==Welcome to S5 Public Affairs==
Joining S5 puts you on the frontline of the 7th Cavalry. Everyday we work with outside units to help make our content the best it can be for our members, and to improve the Cav's face to the outside world.
Joining S5 Public Affairs places you on the frontline of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment's interactions with the outside world. We work closely with external units to enhance our content for members and improve the Cavalry's image and outreach to other communities.


===Definition of the Role===
===Definition of the Role===
The job of a public relations officer is to represent the 7th Cav during talks with other clans. We expect you to visit these clans and embody our rules and regulations. While we do not demand you call other clan members by their ranks at first glance, we do ask that you pay them the respect that you would offer anyone else in the 7th Cavalry. Treat those how you would like to be treated. Speak clearly and honestly and you will always find success.
As a public relations clerk in S5, your job is to represent the 7th Cavalry during interactions with other clans. You are expected to embody our rules and regulations while visiting these clans. While we do not require you to address other clan members by their ranks at first glance, we ask that you treat them with the same respect you would afford anyone within the 7th Cavalry. Clear, honest communication is key to success in this role.

===Power in Numbers===
In S5, we have several members working together to achieve common goals. If you see a S5 PR member not understanding something or making errors, ask to assist them. Take the initiative to help. For all you know that member may be confused by our admittedly steep learning curve of a Department.
In S5, teamwork is crucial. If you notice a fellow S5 PR member struggling, offer assistance. Your initiative can help them navigate our department's learning curve. Working with other department members is also beneficial during meetings with external clans, as having backup strengthens our presence and improves our relations.
 
Working with other department members also comes in handy when in meetings with other clans. You have a backup and a comrade with which you can work with. Not only that but the clan you are meeting with will think better of the Cav sending two of its Public Relations officers instead of one. Make them feel special and you will find them far more workable than normal.
