Before I continue my rant, I just want to say I am not doing this out of "spite" but for pure concern for the faction and how it's affecting the United States during war time/debrief. Since I have made my "comeback" on the server I constantly see the narcissistic attitudes and ego's coming from the Marine/MARSOC Officers and how they handle affairs within the United States. This is very concerning to me as I fear if it isn't addressed it's going to continue to get worse and affect us even further. Keep in mind this is MY opinion and this is just what I personally see every time I get on the server, and I don't expect everyone to agree with me. Also, not every officer within the Marines/MARSOC is like this, but they take up a HUGE portion of their officer staff. Some of this stuff also applied to other factions in the US but I mainly see people in Marines/MARSOC do it, hence why this is oriented towards them. The first thing I would like to address is the blatant disrespect and immaturity of some leaders within the MARSOC/Marine forces. Day in and day out I see marine officers complain about people "minging" within the US DB even though they do it themselves. I constantly see marine officers kill people randomly in Debrief for no valid RP reason, Hell I even see people that are in staff that do it. This is a problem because when you do this you do it in front of the entire enlistment on and it gives them the idea that it's alright to do these kinds of things. They also kill enlisted when they talk out of PTS, which is a HUGE violation and something they should never do. We should be TEACHING the new privates/enlisted, not randomly killing them just because they talk out of PTS. They constantly yell and beckon towards the US enlisted telling them to "shut the fuck up" and disrespecting them in general. People need to realise that this is a GAME. We are all here to have fun and relax, we need to stop treating these poor 12-16 year olds like they are actually in the United States Armed Forces with the disrespect and all. They don't come here to get screamed at they come here to play some fucking PvP. Hell, it's not even a bad idea to have some realism in your faction if that's what you're going for, but please look at how @Ethan is running his factions. They don't constantly yell at the base factions/kill them if they talk out of PTS, they are respectful and actually TEACH their enlisted how to do well in wars and tryouts. This is probably the main reason why we are always getting our fucking asses kicked in war. When you build good relations with the enlisted, not only will you have more fun but the enlisted will have an incentive to stay in your faction/the server in general. This leads me to my next point, officers need to learn how to take criticism and deal with what people say about how they are running their factions. I'm going to give you an example between me and the general of marines Gotham. I am not doing this out of spite, I am only doing this because I feel like I need some sort of "proof" to go along with this. Basically I messaged Gotham about how he led After-War DB and some things I had wrong with how he led it, and instead of responding in a mature way he decided to make my PM public and start to backlash at me. From there we had a heated "Debate" on if I should be critiquing him or not and eventually he stopped responding to me. This is not how a leader should be taking criticism, this should honestly be embarrassing for the Marines on how their commander in chief reacted. They actually were, I had one MARSOC general PM me and ask me to get in TS and when I did he apologized for Gotham, agreeing that he was acting rudely. At the time I didn't want to make a scene out of it, but my patience is wearing thin. If you want to read the exact messages we exchanged, you can read them here and decide for yourself who was in the wrong. Another example is from earlier today, we were in after war DB when someone in Army talked out of PTS (even though technically US DB was over) and so they decided to kill them immediately, not even talk to them or tell them to not talk when PTS is active. I got fed up and "exposed"/confronted them about it and how they responded is basically saying "Calm down, stop arguing" repeatedly and proceeded to dismiss their enlisted to their separate debrief. Again, we should be TEACHING these new people/enlisted not killing them on site. We as US officers should be able to take criticism more seriously and maturely, not get upset because a "lower ranking officer" told us what to do. I mean seriously Gotham, I understand that you lead two major factions within the United States but that gets you NO RIGHT to abuse and manipulate your lower command. I was also a General, so I know the stresses of when you get called out for not leading correctly but you need to handle those situations better, same for officers in general. Really, all of these complaints could be applied to other factions as well. We as the US side need to stick together and cooperate better with each faction, not force outside opinions out because they are a lower rank/not in your faction. Again, this is just a rant but I feel like I needed to address these problems or else they are just going to continue to get out of hand. Here's what I think needs to happen ASAP: We need to start teaching our enlisted more about the server as they play and build/improve our relations with them in general We need to stop minging in US Debrief and killing each other for fun in front of the enlisted while US DB is active We need to stop killing enlisted for talking out of PTS and instead teach them the correct ways to go into after war/pre war DB We need to able to take criticism more maturely and use the criticism we do get to improve our factions for the sake of the United States side of the server. Please, everyone that is in a position to lead the enlisted need to do a better job, not just Marines/MARSOC. The only reason why I focused these factions is because I see them the most do these kinds of things. I understand people might not like what I'm saying, but I feel like it's important to address these issues. If you're going to reply PLEASE do it in a mature manner, I'd love to have a DEBATE, not a flame war. With that being said, I have concluded my rant and I thank you for reading it. - 2LT AR PrisonNightmare

I was only a measley man who wanted to join MARSOC at first because of a guy named gambler, and I got something much more than what I bargained for. Marines have hands down been the friendliest entry faction that I've been in, and the hardest too. But leaving like this kinda makes me sad. I must announce that I must leave marines for more important duties, as GRU needs people and it's becoming increasingly apparent that I should help. So with that all said, see you marines. It's been fun, Semper Fidelis!!! First lemme tag some people @Jin best SMMC, thanks for being awesome dude @Jasmin | Garnetgaming.net Best WO hands down @Gotham thanks for being an awesome Gen, I won't forget you dude. That day we did PT, I loved every moment of it @gambler01dyer dude, I'm gonna miss you. It's been a real pleasure, and thanks for being my inspiration for MARSOC. Sad to see you go. With that said, /me salutes. It's really late at night, I'd tag more people if I could. Let me just say this, UGott, Scotti, Moans, Bhewy, and Arnold, thank you for all being there and being awesome people. As well as you Marz even though you joined SEALS. Thx for being my friends, and my comrades. HOORAH.

I am resigning from Marine/1MD today. I mained 1MD since the start of my time on this server and it is time for a change. I am resigning from Marines, but I look forward to joining another faction and continuing to be an active member of the community. To all the WO and NCOs that I have bothered and pestered (about leading and being a good role model), I wish you all the best; I only was hard on you because I wanted you to succeed. I have made so many memories on 1MD and made so many connections; Many are no longer a part of this community. Anyway, I can say stories or I can give recognition to people. I am only tagging marines, so dont feel bad. @Hardey | GarnetGaming.net she ugly @{GG} CJ I was/am proud to have been your DI. You led MARSOC, made it high up the leadership chain… But then you became a traitor. @copywrite (couldnt tag) You a cool dud, so I am going to tag you. We had some long late night talks. Please stay marines @Crusty spoons and socksI remember when you were WO and had to talk to me for being dumb as a DI. I was so happy for you when you got 2nd Lt…. Oh ya and General too. @{GG}otham You are a good General. I hope your reign is long. @{GG} Remake You will get General someday bud, best of luck on your journey there. @Bhewy Your IQ is 3000, I never doubted it. Continue playing roblox. @jin I am really happy to see you as SMMC. You were an excellent choice and you fit the roll very well. Even though I am resigning, my door is always open if you need any help. @Seducing Moans you are a minge that somehow has a high rank in marines. @van Haven't talked to you in awhile, but hi @Jasmin | Garnetgaming.net we have had so many memories. You were so active in the past. Anyway, I want to see you become an officer again, so be active please. @gg.x [Cody Drax] I know I have told you this before, but thank you for entrusting SMMC on me. We barely talked back then but you trusted me with it. Anyway, thanks again my dud. I am looking forward to maining another faction. If you were tagged, im sorry. There are so many people I can tag, its best to keep the list short. I will still see you guys in game, just not as a marine. Colonel Arnold Smith signing off.

Name: Hoskins Age: 16 turning 17 in November. Total time on the server: [/playtime] | NSWC SO2 Hoskins has played for 862:35:21. Do you own a microphone: [yes/no] Yes. Referrals: [optional] JJ, Android, Chris Branch, Panini, Jasmin, Maverick Staff History: [warns/bans] 0 warns and 0 bans Country of Residence: United States Past experiences staffing? This server and many others, I was an administrative supervisor on a SCP-RP and a Super admin and an admin on many DarkRP servers Why do you plan on benefiting our server? (100 words minimum) Over the past 8 or 9 months almost a year that I've been here I have developed a bond with a lot of the players on the server staff included. I consider a lot of the SEALs and Staff family I respect all of them and they respect me, I like to help the community as best as I can and when someone needs some help with something in-game that I believe I can help out with then I help them to the best of my ability, when I see someone who is about to RDM or break another rule I inform them that they can't do that and they would be warned or worse if they do it. When I was staff on here before I made a lot of friends with the community helping them as best as I could and I was very unbiased in my opinion. The community enjoyed me as a staff member and when I left I had a lot going on but it's all fixed now. I will not be leaving GarnetGaming unless I get banned for whatever reason.
