Post Recruitment Guidance
The Division Commander is responsible for polishing, molding, training and educating the recruit on all [SA] Clan Guidelines and Divisional Teamwork Requirements. No Exceptions. Recruitment Success must be weighed on the Division Commander’s Actions and the Recruit’s Actions, equally. If a recruit washes out due to the actions of that recruit, the Division Commander must endeavor that Positive Actions and Interactions must be made and handled in such a manner as to learn from the situation and ensure it is handled better in the future.
Probation Period and Fleet Service Worthiness
