Introduction
Every large complex system, no matter how well designed, has a weakness. For the system to consistently perform well, it is crucial that weaknesses be identified and either fortified or removed. Ours is a large organization with many moving parts. S2 stands as a sentinel protecting our brotherhood, ensuring our ability to perform, and safeguarding the untarnished reputation of the 7th Cavalry.
The first line of defense in this critical duty is the recruit background check. As recruits are welcomed into the 7th Cavalry, the S2 department conducts a gaming background check on the enlistee. We look at their gaming history using sites such as BattleMetrics and SteamRep. We review former gaming clan activity and gaming website participation. Points of interest include, but are not limited to, checking to make sure that incoming members are currently not a part of another clan, don't have any VAC bans under five years, are not underage, and have no history of game hacking.
