Vietnam for Minister of Military Affairs
Note: Too lazy for fancy slogans and words
Introduction
I have been a citizen/legislator of the South Pacific for over 7 months since June 2016, while I was not very active in our region's politics, I was very active in the field of military gameplay on NationStates. I became a member of the South Pacific Special Forces, our proud military in July, when it was under the leadership of Imki which has performed an incredible revival of the army. I went for inactive for a short period before came back as a very active member in September. Since then, I have participated in numerous military operations, ranging from raiding to defending with our military and our allies. I have continued to improve myself, equiped myself with knowledge through self-researching, instructing from other members (The most considerable was Roavin) and various mistakes. I have lead dozens of allied defend operations with our friends such as the Grey Wardens, 10000 Islands and the Renegade Island Alliance since October and recently, pretty large-scale invasions on regions that put out hateful ideologies with both our defender and raider friends such as Firehelm. I worked with many great, great individuals on both sides of the military gameplay such as Tim, Altmoras, Red Dusk and Roavin and have learned a lot from them. I was put into the Officer and recently, the General position of our military which shown how long was my way from a total noob in June 2016.
Since Roavin wanted to shift his attention more to his leadership position in The Grey Wardens, and I personally want to improve our military as well as try to run for an elected office in The South Pacific for the first time, I accepted my nomination and decided to run for the Minister of Military Affairs.
Our current position
Our military, the South Pacific Special Force (SPSF) has been a small but skilled army that sought to bring the fun and knowledge to people that are interest in military gameplay. Our military has been revived by the woderful Imki and strengthened more by Roavin which has did an amazing job at training and developing the skills of our military. The SPSF has participated in dozens of military operations, both alone and with allies that protected dozens of innocent regions and ruined several regions that spited out the hatefulness and the intolerence. Many of our members have been skilled players with dedication, and some of them have used the knowledge they got when they were in the SPSF to further advance in other places on NationStates. These shown how awesome was our military and its leaders recently.
However, as always, there are some downsides, fails and errors in our military currently. The text lessons about military gameplay on our forum are simply a little bit too verbose as of currently. Also lots of other vital information are missing. Our training program is currently too slow, new members aren't getting into training fast enough, some delays have happened resulted in new members lost their interest in our military. Lots of members are still stucking in the Trainee ranking. The go-on-update-and-explain training method has caused some confusions and stresses for new members, especially when we were training them about raider chasing.
My direction
Our current ideology, which is de jure independent and de facto defender-aligned will be keep. The SPSF should keep work with defender organizations such as The Grey Wardens, 10000 Islands Treaty Organization. We should make the SPSF more anti-fascist by increasing the numbers of tag raids as well as occupation raids on regions that promotes hateful ideologies such as fascism and Nazism. Also, we should assist our allies and friends during events such as Delegacy transitions and I will cooporate more closely with the Minister of Foreign Affairs on this. We should also try to make all of this to be fun and relaxed instead of too political-driven and serious.
The on-forum text tutorials on military gameplay will need an overhaul, eliminate outdated information and add in new information. We should keep go-on-update training sessions from becoming too stressful and confusion, especially chasing training sessions. Roavin-proposed "one team performs tag raids and other team performs chasing on the tag raid team" ought to be the first training session for newbies who haven't known about chasing yet. Try to avoid bringing newbies into high-speed stressful real chasing missions.
Finally, as stated above, military gameplay needs to be fun and relaxed as much as possible. We're just a couple of people entertain in front of the computer in free time. Politics, dramas and over-seriousness should be avoided as much as possible in military gameplay.
We shall keep the gloriousness and the proudness of the SPSF flag from becoming faded away.
You can ask any question below and I will try to answer them.
