=Traditions and History=
The S1 Branch was officially commanded by the Regimental Chief of Staff (CoS) until the formal stand-up of the S1 Branchead position in 2011, filled by then General John Chance.
==Distinguished Former S1 Commanders==
Below is a description of some of the S1 personnel who have helped shape the department
===Brigadier General James "Krazee" Foster===
[[File:GenKrazeeCitation.jpg|left|300px|BGen Krazee's Medal Narrative]]
In 2008, when the Chief of Staff was the S1 Commander, [https://7cav.us/rosters/profile?uniqueid=370 Brigadier General James Krazee] was appointed to the position. Throughout the next year, General Krazee began to formalize the processes of personnel and general administration, creating the pathway for the current S1 Branch. Tragically, in April 2009 General Krazee passed away. In his honor, the [https://wiki.7cav.us/index.php/Awards_and_Decorations#Individual_Medals_and_Ribbons James "Krazee" Foster Lifetime Achievement Medal] was created to honor him, and all those who have served the Regiment in an extremely dedicated capacity. He was the first recipient of this new award.


==''' Mission'''==
Today, the medal is awarded: "...for overall career achievements within the 7th Cavalry. This includes service to the unit in and out of combat roles. This award is exclusive to the Officer ranks, and is awarded in Honor of BG.Krazee". While not specifically for excellence in administration, the medal is awarded to all around Officers who have shown their dedication, leadership ability, integrity, and exceptional service to the Regiment.
In the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, S1 is similarly responsible for the administration of personnel. Material contributions are in record keeping, organization and policy. Unique to our virtual community, S1 also has responsibility for the visual representation of each trooper as a unique individual, through standards conformant avatars and signatures. S1 is divided into four sub-departments: MILPACS, Uniforms Shop, Signature Shop and Regimental Publishing Directoate


== Composition ==
=== MILPACs ===
The MILPACS department is responsible for maintenance of service records, personnel information, and recognition of awards.


The MILPACs NCOIC provides the main oversight of the MILPACs sub-department. A MILPACs Lead is assigned to each battalion, and is responsible for training and oversight of the clerks assigned under them. MILPACs clerks are assigned to each company, and are responsible for the bulk of the record maintenance at this level. This includes watching the forums for certain types of posts, and transcribing the proper information into the service records of the soldiers within their area of responsibility. The MILPACS staff performs an indispensable task, but one quick to earn scorn for the slightest error, unlikely to be heralded for even the greatest success, and prone to long-suffering ignominity. For all the countless times your work has gone without notice, let this wiki entry remind us all of our gratitude for this service. "We appreciate your effort on our behalf."


=== Uniform Shop ===
Visual identification is something we largely take for granted, but in a virtual community this basic human ability requires careful attention and effort. Within our forums, Uniforms serve as a display of a member's rank, billet, awards, and qualifications.


'''NEEDS UPDATING'''
<!-- It helps to fill the void of intuitive recognition that would otherwise be present in face to face interaction. The Avatar Shop is responsible for maintenance and oversight of the Avatar program that the 7th Cavalry uses to help identify each soldier on the forums. Similar to a uniform, each soldier is required to display their avatar on their forum account.


The Avatar Shop NCOIC provides the main oversight of the Avatar Shop sub-department. This includes assigning and reassigning personnel, providing checks on processed avatars, and maintaining the organization of the sub-department. Avatar Shop personnel are assigned to a specific area of the "Personnel" forums (ie promotions, medals and awards, transfers, and personnel action forms). The Shop utilizes Adobe Photoshop to construct and update the avatar files.-->
'''NEEDS UPDATING'''


=== Signature Shop===
Signatures are a popular addition to a trooper's forum profile. Being a virtual community, we tend to recognize one another by name and by voice. Signatures help to bring a bit of unique visual identity and character into our brotherhood. Signatures are not mandatory for display on the forums, and the Signature Shop's business is all by request. The shop is responsible for taking requests submitted via the forums, and producing high quality graphic art for display as personal signatures.


The Signature Shop NCOIC is responsible for oversight of the sub-department. This includes maintaining the organization of the Signature Shop, performing quality control spot checks, and ensuring that requests are processed within resonable time tables. Shop personnel are assigned based on an evaluation of their ability to produce quality signatures. Skills in graphic arts software is a must-have to be a member of the shop. Each artist is given a section on the forums, where requests for his work can be submitted. They are expected to display some examples of their work in this area, to give prospective clients a good idea of their style.


All signature files are archived in a shared folder on Dropbox. This ensures continuity of signature work when an incremental update is requested, such as a promotion or unit transfer. Signatures are property of the Requester after the finished work has been accepted.
