[edit] Expectations

We expect our members to have a friendly approachable attitude with no squabbles within our outfit. Remember that you have a TXR tag next to your name and with that tag comes the responsibility to act appropriate in the public eye. Which means no name calling or inappropriate arguments with the planetside 2 community. No intentional Team Killing or destroying friendly vehicles. We understand collateral damage at times but we need to work together to accomplish our goals. Total Recoil is an outfit created to accommodate all types of play styles in order to maximize your fun!

[edit] Mentorship Program

One of the many unique things about Total Recoil is the mentorship program. This program enables members who wish to become squad/platoon leaders the opportunity to do so under the guidance of an experienced commander or tactician. The reason they developed this program was to allow more one on one time with potential candidates to help strengthen their critical thinking under the pressures of war.

Mentors will provide you with both positive and constructive criticisms that will give you the confidence and skills to successfully lead your troops to victory.
