United Nations Army Training Procedure for Recruits (Enlisted)

Part One Introduction and Basics

Training will start by welcoming the Recruit(s) to UNA Basic Training. You will then introduce yourself and any other spectators and/or supervisors in the room by rank and name. Explain to them that you will be training them about basic knowledge within UNA, which will help them fulfil their duties as an enlisted member. If you prefer, you may request that Recruits remain seated and quiet throughout training, unless instructed. This will assist you in completing their training without interruption, optimising the time and effectiveness of your training and stopping annoyances that are common when training new members. If a Recruit or number of Recruits are playing up, being disrespectful, not following orders or in any way breaking the UNA Code of Conduct, it is advised that you give one warning that their training will be ceased and they will not pass if their behaviour continues. If the offence or any other offence is repeated it is necessary to fail their training and have an admin kick them out if they do not leave. This recruit(s) will be unable to take UNA basic training for another 24 hours, and this must be recorded in the training log along with the time of expiry, reason they were failed, the name of the trainer and, if applicable, the supervisor of the trainer. If the Recruit decides to retake training after this 24 hour period they will be under strict watch, and if training is failed again they will be banned from joining UNA, and may be put on the Kick on Sight (KOS) list by an admin if they feel it is necessary. Throughout the training one or more recruits may get bored and leave, disconnect, or may need to leave. Do not get frustrated, give them another chance if they try to retake training, if they are no longer interested in joining UNA, be patient and respectful of their wishes and allow them to leave, do not force them to join because if they do not want to work they will work to a very low standard.

Part Two Commands

As enlisted ranks, Recruits will need to know the basic commands used within UNA. Note that using the stickies provided in the train room are optional, and you may prefer not to use them if you are dealing with a recruit who may benefit from a more direct approach, such as somebody who does not speak English fluently. First and foremost, it is important, for time and efforts sake, to ask the Recruit(s) if they have any previous army experience. If they do, it will be helpful for you because you will not be required to be as thorough as you would need to be if the recruit had no experience. This procedure will outline the method of training somebody who has not had previous military experience, therefore you will be required to lower the detail of the training yourself if you feel that the recruit has higher expectations of already knowing and understanding the content of your training.

When you are ready to start, ask the recruits to read the top two stickies on the wall. These stickies only list the commands and do not explain them, so when the recruits have finished reading the stickies it is advised to go through each command in detail so that the recruits fully understand them. When the stickies have been read and explain, offer the recruits a chance to ask any questions regarding these commands and answer them to the best of your ability. Your supervisor may help you answer questions that you do not know the answer to. Once you are confident that the recruits have fully understood the commands necessary for Enlisted members (Use your common sense, a Private does not necessarily need to understand CTB yet), you must give them a test to make double sure that these commands can be followed back in the HQ. The test may be given as you see fit, for members of previous experience, the above content may be completely skipped, straight to a quick test to ensure their understanding. Other members may need to be tested more systematically. Below is a guide to a basic Command Test, this is how I go about the test, however, this is just a guide as the test may be different every time according to the preference of the trainer. FTB, FTF, FTB, FTF, (SF, AE Repeat until its fast) GG, FTF, GG, FTB, FTF, SF, AE. This can be repeated as many times as you see fit depending on how quickly the recruits can put these commands into action. When you are satisfied with the recruits performance in this test, ask them if they have any final questions, and once again answer them as well as you can.

Part Three Code of Conduct

It is very important that all members of UNA know, understand and follow the UNA Code of Conduct from an early rank, so that by the time they have risen to a rank where they must enforce the rules, they should know them like the back of their hand and know the punishments involved when they are broken. By this system, Commissioned Officers and above should be fully able to act as an admin if none are available. Make sure the recruits read through the Code of Conduct (Bottom two stickies), and instruct them to do so CAREFULLY. This will prevent any breaking or misunderstanding of rules being impugned on you not making sure the recruits fully understood the Code of Conduct while they were being trained. You may or may not wish to test the recruits on the Code of Conduct; however, if they have read them through thoroughly enough, you will not need to. Ask the recruits if they have any questions involving the Code of Conduct, it is important that the recruits completely understand the code, as mentioned above, so any questions you cannot answer, make sure your supervisor does. I cannot stress enough that the recruits need to apprehend the Code of Conduct. When you are absolutely positive that the Code of Conduct has been taught clearly to the recruits, you must explain to them the punishments involved when these rules are broken, and make sure they are aware that these are based on the severity of their actions; a strike is a warning and will not be given for major offences.

Part Four Ranks

Enlisted members will need to know the importance, duties and rights of all ranks in UNA. The rank groups, along with their shirt colours, rights and responsibilities are listed below. These need to be explained to the recruits. Enlisted: The lowest rank group, Olive shirts, responsible for recruiting, helping with motto, badge and uniform, following orders from higher ranks. Specialists+ have the right to receive pay on a daily basis if they can make pay time. Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO): In charge of enlisted members, long sleeved Olive shirts, responsible for making sure enlisted ranks are doing their job properly and doing the right thing. They must keep the enlisted ranks in order, and may need to do some recruiting if UNA is busy or enlisted members are not present. NCOs have the right to give orders to enlisted members, instruct them on recruiting, and report breaches of the code of conduct to Officers. Warrant Officers (WO): Light Blue Shirt, Keep the lower end of ranks in rank order, give direct orders to NCO and make sure they are correctly advising enlisted members. The main role of a WO is to help Enlisted or NCO members with anything they are unsure of, and keep an eye on how recruiting is going. Commissioned Officers (CO): White Shirt, Commissioned Officers keep the army running, keep the front row looking tidy and in rank order, recommend members for promotion or demotion, enforce the code of conduct, and deal with any trouble makers. They have the right to give strikes, but not any other punishment, give orders to any WO, NCO or enlisted, order a Front and Centre, and Command the Base if an admin requires them to. Secretaries and Ministers (Sec. and Min.): Dark Blue and Light Green respectively, Secretaries and Ministers are higher ranks in UNA and are usually not required to fulfil most of the duties of the ranks below them. They are usually part of, or 2iC of, a department of UNA, and their main role is to make sure that the HQ is running well, and everybody is doing their job right. Secretaries are mainly the people who are called on by admins to fulfil certain tasks that need to be carried out, and ministers are usually called on to oversee these tasks. Section Commanders (Comm.): Grey shirts, Section Commanders are used to specifically oversee each rank group in UNA, and deal with anything regarding these specific rank groups. They have the right to make any changes to the members of these ranks, including fixing disputes between members of the same rank group. Admins: Black shirts, the most highly respected ranks in UNA, they are never to be disrespected or argued with. Admins give the final word on anything, and are usually commanding the base, getting everything in order and co-ordinating all operations in the base. They solve disputes, handle breached of the code of conduct, and other administrative tasks. They have the right to do anything within reason and anything an admin does wrong is dealt with by a Senior Admin.

Part Five Ending Training

Give the recruits one last chance to ask any questions about any aspect of UNA, and answer to the best of your ability. When you are 100% sure that the recruits have been satisfactorily trained and would be valuable workers at UNA, you are to decide whether the recruits performance in training

was unsatisfactory, satisfactory or outstanding. If it was unsatisfactory, you need to inform them that they will need to be retrained by somebody who is a higher rank then you, and send them back to HQ. If you are an admin it is advisable to simply follow the procedure for training failure outlined in Part One of this guide. If the recruit was satisfactory, congratulate them and give them the rank of Private, motto: l[UNA]l Private {T/(Your promo tag. If you are not admin leave as just T)]. If the recruit was outstanding, congratulate them and award them with the Private First Class rank, motto: l[UNA]l PFC {T/(Your promo tag. If you are not admin leave as just T)]. Once all mottos are finished and correct instruct the recruits to go back to base. Also note that in enlisted ranks, the first promotion of these Privates or Private First Classes is to be a promotion of two ranks. Private is promoted to Specialist and Private First Class is promoted to Corporal. All promotions after this are for Officers+ to decide. Congratulations, you have trained a new batch of recruits ready to give something to the United Nations Army!
