ROSTER

III/JG11 SQUADRON RECRUITING

Becoming a member of the III/JG11 Squadron is no easy process.

Being a member requires dedication, participation and a willingness to be part of a team flying under a strict set of procedures and willingness to obey orders without question.

The Squadron has a set chain of command and follows a strict set of Standard Operating Procedures.

This Squadron is not for those that wish to fly as individuals with the intent of obtaining as many kills as possible. It is for those that wish to be an active part of a well drilled team flying primarily to ensure the safety of all members of the squadron and secondly in successfully completing the mission objectives and returning home alive.

The squadron pilot roster is set at sixteen; however, an applicant may be placed on a reserve list, where he maybe able to participate in general squadron activities but not in any online war exercises.

Those still interested in becoming a member must first be nominated by an existing member of the III/JG11 Squadron. This may seem harsh but we are very particular in who we fly with and unfortunately many people misrepresent themselves but eventually get caught out.

The applicant must be proficient in take off and landing procedures. This Squadron will train members in combat procedures but they must have some ability in being able to fly prior to joining.

The applicant must have a computer system capable of running the IL2 program efficiently. They must have the ability to use online voice communications.

Any nicknames the applicant have flown under and any Squadrons they have been a member of in the past must be disclosed at the time of application.

The applicant must reside in Australasia to facilitate convenient on line activities unless granted special permission to join.

Those lucky enough to be accepted will undergo a two-week probationary period at the rank of cadet. During this time the recruit will be given limited access to the III/JG11 forum as well as limited access to operational procedures.

The recruit will be required to fly a minimum of twelve hours in company of the training officer or a person nominated by the training officer. The recruit’s ability to follow procedures and general knowledge of the standard operating procedures will be assessed at the end of the probation period.

If in the opinion of the training staff the recruit is suitable for further training, a panel consisting of the Senior Command will interview him in an area set up for voice communications.

Once accepted the recruit will formally join the squadron at the lowest rank of “Unteroffizer” regardless of any “rank” held in previous squadrons. They will not be able to participate in any online War until they are able to demonstrate their knowledge of combat and Standard Operating Procedures.

As in all things in life there must be rules to abide by. The following are the main rules governing the squadron

The CO reserves the right to reject or accept any membership application.

You must provide a proper e-mail address and not a Hotmail or other type of generic e-mail address.

	Any abuse of Private information (e.g. others Email or postal address) by a member will result in immediate dismissal from the squad.
	Any Documentation raised by III/JG11 must not be released to anyone outside the squad without the express permission of the CO.

DISCIPLINE

	We do have a chain of command and acceptance of this chain is a condition of joining.
	III/JG11 operates SOPS and or any temporary instructions published from time to time by the CO. (These temporary orders are cancelled once incorporated in the next edition of SOPS). It is mandatory that all members are familiar with SOPS and the Tactical Supplement.
	Our general concept of operations is teamwork. The unit is more important than the individual.

BEHAVIOUR

Any member publicly embarrassing III/JG11 either by comment or unacceptable ON LINE etiquette will be subject to discipline. Gross breaches will result in dismissal. Again the arbiter in these circumstances will be a tribunal consisting of the CO and his deputies.

ON LINE

One of the prime reasons for our existence is the desire to fly against Human pilots in an historically correct fashion as possible.

Internal squadron campaigns will be flown against humans where possible and using full real settings where possible.

Operating to maximum reality settings (with PL on or Off) is Policy in III/JG11. Special occasions from time to time will be authorised with Icons enabled as and when required.

ENLISTMENT IN OTHER IL2 SQUADS

It is not acceptable to fly with any other IL2 squad than III/JG11. If you desire to fly with another squad then membership of III/JG11 must be forfeited.

LEAVE

If you cannot report for duty for a period exceeding 14 days you must advise the Senior Command or Administration Officer.

As you can see our Squadron requires a degree of dedication and a willingness to abide by the rules. It is this level of commitment that has attracted the current members to the III/JG11 Squadron and we anticipate that by embracing these rules and by actively participating in the Squadron activities that the applicant will become a valued member of III/JG11.
