7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment Names
Due to our MILPACS roster system, every member is required to have a unique name. Depending on the medium, the standard format for identification is RNK.Last.F, =7CAV=RNK.Last.F, or Rank Last.F.
- RNK = Rank abbreviation
- Last = Last name
- F = First initial of first name
Discord, TeamSpeak, and Regimental Tags Naming Conventions
- For Discord naming conventions, please see the Discord Code of Conduct.
- For TeamSpeak naming conventions, please see the TeamSpeak Code of Conduct.
- For Regimental Tags, please see General Order Three.
Name Violations
When members (and former members) are not using the correct naming convention in the right medium, you are considered "out of uniform", mispresenting your membership in the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, and subject to counseling or disciplinary action.
Name Changes
A member may request one name change during their career with the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment with the following requirements:
- Must be requested within the first 30 days of enlistment.
- Names must include a realistic forename and surname; not necessarily your real name.
- Troopers may not choose (within the limits of common sense) any of the following as names:
- Historically important names
- Actors
- Musicians
- Cartoon names
- Names of importance from novels, television, movies, etc.
- Religious names
- Names cannot have any special characters or spaces in them as this causes problems with the MILPACS system.
Approval Authority
- The Regimental Recruiting Oversight Officer (ROO), Aide to the ROO, RRD HQ, and their designates have approval authority for all name change requests.
- General Staff
Requesting a Name Change
To request a name change, use our ticket system to submit an RRD Name Change ticket. Please make sure you meet the requirements or your request will be rejected.
Exceptions
Exceptions to this SOP may be made at the discretion of the General Staff depending on the needs of the Regiment. If you do not meet the name change requirements and believe your case deserves an exception, you can submit the RRD ticket for a name change, but it will require review and approval from the Regimental Chief of Staff or their designate.
