Promotion Policies Changes in DJO Ranks The DJO has been growing and has evolved into three main areas “DJO Staff”, TFA, and TRA. With this the numbers of members has grown. This is also a contributing factor to the low attrition rate that we are experanceing. With a low attrition rate the “High Command” was faced with three issues. First of which is how do we reward members for outstanding service, war performance, longevity of service, ect… Traditionally we have awarded the membership with promotions in rank and position. By using this as our incentive for members we have created the other two problems. The first of which is that we have run out of positions for the membership that have performed above and beyond the call of duty.. So we still promote them because we have nothing else to give them. By doing that we then lower the attrition rate that we would experience thus causing the proverbial “log jam” in the ranks. In other words, we get top heavy with Sr. Officers. There are a few ways to fix these problems three of which need to be implemented as quickly as possible. First: The addition of new ranks to the organization. The existing ranks are shown below in Table 1. The new ranks are basically the addition of 4 new enlisted ranks. These are shown below in Table 2. By adding the additional ranks that would give us more flexibility to award promos without getting into the current situation we are faced with. Current Ranks In DJO Top Down Officer Ranks: Top Down Enlisted Ranks: Grand Admiral Chief Flight Officer GAXO and CoS Senior Flight Officer Fleet Admiral Flight Officer Admiral Chief Pilot Vice Admiral Senior Pilot Rear Admiral Pilot Commodore Pilot Recruit Navy Captain Commander Lt. Commander Lieutenant Lt. Jr. Grade Ensign Table 1 Purposed Ranks In DJO(NEW IN RED) Top Down Officer Ranks: Top Down Enlisted Ranks: Grand Admiral Master Chief Flight Officer GAXO and CoS Senior Chief Flight Officer Fleet Admiral Chief Flight Officer Admiral Senior Flight Officer Vice Admiral Flight Officer Rear Admiral Master Chief Pilot Commodore Senior Chief Pilot Navy Captain Chief Pilot Commander Senior Pilot Lt. Commander Pilot Lieutenant Pilot Recruit Lt. Jr. Grade Ensign The second part of the changes that will occur is the addition of more positions in the fleets these positions would be XO positions. The positions are Wing XO and Fleet XO. By adding these positions we accomplish many things. Some of things that this will accomplish are the ability for the Wings and Fleets to function in the absence of the FA or WC. In addition this gives us the ability to promote members to more positions and also groom the future leaders of the TFA/TRA/DJO under the guidance of experienced leaders. The third item that is happening is the communication and enforcement of the promotion policy. The “High Command” has determined that we can not allow the promotion of members “just because they have been here a long time” type reasons. Along that line DJO staff promotions will be handled in a new fashion, for every DJO Staff member who is put up for a promotion will have to have approval from their Chain of Command and final approval from me. Also no staff member will be promoted beyond the max rank of the position that they hold in the fleets. For example: If a Dept. Head in the DJO is a Flight leader and hold the rank of Lt. and is put in for a promo in the DJO to LtC they will not receive it because they are a FL and the max rank of a FL is LT unless a wavier is granted from the HC. Below is the Official DJO Promo Policy this policy, this policy like any other policy can be overridden by the “High Command” with an official waiver. DJO Promotion Policy All members are subject to the policy outlined below; any and all exceptions to this policy must receive four of the six “High Command” members. The “High Command” consists of the Grand Admiral, Grand Admiral Executive Officer, Chief of Staff, TFA Fleet Admiral, TRA Fleet Admiral, and Judge Advocate General. Promotions are awarded for many different reasons and to that end limits are in place to ensure fairness across all lines. The limits are not restrictive for a member who maintains “average participation” in the DJO and DJO sponsored events. For members that excel above and beyond the call of duty promotions and other awards will be given. A pilot should be able to move from Pilot Recruit to Lt. Commander within a year. Specific limits are applied to the following: Two Ranks may be awarded for “Event” (Wars ect..) participation. Limit one per event. Two Ranks may be awarded for meritorious service to the DJO as a whole. One Rank may be awarded for appointment to a special force or job. (DJO Staff Position, RG, JK, Ect..) Promotions awarded for positional advancement will be awarded according to the position and the rank of the person who is being submitted for the promotion in accordance with the the following Enlisted Rank Officer Rank Pilot Recruit None Pilot None Senior Pilot None Chief Pilot None Senior Chief Pilot None Master Chief Pilot None Flight Officer None Senior Flight Officer Ensign Chief Flight Officer Lieutenant Jr. Grade Senior Chief Flight Officer Lieutenant Master Chief Flight Officer Lt. Commander Positional Rank Ranges: Flight Officer: Ensign to Lieutenant (minimum 2 months service) Squad XO: Lieutenant to Commander (min. 4 months service) Squad CO: Commander to Navy Captain (min. 6 months service, 2 as an XO) Wing XO: Commander to Vice Admiral (min. 6 months service, 2 as Squad CO) Wing CO: Navy Captain to Admiral (min 8 months service, 2 as Squad CO or Wing XO) Fleet XO: Vice Admiral to Rear Admiral (min 1 year service 3 as Wing CO) Fleet CO: Fleet Admiral (min 14 months service, 5 as Wing CO or Fleet XO).

By Major-General N. BEKLEMZSHEFF, lrnpniol .Russian Aimy, President of.thc Russian lmpeiial Navy League. IT is a well-known fact that many British sailors have served in the Imperial Russian Navy and that they distinguished themselves in such a manner that they were an honour to the country of their adoption. Of these the most illustrious career is that of a Scot, named Samuel Greig, born 1736. Thanks to ori inal documents which were found in the' family archives of f3 rince Esper Oukhtomsky, Editor of the Sf. I'icdo+osfy, a relative of the famous Scot on his maternal side, we are in a position to throw some interesting light on the life of Samuel Greig and the part he played in the Kussian service. -. Prior to entering'the Russian Navy, Greig, then a Lieuten- ant in the Navy of His Britannic Majesty King George 111., applied to the Admiralty for leave to do so.

Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author. A Fleet in Being: Austro-Hungarian Warships of WWI Introduction From 1904 to 1913, Admiral Graf Rudolf Montecuccoli was Commander in Chief of the Austro- Hungarian Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine (Imperial and Royal War Fleet). Montecuccoli was a driving force behind the modernisation of the fleet, in which he was helped by support from Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He was succeeded in 1913 by Admiral Anton Haus, who became the only active duty officer not a member of the Imperial house to be given the rank of Grand Admiral, in 1916. He died of pneumonia in February 1917 and was succeeded as commander in chief by Admiral Maximilian Njegovan. After the mutiny at Cattaro, Njegovan was retired on the 1st of March 1918, replaced by Rear Admiral Miklós Horthy. The navy's main ports were Pola, Trieste, and Cattaro, while the Naval Academy was in Fiume. The navy's ships were supplied primarily by Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino (STT) in Trieste, Cantiere Navale Triestino (CNT) in Monfalcone, Whitehead in Fiume, and Danubius (a company set up and subsidised by the Hungarian government) also based in Fiume.

  • Of All the High-Ranking German Military Leaders, Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz
    from GreyFalcon Website Of all the high-ranking German military leaders, Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz is the most often overlooked, and yet he may have been the most crucial for the story of Nazi survival and continued secret weapons research. After all, the secret preparations and voyage of the U-234 to Japan, with its precious cargo of enriched uranium and infrared fuses, could not likely have taken place without his express knowledge, participation, and authorization. Thus, outside Kammler's "think tank", he was perhaps the one military leader of a conventional service arm to know the full extent of Nazi Germany's actual advances in atom bomb and other nuclear research. Best known for his orchestration of the Nazi U-boat campaign against British, Canadian, and American shipping, his alleged role in the various survival myths is little known outside a small circle of UFOlogy and World War Two researchers. And of all the Nazi military leaders, his selection by Adolf Hitler as the second Führer of the Third Reich is, at best, problematical, unless viewed in the light of these late war technology transfers and escaping Nazis. Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz Last President of a United Germany from GreyFalcon Website For a few brief weeks during late April and May of 1945, a leader of Europe came to power, an honorable man, respected even within the military councils of the Allies. That man was Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz , commander-in-chief of the German Navy, in overall command of German military forces in the north, and at that tense moment engaged in arranging sea and other transportation for the masses of refugees fleeing from the eastern areas.

  • GORN RANK INSIGNIA Gorn Officer Insignia Comes in a Bewildering Array of Emblems
    GORN RANK INSIGNIA Gorn officer insignia comes in a bewildering array of emblems. All take the classic oval “egg” shape. Admirals have this trimmed in gold, STARSHIP CREWS ENGINEER SCIENTIFIC ADMIRAL-IN-CHIEF officers in copper, and enlisted (LINE OFFICERS) TECHNICAL AND MEDICAL personnel in red. Each insignia has three elements: background color, branch emblem, and rank pips. The background color is blue for space, green for ground troops, and purple for scientific, medical, and other special officers such as lawyers. FIGHTER PILOTS PF CREWS GROUND TROOPS GRAND ADMIRAL Scientists and doctors have a round disk; others use the “engineer- technical” octagon. The branch emblem is always yellow, and is a diamond for starship crews (a smaller diamond for gunboats), COMMODORE MAJOR GENERAL VICE ADMIRAL FLEET ADMIRAL and eight-pointed octagon for engineers and technicians (incuding those of ground troops), a narrow triangle for pilots, and an equilateral triangle for ground troops. Ground- based fighter pilots have a green background and the pilot triangle. JR COMMANDER SR COMMANDER JUNIOR CAPTAIN SENIOR CAPTAIN Rank pips are bars for enlisted, horizontal ovals for non- commissioned officers, dots for junior commissioned officers, vertical ovals for senior commissioned officers, and 2nd LIEUTENANT JR LIEUTENANT SR LIEUTENANT EXEMP LIEUTENANT huge black disks for flag officers (who have no branch insignia but will have a background color). Gorns have four ranks in each type (junior officers, senior officers) instead of three as the Federation and Klingons have. CORPORAL JR SERGEANT SR SERGEANT SERGEANT MAJOR Gorns use the same term for ground and space officers, but the Federation translates this into the appropriate Army and Navy ranks.
