Resolution 0009: Allowing Players to Occupy Assistant Positions

Resolution to open assistant positions and Assignment of New Cadets to Assistant Positions.

Vote: Unanimous - Aye

1) *All* new cadets, at the time of this resolution, would hereafter be assigned to an assistant position until such time as their skills, commitment and knowledge of the game can be determined, as yet left to the discretion of the CO.
**This is to prevent future misunderstandings.**

2) Assistant positions will be added to the following departments:
FCO
CEO
CSciO
Sec/Tac (or Sec, Tac)
Cns
CMO

3) The player already in the Department Head position should have sufficient experience to assist the new player in the "ins and outs" of the full position. The CO should assist as much as possible but emphasis should be placed on teaching the player in the department head position the basics of command and leadership -- for future use in the Exo or Ops positions.

4) Seniority:
**A new graduate should NEVER be placed in a department head position above an existing player in the assistant position, on the same ship. Consideration should be given to players with extended time in the assistant position on another ship. (i.e. A promotion, to the department head position that leads to a transfer to another ship for.)
