[Request] Enlistment form specifying the state #349

Open Tuomainen opened 9 years ago

Enlistment liaisons needs to be able to convert the training times to the recruits. For this, we would need the information from which state the recruit is applying from USA/Canada. So instead of just giving an option "USA" or "Canada", it would need the same options that the old form had, listing all the states. Unless you can make a system where a recruit is automatically converted 7pm EST/2PM EST to their location's time...

Can you clarify the intention of this? Is this so that we can tell the recruits, "your BCT starts at XX:00 XST" in their timezone so they're more likely to turn up at the right time? Or is it to put them in a training platoon that's more appropriate to their timezone?

With the states, it would make it easier to convert the times for North Americans. because if a recruit lists 'Neither' or a timezone outside their region for their preferred time, enlistment liaison will ask the following question:

Before your application can be processed you'll need to confirm your selected preferred time.

We have two options for incoming members:
(A) Attend 1 week of Basic Training at 7pm EST/Midnight GMT (XX your time)
(B) Attend 1 week of Basic Training at 2pm EST/7pm GMT (XX your time)

Next Basic Training for Option A is scheduled for MONTH DD - DD.
Next Basic Training for Option B is scheduled for MONTH DD - DD.

After you graduate Basic Training, you will then be assigned to a squad. There are similar options with that:
(A) A squad which drills at around 8pm EST/1am GMT (XX your time)
(B) A squad which drills at around 3pm EST/8pm GMT (XX your time)
