SP Time Change Policy

The changing of a Section Practice time can be requested by the respective Section Leader through platoon staff and requires company approval. A SP time change may only be requested with valid reasoning for the time change. SP time change requests without valid justification will be denied.

In order to change the SP time, the following steps need to be taken:

• The Section Leader needs to speak to every trooper of the section about the new SP time if the trooper is able to make the new time.
• At least 60% of the troopers need to agree on switching the SP time before a time change request can be submitted through platoon staff to company HQ.
• If a trooper is unable to make the new time, section and platoon staff need to work with the trooper in question to find a new fitting SP time for the trooper and request or process the respective transfer.
• Before an SP time change can be approved, all troopers of the respective section must either agree on the suggested SP time or have been transferred to a different section.

An SP time change only takes effect after company staff approval.

Section Opening & Closing Policy

The right to open or close sections remains with company staff. Platoon staff may request the opening or closing of a section through forum PM to company HQ. On a case by case basis the opening or closing of a section may be delegated to platoon staff.
