State the role of staff on the server:
Staff works to make the server safer and gameplay more stable.
They're a part of getting people into the server, they help with technical issues within their ULX permissions, take care of rule-breakers, and assist with scenarios requiring non-standard loadouts, like trainings or SIMs.
 

Have you read the server rules and are you familiar with them?:
Yes, I have, and I am also famimliar with the punishments for those who break them.
 

List of all previous server staff experience:
Second Battle Group, TF2 community server
 

Do you understand that you can be demoted at anytime with a sufficient reason by a Hierarchy member?:
I understand, and will strive to not meet such a consequence.

_________________________________________________________________________

Explain how you would handle these scenarios as a staff member.

1 ) You are told by a Player that somebody is randomly killing other clones:
I'd take a peek at the "killer" in question by cloaking around him, to make sure he's not currently engaged with anything. I'd have no reason to hinder their gameplay if I don't have clear sign of wrongdoing.
It'd be simple to just check logs to see if anyone has been killed, and if not, question the witness if he's sure about who he saw. The logs would show both killer and victim, so one could find a mistaken identity by this method as well.
I'd also remind the witness, in the case no logs are found, that misleading staff can lead to harsh punishments, and make really sure if they understand that they shouldn't falsely report anyone.

If the "killer" really did kill someone, whether I witness a repeat and drag him out of the situation to have a sit, or if I find the logs and make a sit after the fact, I'd explain to them their wrongdoing, the fact that I have logs to back up the charge, and tell them the punishment they'll incur.
Depending on their actions, this can be anything from being kicked for simple RDM, to being banned for MRDM, their attitude during the sit not withstanding.
 

2 ) You are asked by a Cadet to be trained using the @ function:
This would be a job for battalion, or other leading officers on base.
I'd simply take the claim and pass it to the leader on base via PMs, so they can call a suitable trainer to the cadet area.
 

3 ) During a debrief, a CT accidently shoots someone, whilst trying to safety their weapon:
This being an accident, I suppose the CT would only have fired one shot. If they keep firing, I'd pull them out of the line, to avoid further damage. Depending on their behaviour, I'd have to gauge whether it really was an accident, and they seek their own betterment. 
In the case of one shot, I might ask myself who taught him to pull the trigger while putting a weapon on safety, or to line up for debrief with a weapon out at all, but this would fall to the leading officers and CG to deal with, as it's more akin to an RP situation with an unlucky CT.
 

4 ) A CT #### doesn't salute you, despite you being a rank higher than 2nd LT:
As staff, this doesn't matter at all. When doing claims, staff are counted as out of character, and people shouldn't worry about saluting them, even if they pop-in while not in the SOD job.
 

5 ) Someone commits FailRP, but claims that the specific instance of FailRP is not explicitally stated within the server rules:
I'd remind them that the rules also state to not attempt to find loopholes, with the cost of harsher punishments, and to take into consideration what could logically be expected of roleplaying military units in the Star Wars universe.
 

6 ) You bring a player into a sit and punish them accordingly, however they do not agree with your punishment and keep on arguing:
I would point out that I'm merely doing the job of upholding the rules on the server, and that if they feel wronged they can file it on the forums, where we'd both be under the scrutiny of every member of the community, staff or not.
My aim would be to keep the sit short and calm, to not agitate further reactions needing punishment.

_________________________________________________________________________

Explain in length and detail as to why you deserve staff more than other applicants. Explain what you will bring to the staff team and your strongest assets as a person/potential staff member:

I believe I can make for a great staff member, due to my experience on the server, and my technical know-how, which I have acquired from prior management and my correspondence with other staff members.

Experience in roleplay does not necessarily translate to experience as a staff member, but of the people I have worked with on the server, I always found people with a penchant to look out for others, to become staff members.
Likewise, the staff I have had the chance to talk at length with always seem to earnestly put in an effort to clear up misunderstandings, and share what help they can, most of them having had high ranks and people who would speak well of their experience with them.

To this day, I remain interested in the inner workings of the server, technical or not, and I always make a point of finding out how something works, so I can translate it to workable information that others can use in their endeavors.
If something proves difficult to a player, I will always try to help them, even demonstrating to them the methods, should I have the opportunity.

I would put myself above other applicants because of my drive to help other people, to understand any situation I come across and to make it understandable for all parts involved, and my openness to challenges.

I will not shy away from difficult situations, or people, as that could end up making problems for others, and I would rather know that I, or someone I know I can rely on, can make a difference for the better.

Whether I do become staff or not, I have people on the server I know I can look to for help, or just someone I can talk to, should I have ideas for better experiences, or more difficult matters relating to people on the server.

My aim is to be one such person, regardless of what my actual job on the server is.
I would be more than happy to prove myself, should I get the chance.

Halt is a great member of the community, his application is also fantastic. As a Senior EP I used to love doing Passive RP events with 74th and Researchers and I always thought Halt was a fantastic person to not only be around but to talk to. Halt never fails to disappoint anymore and he was fantastic in ARC, when Halt moved onto hierarchy, I thought he would go inactive like he has done before but he is arguably the most active amongst the Hierarchy which is great to see.
Halt is a great choice

Ever since he got SMO and even throughout his time in 74th, he´s been dedicated and kind but also strict. Everything has already been said but I really believe he would be a great staff and he would make the server better.
