ok, i'll take an uneducated stab.

Asset; one who is principally defined by interest and potential usefulness. The goals of assets are diverse, and no formal alliance is made.

Auxillary; The function of a body of auxillaries is to handle large influxes, and to screen and test members.

Guerilla; these are fighters who are loyal to their fellows. this is a formal alliance. they develop specific skills.

Guerilla Chief; has a band of loyal guerillas who recognize and respect their decisions and experience. GC can act as mentor and advisor.

Area Commander; AC is responsible for actions which further and sustain the goal.

I haven't found the "true" defentions (yet) but Dammmn that sounds like you cut and pasted it right out of the FM for Uncoventional Warfare.

Attention! Atttention

Some people are PMing asking can we change their title to "So and so". The titles are set, at least for the time being.

Stop and think about it, do you really want us concentrating on you and your personal title? Us? Really?

I'll give you the answer - No, you don't.

If an admin decides to give a special title, that's his decision. If not, drive on.

Have a very SF Day.

I made up those definitions. I did use a book (not FM) to get ideas for auxillary. I'm looking forward to hearing all the ideas, and the true meanings.

This mornings posts reminded me that I forgot to try and define one of the titles.

Ass-est; one whose primary function is to overcontemplate themselves. these are often commanders of their own AO known as "the hole". potential of usefulness is extremely limited. may also be defined as one whose ass is excessively padded.

Since the Team Sergeant asked for comments... I'll contribute that I like the new titles and uniformity. Very professional imho.

As I am sneaking in here during "lunch" I would offer my idea of what my "'title" of assets could mean; someone that could be of help but would not truly be needed to perform or complete your mission.

On the right track?

Edited for obvious grammar errors.
