Title: Question about the time of operations and other things.
Post by: OpponentSilver on April 09, 2015, 03:26:51 PM
I am new to this and I have some questions.
First: I'm italian, and even if i can speak english very well, how can i be sure that i can attend to trainings and classes?
Second: I can only join operations in the weekend, is this a major problem?

There are multiple classes and training times, so you should be able to find something that suits you.

Operations are only on Saturday and Sunday.

Building off of what Capt Morgan said, when you get done with AIT (the classes needed in order to join) you can request a certain area of the unit that has their trainings on the weekends or the times you are available. If there is a slot open where you want to go, chances are you will probably get it when you request it.

All in all, once you finish your training, you will be doing 4 fire team trainings, up to 2 squad trainings, one or two platoon trainings and two operations every month.

That is if you go infantry of course.

Another thing, the operations schedule is always at 2000 EST?

Ah... That is unfortunate for me. To do any kind of operation I should play at 0020 GTM+1... A little difficult for me. How much time you usually need to complete a normal operation?

2 hours is the average. We have operations on Saturday and Sunday now.

Are you *limited* to two ops per month or can you do more if you choose?

2 operations per month are "required" if you are active, then you may "fill-in" in as many others as you like, depending on if there is an open slot.
