| - | + | ==OVERVIEW== | |
| + | Abandonment '''VS''' Retirement '''VS''' Leave of Absence '''VS''' Resignation<br> | ||
| + | Before leaving the UFGQ, or StarFleet, you should carefully select which method of departure. [[Abandonment]] is simply leaving all the UFGQ in-world groups, with or without comments. [[Retirement]] is smoothly transitioning out of your routine participation, while maintaining your rank, honors, rights and privileges with no expected return date. [[Leave of absence]] is halting your routine participation, yet maintaining your rank, honors, rights and privileges with a specific stated return date. Resignation is immediately making a change in your participation.<br> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
| - | + | OFFICERS: if you are unsure about which avenue best fits your needs, please talk to your CO, or JAG.<br> | |
| - | + | <br> | |
| + | CIVILIANS: Please seek aid from the [[Home Office]]. | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | '''OFFICERS SCOPE OF RESIGNATION:''' Resignation may mean many different things for an officer, each with its own consequences: | ||
| + | * Officers may resign their StarFleet officers commission. Should you later decide to return, you will start over as cadet. You must be out of your commission for a month before being considered for re-admittance to the academy. | ||
| + | * Department staff may resign their duty station. Resignation of department duty station may be held against you by the Admiralty or executive staff should you apply for any department duty stations. | ||
| + | * Ships crew may resign their post. Resignation of ships post may be held against you by the ships CO and XO should you re-apply for a post aboard the same ship.<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | In all cases your resignation will go in your service record.<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | '''CIVILIAN SCOPE OF RESIGNATION:''' Citizens only have one scope, their citizenship. Such resignation will go in your citizens file. | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | ==THE PROCESS== | ||
| + | * Create an in-world notecard | ||
| + | * Set permissions to modify:no, copy:yes, transfer:yes | ||
| + | * Name it properly like this [YYMMDD] - RESIGNATION FROM [SCOPE] - [YOUR NAME] See examples below | ||
| + | * Copy the proper form from below into the inworld notecard | ||
| + | * Complete the form | ||
| + | * Deliver it to the postbox in the welcome center | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | '''Example Notecard Names:'''<br> | ||
| + | Officer wishing to leave a ships post: '''090412 - RESIGNATION FROM USS Victory - Xavier Tairov'''<br> | ||
| + | Officer wishing to leave a department duty station: '''090412 - RESIGNATION FROM Security Officer - Xavier Tairov'''<br> | ||
| + | Civilian wishing to leave UFGQ citizenship: '''090412 - RESIGNATION FROM Citizenship - Xavier Tairov'''<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | '''NO OTHER PROCESS IS ACCEPTABLE'''<br> | ||
| + | Failure to use the proper process may result in confusion, including not recognizing your intentions to resign or even rejecting the malformed resignation. '''OFFICERS NOTE:''' Failure to properly resign could jeopardize any future recommissioning.<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | '''CAUTION ABOUT THE FORUMS'''<br> | ||
| + | Some people will inevitably fail to follow this simple process and will post something to the forums. Posting anything on the forums shall leave the posters intentions subject to interpretation. In the case of an officer, this may lead to a dishonorable discharge, or worse. Posting anything to the forums that might be construed as a resignation runs the risk of being accepted as a resignation, with all the consequences thereof.<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | '''RIGHT OF RESCISSION'''<br> | ||
| + | In all cases of properly filed resignations, the individual shall have 24 hours to rescind their resignation. This is to allow passions to cool and calmer heads to think should the resignation have come about in the heat of the moment, and to allow whatever might have motivated the resignation an opportunity to be worked out. However, all rescission actions are subject to acceptance by the commanding officer, or home office officials.<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | '''ADMIRAL NULLIFICATION'''<br> | ||
| + | In the case of StarFleet officers, the commanding Admiral shall have the right to nullify any resignation and, should the individual accept this nullification, return the officer to good standing. Notation will be made in the officers service record.<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | '''RESIGNATION BY PROXY'''<br> | ||
| + | At no time shall one person be allowed to resign for another. The notecard must be created by the person who intends to resign so that it maintains the "created by" property as a valid legal signature.<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | '''NOTICE OF PUBLIC RECORD'''<br> | ||
| + | Be mindful of what you write in the comments section as everything on the notecard is going to be made part of the UFGQ public record and shall be posted in the forums.<br> | ||
| + | <br> | ||
