The
Britannic Majesty's 'St George' Squadron
Code
of Conduct
The 'St George'
Squadron Code of Conduct is the set of standards by which
all Officers of the Squadron will live up to and are measured
by. Officers of the Squadron are expected to adhere to the
Code of Conduct at all times, especially when communicating
with other officers of the Squadron within the game and
on this and other forums. Officers are to treat each other
with dignity and respect in every situation.
By following and abiding
by the Code of Conduct, members can hopefully enjoy our
rich Squadron experience, without worry of harassment, belittlement,
or prejudice. The Code of Conduct not only protects our
membership from unscrupulous and unsavoury characters, but
it also protects the entire Squadron, providing an ordered
and stable set of protocols. The 'Code of Conduct' applies
to each and every Officer in the Squadron, from the 'Founders'
all the way down the Chain of Command to our newest recruits.
Every Squadron Officer,
no matter what rank, should strive to conduct themselves
in the spirit of the Royal Navy, a manner which will live
up to the Squadrons motto: "Strength in Unity".
The Squadron Should pride
itself in Honour, Fair play and Teamwork. As such, there
are general guidelines we ask all members to abide by at
all times.
•
Honour his Majesty, the King

the Squadrons good name.

Superiors and other Squadron Members

* Following Orders/Requests
from Officers: This needs to be done both in and out
