. 1. Lock your vehicle doors, close all windows and take the keys. 2. Dont leave valuables (including identification, computers, etc.) in plain view event for a few minutes. Items left in the open attract thieves. 3. Dont leave important documents or equipment; thieves can use or gain access to sensitive information. 4. Never leave your vehicle running unattended. 5. If you have a GPS system, it is not enough to put it in the glove compartment when exiting the vehicle. A GPS mount is an indicator there is a GPS system in the vehicle. Please make sure to take the mount down and bring the GPS system with you.
65
65

Its critical that you realize everything that you do while executing the tour will be a reflection upon the National Guard and the 3on-3 Basketball program. Please be aware that you will be viewed as a National Guard, Lucid Technology and RedPeg Marketing representative when you are in the field but also when you are:
Driving Pumping gas Eating at a restaurant Checking into a hotel Shopping Etc.
In summary, please be cognizant that your actions are a representation of the brand at all times. As a part-time field staff member, you will be required to not only be your brand, but actually know your brand thoroughly. If a participant asks whether you are in the National Guard, the correct response is No, I am a civilian working on behalf of the National Guard. At no point should you tell anyone that you are in the National Guard.
LIVE IT, BREATH IT, KNOW IT!!!

Inclement Weather Policy

It is your responsibility as a Brand Ambassador to be aware of the weather conditions. Unless notified by a Team Lucid Tour Manager or representative, please assume that the event will be activated as scheduled. Check the weather prior to the event to ensure that you are adequately prepared for inclement weather. Communicate any concerns at the earliest opportunity to your designated Tour Manager. Unfortunately, the timing of many weather events is such that we have to make decisions based upon forecasts and the available information. While no sources dealing with weather predictions can be considered infallible, decisions are made with one overriding considerationthe safety of our employees and the general public. If at any time during an event you feel that the weather conditions are unsafe, please discuss your concerns with a Tour Manager immediately. In the case of emergency please reach out to the designated Team Lucid Talent Management Representative. Address all weather concerns with the designated Tour Manager at the earliest opportunity. In tandem with Team Lucid, he or she will determine the recommended course of action.
72
Inclement Weather
Intermediate-Level Weather Conditions Including Heavy Rain, gusty winds, lightning and severe weather watches. The weather forecast should be monitored carefully. If the conditions warrant the event set to be dismantled then this should occur no less than two hours prior to the anticipated storm to ensure the safety of the personnel and equipment. Severe storms are normally preceded by clear skies and good weather. Its important to take advantage of these circumstances to take the necessary protective steps to minimize the risk of damage to the equipment. If the course of action is to fully dismantle the tent the following steps should be taken: Turn of all electrical components Disconnect the shore power Take down the banner stands Place all electronic equipment including monitors in their designated road cases Dismantle the tent walls and canopy Place the tent poles on the ground Move all equipment and elements to the safety of the GEICO truck
73
Consumer Interaction
The goal is to reach as many consumers as possible. However, it is understood that not all of them will have the time to stop and experience all levels of the experience. Understanding these varying levels of interest will help the team impact each consumer based on their own personal level of interest. For these reasons, consumers have been classified into three different levels: Type I Consumer
These are consumers whose interest level is high. They will need no persuasion to take part in the experiences and will actively participate in all aspects of the tour. They become the unofficial spokesperson of the brand and the tour
Type II Consumer
These are consumers whose interest level is medium to high. They will look for more information but they may or may not choose to participate in any of the experiential activities. Faceto-face interaction and encouragement are key between the Brand Ambassadors and this type of consumers.
Type III Consumer

These are consumers whose interest is low to medium. Due to lack of time or interest, they will not actively participate in the experience. They may notice the promotion but they will not stop and get involved. The goal would be to encourage them to visit the website and participate in one experiential activity.
75
75
The ultimate goal is to turn every student into a Type I Student. In order to do this, the team objectives are the following: Get students attention by greeting them with energy, enthusiasm and a smile Inform the student about the National Guard 3-on-3 Basketball Program Introduce the student to the National Guard benefits Communicate and educate student with key messaging
Prizes and additional contests Gaming lounge and Activity Court Benefits of joining the National Guard
Encourage the students to visit the website get additional information

NATIONALGUARD.com/basketball NATIONALGUARD.com
Always thank them for their time
While these steps should serve as a guide on how to relay key brand messages to students, each interaction should not only be informative but should be friendly, easy going and conversational as well.
76
Remember to try and personalize each interaction!
76
The following are recommended steps Brand Ambassadors should use when directing consumers through the experience.
Step #1: Greet consumer Step #2: State key brand messages Step #3: Call to action
While these steps should serve as a guide on how to relay key brand messages to consumers, each interaction should not only be informative but should be friendly, easy going and conversational as well. Remember to try and personalize each interaction!
77
77
Never: Change any aspect of the program without prior communication with Team Lucid Talk negatively about competitive services, events, products or military branches Promise additional events, premiums, or anything that cannot be provided throughout the program Answer a question to which you are not sure of the answer. Never adlib or make-up answers to appear informed, call Team Lucid for assistance.
Consumers who have questions regarding specific benefits provided by the National Guard should be directed to the NATIONALGUARD.com website
78
78
Build a consumer relationship
Greet the consumer with a smile Begin building the relationship Show an interest in the consumer observe, ask, look and listen for clues as to the consumers interests Build rapport and relate Remember that rapport building takes only a few seconds but can make all the difference in creating a positive consumer interaction
Know Your Audience

Knowing the audience means youll be prepared, know what questions to ask and be able to speak to the likely interests of that audience Your role is to engage consumers by asking qualifying questions
Sample qualifying questions

Did you know that you can earn up to $650 per month in the National Guard while you are enrolled in college? Wouldnt it be great to have the National Guard pay up to 100% of your tuition ? How cool would it be to serve your community and your country?

Recaps & Reporting
Taking Great Photos

Taking great digital photos is very important as it helps Team Lucid paint a picture of the events being executed. While Tour Managers are responsible for taking photos on event day, they may enlist the assistance of a Brand Ambassador during busy activation times. Following are tips for taking great pictures:
Set the camera to the highest quality setting and the largest file size Get close to the people. The person or entire group should fill the frame People smiling and having fun Crop out most of the foreground and background Brand Ambassadors, consumers, brand and the action comprise main focal point Whenever possible, capture the brand, program elements and consumers in the photos Search out colorful displays and colorful characters Make sure no fingers are blocking the view finder Look for the light source and never shoot with the light directly behind the subject Try posing cooperative subjects Fill the frame with action, - include background detail that identifies the location or activity Be creative and encourage consumers to take fun shots Take digital photos that show crowds and groups of people, smiling and enjoying the promotion with a lot of action and activity

Examples of Great Photos

Examples of Unusable Photos
Cant see the sampler or consumers face - cant see what is going on.
Sampling in an open (not crowded) place. Also, too much unused space at the top of the picture.
Very dark picture, sampling far away. Cant see what is going on.
Be careful to always watch out for glares when taking pictures.

Purpose of Form
A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA. Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to: 1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued), 2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or 3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners share of effectively connected income.
Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requesters form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9. Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are: An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, An estate (other than a foreign estate), or A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income.

The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases: The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity, The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust. Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities). Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a saving clause. Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items: 1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien. 2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions. 4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. 5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article. Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8. What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS a percentage of such payments. This is called backup withholding. Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding. You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.
Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See the instructions below and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9. Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1.
Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.
Penalties
Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty. Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment. Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.
Specific Instructions
Name
If you are an individual, you must generally enter the name shown on your income tax return. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance, due to marriage without informing the Social Security Administration of the name change, enter your first name, the last name shown on your social security card, and your new last name. If the account is in joint names, list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of the form. Sole proprietor. Enter your individual name as shown on your income tax return on the Name line. You may enter your business, trade, or doing business as (DBA) name on the Business name/disregarded entity name line. Partnership, C Corporation, or S Corporation. Enter the entity's name on the Name line and any business, trade, or doing business as (DBA) name on the Business name/disregarded entity name line. Disregarded entity. Enter the owner's name on the Name line. The name of the entity entered on the Name line should never be a disregarded entity. The name on the Name line must be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income will be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a domestic owner, the domestic owner's name is required to be provided on the Name line. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity's name on the Business name/disregarded entity name line. If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, you must complete an appropriate Form W-8. Note. Check the appropriate box for the federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on the Name line (Individual/sole proprietor, Partnership, C Corporation, S Corporation, Trust/estate). Limited Liability Company (LLC). If the person identified on the Name line is an LLC, check the Limited liability company box only and enter the appropriate code for the tax classification in the space provided. If you are an LLC that is treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes, enter P for partnership. If you are an LLC that has filed a Form 8832 or a Form 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, enter C for C corporation or S for S corporation. If you are an LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner under Regulation section 301.7701-3 (except for employment and excise tax), do not check the LLC box unless the owner of the LLC (required to be identified on the Name line) is another LLC that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. If the LLC is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the appropriate tax classification of the owner identified on the Name line.
Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester, 2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details), 3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN, 4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or 5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).
93
W9
Other entities. Enter your business name as shown on required federal tax documents on the Name line. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on the Business name/ disregarded entity name line.
Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below. If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN. If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited Liability Company (LLC) on page 2), enter the owners SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entitys EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entitys EIN. Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations. How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676). If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, write Applied For in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester. Note. Entering Applied For means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. Caution: A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.
Exempt Payee
If you are exempt from backup withholding, enter your name as described above and check the appropriate box for your status, then check the Exempt payee box in the line following the Business name/ disregarded entity name, sign and date the form. Generally, individuals (including sole proprietors) are not exempt from backup withholding. Corporations are exempt from backup withholding for certain payments, such as interest and dividends. Note. If you are exempt from backup withholding, you should still complete this form to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding. The following payees are exempt from backup withholding: 1.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, social security number (SSN), or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund. To reduce your risk: Protect your SSN, Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and Be careful when choosing a tax preparer. If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter. If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039. For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance. Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059. Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts. If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@uce.gov or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338). Visit IRS.gov to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.
