Chapter I.
Basic Procedures

Part of your job as an NCO is to make sure the enlisted know
exactly what they are doing and when they should be doing it. In
order to make sure the enlisted are doing things correctly, you
need to make yourself fully aware of all the basic procedures.
This leads us to Section A.


Section A.
Understanding

Fill the Front (FTF):
FTF is quite possibly the most important procedure, as it is
the only way to obtain more members. If there is even one position
available in the front row and people are communicating in the
back, you should ask them to FTF. The only reason they shouldn't
FTF is if they are AFK (Away from Keyboard) or are having an
important conversation directly involving the Airborne.

Attention:
Attention is a very important procedure as well. Attention
gives officers a method of effectively communicating to the entire
room at any time. It also shows respect to officers. When an
officer enters the room, you should
call "ATTENTION!" and stop all movements and speech until the
officers says, "Carry on", "As you were".

"As you were" and "Carry on":
These commands simply mean that you are no longer at attention
and you may return to your position before the attention was called.

"At Ease" is the command that you must stay standing at attention, but you may stalk in "Say" you still must not move, or click.

Front and Center (F&C):
The F&C command is given by an officer while the room is
at attention. This command is used for disciplinary actions and
promotions. Too often NCOs’ do not know how to properly F&C.
The correct format for F&C is as follows;
The officer calls the room to attention.
The officer calls the person to F&C.
The person reporting walks to 1 space in front
of the officer and says, "Sir/Ma'am!"
The officer speaks.
After the officer is finished speaking, they will say "Dismissed" and
and the person says “Sir/Ma’am!” and returns to their spot at attention.

MOD:
A MOD is someone who keeps the room in check and makes sure that
the room is doing exactly what it's supposed to and when it's supposed
to. This person is considered a part of the front row. When you are
told to MOD, you take responsibility for the actions of those on the
front row.



Section B.
Executing

FTF:
FTF should be executed anytime there is an open space in the front
row. Later in the manual you will see the priority positions to fill
while in HQ. FTF is the first and most important priority.

Attention:
Attention should be executed when the highest outranking officer
enters through door or the teleporter. It is also executed if someone in the front row appears to be AFK.
Attention is also called to make sure that if someone is in the
back and at the computer, they can FTF when a position is open.
Any time an officer calls attention, it needs to be executed
immediately.



Section C.
Teaching

For the most part, basic commands are taught during training,
however they are occasionally forgotten depending on the trainer.
If you see someone execute a command OTHER THAN attention
incorrectly, tell them how to do it right. If an officer calls
attention and you try to correct someone who is doing it wrong,
you are likely to be kicked from the room. Leave that to the
officer who called the attention.

When teaching to correctly do a command, don't be rude about
it and give the enlisted an attitude for doing it wrong. This
will get you into trouble with officers as well as lower the
morale of the enlisted you are correcting. You should politely
tell them what they did wrong and how to fix it next time. If
necessary, do drills with them to get it right.

Chapter II.
Ranks and Commands

Section A.
Following Orders

Following orders is something that should be done immediately
unless the order is against the Habbo way. If the order comes
from an officer, it should be done immediately. However,
occasionally, a higher ranking NCO will give you an order. While
you do not necessarily have to follow this order, it is respectful
to do so, and the NCO is probably doing what is best for the
situation. The ONLY NCO who can call an attention without permission
from an officer is the Head NCO, so if another NCO tries to call
you to attention and discipline you, it is not in their authority.



Section B.
Disobeying Orders

Disobeying a direct order from an officer has a variety of
outcomes. You will certainly be punished unless over-ruled by
the Operations Command. If an order is against the Habbo way,
you should NOT follow the order and instruct the officer that
it is against the Habbo way.

Disobeying an NCO of high ranking might get you some
punishment too depending on the situation. It's always best
to follow an order respectfully no matter who gives it.



Section C.
Punishment

Punishments for disobeying orders will vary. If you blatantly
disobey an order from a member of Operations Command you are
probably going to be dishonorably discharged. If it is from
an officer you are most likely going to be kicked and warned.
If you repeatedly disobey you are likely to be discharged.

Chapter III.
Priorities In and Out of HQ

Section A.
In HQ

While in HQ there are certain priorities that need to
be filled before others. The order of priorities in HQ are
as follows:

1. FTF and recruit new personnel
2. Gate Guard (GG)
3. MOD 1, MOD 2
4. Back row.
5. VIP.

NCO are not the only ones bound by this list of
priorities. All officers should follow this list as well. If
an officer isn't following this list, politely ask them to
fill the priority position. If they don't, it's probably
for a good reason.



Section B.
Out of HQ

When you aren't in HQ, we obviously can't make you
follow the rules. However, if the HQ is low on population
it is a priority to fill it. There isn't a punishment
for not filling it, but it makes officers look at you as
someone who isn't dedicated to the Airborne which in the end
keeps you from that next promotion. So always fill the
HQ when possible to be a known worker.

Chapter IV.
Conduct

Section A.
Sexual Comments

A lot of sexual comments are made in HQ and it's all
in good fun, but it makes us look terrible. People come
in and see sexual comments and think we are a military of
perverts. Sexual comments are best left to whispers and
console. If you make a comment that could be possibly make
people not want to enlist, you put yourself at risk
for punishment.



Section B.
Arguing

Subsection 1.
In HQ

If there is an argument going on and someone asks you
to drop it, you are to do so immediately. When members
of our Airborne are fighting one another it makes us
look like we aren't united. If you continue the argument
after you have been asked to stop, you WILL be punished.

Subsection 2.
On The Forums

If someone makes a suggestion on the forums and it
isn't where it is supposed to be, just inform them on
where it should have been placed instead of immediately
bashing their post with criticism. Fighting over personal
issues on the forum should not be made public. If you have
a problem with something someone says, send them a Personal
Message and leave it out of the eyes of the public. Again
people see that we are arguing and wonder how united we
really are. And after all, we are a Military of One!



Section C.
Swearing

Swearing should be kept to a minimum. There are a lot
of younger players who are on Habbo. Parents are often
watching them. If a parent sees swearing, they aren't going
to let their child play Habbo anymore. Swearing also makes
us look very unprofessional and immature.



Section D.
Civilians

Civilians are to be treated with the utmost respect.
They are possible recruits and they keep us populated.
Without the civilians, we would not be where we are today.
Any attitude towards civilians is likely to get you
a punishment from an officer who sees it. Civilians
can report you to an officer for improper behavior so
keep that in mind when handling them. And while a lot
of civilians aren't the brightest people, you need to
refrain from calling them "noob" and other names.



Section E.
Out of HQ

Regardless of where you are at, you need to follow
the code of conduct because, not only do you show yourself
in your actions, but you represent the entire USM.
You need to act like you are a mature member of the
USM at all times.
