Formally adding Pararescue to our rank structure in the handbook. Also a slight policy change to the way we promote S&R medics. Please note that while the merit system has officially been removed, we will continue to take into account poor medic behavior in holding back promotions if necessary. Please feel free to ask any of our seniors for additional information if you have any qualms/ concerns/ questions. @Medic @Senior R&R Member

Chapter XI - Rank Advancement
Promotion Guidelines
Promotions are generally conducted on Friday night or Saturday morning/afternoon (EST), or at the discretion of the R&R Director.
Times for promotions are gathered each Thursday. If a medic has not met their time requirement on Thursday, when times are gathered, he or she will not be promoted, even if they attain their minutes on Friday.
Promotional reviews are based upon time spent on-duty, observations made by senior medics, and feedback provided by the citizens of Altis, to include peers, APD officers, and civilians.
Medics can only be promoted once per week unless it is a special circumstance. For example, Medic of the Month award or Coordinator+ approval.
