THE ULTIMATE TRAINING GUIDE FOR STA AND WIJ
___
This thread contains information regarding the new Shock Trooper Academy changes and also includes most if not all training regulations; feel free to contact myself, any Colonel, Brigadier or Instructor if you have any problems or concerns about these changes. I and SilentSwords have been working together on ideas and figuring out the whole STA system. These changes will slowly and steadily increase STA activity and efficiency to a great level. But it'll take time and *your* effort. And the ideas that we’ve come up and hope that should improve quality and overall performance of STA are stated below:
- The Shock Trooper Academy Acceptance System
A new system has been put into place, and will be using the Mainframe for accepting people into STA. You are required to have the rank Operative, and an overall good or great Career with WIJ. Once you’ve met these requirements, PM an Instructor and he/she will look at your career and make the decision to accept or not. Once accepted, you will have to attend Training sessions to gain Tiers which in other words, is your STA Rank.
- The Shock Trooper Academy Progression Map
The new STA Progression map has been reconfigured to make it understandable and to improve the general knowledge of how the progression through STA goes.
Tier 1 > Tier 2 > Tier 3 > STT (Shock Trooper Test) > RFR (Ready for Review) > Shock Trooper Acceptance > Removal from STA
Optional (Must be in Shock Troopers, and has a good record on his/her career)
STA Acceptance > Trainer Test > RFR (Ready for Review) > Trainer (If passed)
Promotions are based on positive Shock Trooper Academy logs at the Mainframe. Five whole, really good logs are needed for a promotion. Once you reach Tier 3, you are ready for the Shock Trooper Test, but are required to have over 15 great logs.
- The Shock Trooper Academy Instructor Promotion Guide
Instructors work personally alongside the Academy-Commandant when dealing with: Marking Tests, recommending Training Outposts, small issues regarding Tiers (1-3) And many other smaller tasks. Instructors are handpicked by the Academy-Commandant who sees those who have potential to work harder and to shine above everyone else and help improve Shock Troopers Academy. There are no real requirements apart from having an excellent Career at the Mainframe and to work closely with the Academy-Commandant.
- The Shock Trooper Academy Trainer Promotion Guide
As seen in the Progression Map, to become a Trainer you are going to need to have a great Career at the Mainframe and to also be in Shock Troopers. Once accepted into Shock Troopers you are notified by an Instructor that you are able to become a Trainer and if you would like to take the opportunity. You are sent tests which are required to be finished within one week. They are marked by various Instructors which then give their recommendations to the Academy-Commandant whether to pass or fail the Trainees test. Trainers are now required to post on the WIJ or STA wall if their current server is full. Servers are not and will not be locked without Instructors permission. If caught locking a server without permission, you will be warned.
--- WIJ Shock Trooper Academy – Training Guide ---
This guide has been optimised and updated for the latest updates which concerns Training in-general and The Shock Troopers Academy. If you have any questions or concerns then please feel free to contact an Instructor, Colonel or Brigadier about it.
- Shock Trooper Academy Acceptance
To be able to join the Shock Troopers Academy, you must have the rank Operative+ and a good or great career on the Mainframe. If you think you have these requires, Pm an Instructor explaining that you’re ready for STA. The Instructor will look for your rank and you on the mainframe, once he/her thinks you’re ready, you will be accepted.
- Training and Promotions
Training is to be lead and to be lead only by Trainers, Instructors and Officers, Colonels, Brigadiers. Specifically STA training is only led by STA Trainers and Instructors. Promotions are given to those who earn it. You earn a STA promotion by having over five great or good STA logs, to get them you will need to attend at least five training sessions and to get the Trainers to log you on the mainframe. Once you obtain five great STA Logs, you are marked ready for a promotion, and the Instructor will promote you. If you do not receive a promotion, please contact an Instructor about it.
cP is awarded to those who work the hardest, show leadership and sportsmanship within his or her character. cP is given only in standard-WIJ trainings, not STA trainings. If you attend more training sessions, and show those skills and work hard you’re on your to becoming a Shock Trooper. WIJ and WIJ STA trainings are entirely different and do not add towards each other.
- Training Sessions Both WIJ and STA
When trainers or officers host official Training Sessions, it is required that they advertise his or her server, for example
“[TRAIN] WIJ Training session at Sinopia, please all follow. Spaces are limited, come quick. I’ll keep you updated.”
Is what we expect to see on the walls. Training sessions must be performed daily by the Trainers or Officers to keep the flow of cP and regularity of Training. If a Trainer or Officer fails to do so, they will be warned. The official places we expect to see training sessions, are below. Please do not train anywhere else, unless given permission by the Academy-Commandant.

- The Shock Trooper Acceptance
The WIJ Shock Troopers is the specialised elite division of the WIJ Corporation and is under direct command of the WIJ High Command. The Shock Troopers are used for invasions, raids and planet assaults. To get in, you must undergo tests. Of course, before you get to the stage of testing you will have to pass three Tiers (1, 2, and 3) which require, for every promotion, five new STA Logs. The tests consist of one Battle Test, which is yourself competing an Instructor. And an Intelligence test, which requires you to answer in great amounts of length and detail about the roles and problems that a Shock Trooper might encounter. The Intelligence test is to be completed once given permission by an Instructor. Once you have been promoted to Tier 3, please contact an Instructor or the Academy-Commandant once you think you’re ready to take it to the next level, and become a Shock Trooper. The Intelligence Test is below:
Please take your time to fill it out and do the best you can.
[Question One] – Shock Troopers are usually the ones fighting in final battles and carry a huge amount of responsibility and power. They handle respect and have proven themselves as elite. Can you handle it? What makes you think you can?
[Answer One] -
[Question Two] – You are in Cerulean in a Raider server. There is 10 minutes on the clock. You have three troopers and yourself against twelve Raiders. Most of them have over 70 KOs. The server has been recently captured, with a good 18 minutes left. Explain how you will approach this situation, capture the base, and capture the flag, assuming all players in the server will remain in the server. Note that there are two raiders in Sector 2, three raiders in the Armoury, two raiders guarding the Cliffside Entrance, two raiders guarding the Waterside Entrance, and three raiders on the Wall. Use as many technical terms as necessary.
[Answer Two] –
[
Question Three] – You are at Cobalt in a Raider server. Seven flags have been captured by the Raiders, the flag at Cobalt remains WIJ, and one neutral flag remains (Airstrip). All raiders have over 5,000 credits; own three Strikers, three Boats, and four Tanks. All vehicles are posted at Cobalt in a siege. Explain how you will retake all flags if you have four troopers and yourself against eleven raiders, assuming all players will remain in the server. Use as many technical terms as necessary.
[Answer Three] -
[Question Four] – You are at Indigo in a Raider server. The raiders (10) are approaching the cave entrance. You have one trooper, two sergeants, and yourself. One trooper is a safe chat user, however, he has 34 KOs and is currently using a SUF. The two sergeants have been in WIJ for months and are familiar with commands and strategy. All raiders have over 70 KOs. Explain how you will push the raiders back to the base without losing the armoury or bomb. Assume all players will remain in the server. Use as many technical terms as necessary.
[Answer Four] -
[Question Five] - Do you have anything else to say? Include it here. This is not a mandatory question.
[Answer Five] –
Once you have filled this out, please send it to one Instructor, who will then mark it and get it back to you by the end of that week.
- Kicking and Locking Servers
When trainers host servers, they post on either the WIJ or STA Wall, depending on the type of Training they are hosting. It is now required that once his or her server is full, that they post on the wall they previously posted on, that it’s full. Locking servers are ever used when your server is full and is currently in use. Locking servers also prevent hackers and other people from joining mid-game. You may unlock your server without permission, but when you relock it please contact an Instructor or myself about it. Kicking will only ever be done if given permission and your reason is valid. Kicking reasons may include: Hacking, Uncooperative, disobeys given orders etc...
- Unofficial Training sessions
The new policy will allow lower ranks to host unofficial training sessions. This allows the Officers, Trainers and Instructors to join later and to take command, and hand out cP to those he/her thinks deserve it. But only when the Officer has been in the unofficial training for a longer period of time. Performing unofficial training sessions proves that you’re dedicated to WIJ and its community; you gain important skills which will help you in your future career within WIJ. Corporal+ Have permission to perform these training sessions, when doing so you must advertise your server. In the advertisement you need to state your rank, the purpose and a link. Similar to what an Official training session would look like:
"[UNOFFICIAL TRAIN/CORPORAL] Guys I’m hosting an unofficial training at my outpost (link). We’re doing target practice and a raid simulation."
- Overall Training and Trainee Rules
When trainers train, they must follow strict rules. These rules keep the Trainers in-line and make sure that Training is done regularly. Note that we use the term Trainers for both STA Trainers and WIJ Officers+
> Trainers must not lock or kick servers without permission.
> Trainers are required to train daily.
> Trainers must be able to react to situations which require quick actions.
> Trainers must remain active.
> Trainers must award both cP or Logs those who deserve, and no one else. Think 3-4 people in a 14-men server. It’s even possible not to award any cP or Logs in case the training was awful.
> Trainers must never abuse their entrusted powers.
>When STA Trainers add Logs, only check the “STA Tier Progression” box when the STA Trainee has obtained 5 whole positive STA logs after his last tier progression. Don’t forget to check that.
If these rules are not followed, it will result in regular warnings and in worse situations it can cost you your rank. The rules are put in to place to keep WIJ’s Community safe and above all else, reliable.
- Trainer Test
As trainers, your entrusted with allot of power and responsibility. As trainers you are required to Train daily, monitor the Shock Trooper Academy Wall, award Cp and Logs and to keep regular contact with your colleagues and the Instructors. It is vital that communication is maintained strong, as it helps inform the Instructors and myself if you’re going to be inactive, or other problems have risen. The Trainer test requires you to have a great career on the mainframe, along with being in the Shock Troopers. The test consists of two Theory tests and one Observation test.
Link to the Theory sets (http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=64547747)
Once you complete set one, you are allowed to move on to set two. And then finally, the observation test.
This guide has been optimized to make it understandable. If you have any problems or concerns about this guide, please contact the Academy-Commandant. If you have any other problems which doesn’t concern the guide, but Training please contact an Instructor or Colonel depending on the matter (STA or WIJ). Thank you.
