After the Recruit has passed their requirements and has the label of “Passed” on their folder, they are put on the Transfer PM to the appropriate receiving element.

This guide is valid for transfer requests at all levels (i.e. Section, Platoon, Company, Battalion). After the Recruit has passed their requirements and has the label of “Passed” on their folder, they are put on the Transfer PM to the appropriate receiving element. It is then the responsibility of that receiving element to assign and transfer troopers to their proper assignment, where the trooper may be assigned prior to graduation on Sundays. It is also the responsibility of the receiving element to check the graduation post and their transfer posts to ensure a trooper is not forgotten.

Recruit Handover
All Drill Instructors will be required once the Boot Camp is complete for all Recruits and Briefing, for games without a Boot Camp, to contact the respective Battalion SGM's with a handover PM thread with the Recruit included in it. The Recruit may be moved to a line unit before promotion (Sunday) which will have no impact on the Recruit. This change was made as an attempt to speed up the handover process and push Recruits to line units.
This is to be sent as soon as Bootcamp and or the briefing is complete.
PM Thread Content:
" SGM -Insert name here-, I am handing over the file of RCT.Lastname.First Initial over to you for processing. The Recruit will be promoted on Sunday to Private.
Respectfully, "
