Just want to make something apparent here. 

Because Squad 5 has more interest and now has 3 people in the Squad which means Lieutenant spot is as good as anyones. Gio may have been around for a bit longer than the other two but seeing as there are more people I intend for this to be interesting and in turn more competitive and of course with all decisions like this I'm the final decider. I wont tell you what I'm looking for but lets just say the playing field is even soo you may want to get yourself out on missions and meeting new people as well as Captains.

Oh and if it wasn't obvious enough with common sense I'll spell it out. 

You must ACTUALLY get to know the Captain you are getting a recommendation from. And I don't mean sip tea and chat I mean work your ass off and get their respect. If they give you a recommendation on the spot or after a few missions where no required skills of a Lieutenant were shown I'll crush that recommendation up like a piece of paper and throw it in the bin as I would at least like to know the Captains I have and even the person being recommended were taking this seriously. This is why the non-serious Captains get their position taken away and then replaced by someone who can do the job seriously. I wasn't joking when I said I wanted serious Captains and besides that...those Captains who started off in the beginning were temporary, to give people missions and basically groom the rest for those positions...it's getting closer to that time so yeah. Rinkei is the exception to this as Axel does such a good job of playing Captain and all I hear is praise towards him, I'd actually allow him to keep that position until he wanted to. Phobos to did a good job and understood it was temporary and used it more to set-up other things for his character however he did his job as Captain well and I loved the mission my character was sent on as it showed creativity. 

I don't want to hear bitching about this. Cause I don't care. I hate being serious but when I am, I'm pretty damn serious...so try keep me on the easy going side ^.^ that is all.
