    III. Community Structure

    A. Rank Structure

    VVarMachine Gaming, for ease of organization and separation of duties, uses the US military’s pay grade system for enlisted and officers.

    1. Non-Members (n/a – E-1)

    1. Affiliate / Friend / Guest: Non-Members who have not committed to a recruitment cycle in a supported game. Divisions may place limitations on Affiliate attendance to organized operations. Not subject to the protections and liberties afforded to VVarMachine members.
    2. Recruit (E-1): Affiliates or friends currently undergoing a mandatory probationary and training period. This period may differ from division to division but generally lasts two weeks. Not subject to the protections and liberties afforded to VVarMachine members.

    3. Staff Non-Commissioned Officer / SNCO (E-7 to E-9): Highly Knowledgeable, Successful, and dedicated NCOs who act as senior tactical leaders and advisors. These members are non-voting members of the Community Council and in addition to advising officers serve as the representatives of NCOs and Members.

    3. Officers (OCS – O-10)

    1. Officer Candidate (OCS): Officers in training. These members are not afforded the same level of authority or access as full officers for the course of their Officer-In-Training (OIT) program.

These officers, in addition to the duties of the Officer (Section III.A.3.b) duties, are responsible for the continued development of a division’s operational and strategic processes.
    4. Flag Officer (O-7 to O-10): Flag Officers are the leaders and administrators of VVarMachine Gaming and are made up of both Division Leaders and Community Leadership. These officers oversee the development of their own division and the entire community by steering the strategic vision and direction of VVarMachine.
      • The paygrade (O-7) is reserved for Division Leaders and is the maximum attainable grade as a member of division staff.
      • The paygrades (O-8 to O-10) are reserved for Community Leaders. Rank assignments for these grades are detailed in the Community Leadership section.

    B. Unified TIS/TIG

    Each rank bracket has specific minimum Time-in-Service (TIS) and Time-in-Grade (TIG) requirements. Between individual pay grades in a bracket, they may require additional TIG to advance from position to position. Minimums for each rank bracket is the same across all divisions. TIS & TIG do not guarantee a position and are considered the minimum requirements that must be met before advancement.

    Member E-2 to E-3 2 Weeks -
    Non-commissioned Officer / NCO E-4 to E-6 1 Month -

    2. Expectations: Division expectations will be laid out in a Division’s CoC addendum to focus purely on the attendance requirements, responsibilities, and general expectations for pay grades based on guidance listed in Section III.A.
    3. Resignation:

    2. Non-Voting / Advisory
