I'd like to witness as well, although I can't really attest to his Clan Ops history. As CEO, many instances have been mentioned but I'd like to again point out specifically our Hydra Peace talk situation, as it applies to major strife and perseverance. The blatant lies and outright animosity directly aimed at several of us over this topic was at a level I have NEVER seen in this community in almost a decade. King kept going strong through these talks, and really was better than some of us at keeping a level head during the situations in house that occurred. To get a grasp of how much strife was involved, these situations that went on led to a member of the Board retiring and another Board member almost leaving the community altogether. I'm going to be honest, even considering this as one extended situation, these issues dragged on for WEEKS. This in itself should qualify King for Die Hard.

Gamertag: KSI Airborne 7 Forums: @KSI Airborne 7 award: Gold Oustanding service Evidence: Airborne has been a down to earth and straight shot kinda guy since joining KSI back in 2012. He charged theough the ranks in DR, eventually making his way to Co-Div Lead. He split squads, led his staff, and had DR at the top of the food chain for a very long time. It was at this point Airborne felt Clan Ops wasnt for him, he switched it up and went the department route. And he didnt stop and do some mediocre work there. He came in like a wrecking ball, pumping some life into the AAP department, Airborne is directly responsible for where the AAP is today with its structure and policies. Now as a board member hes playing two different roles at the same time. He diving into uncharted waters heading up as KSI's PR contact with other communities, shops, and etc. All while still heading departments as the Chief Department Manager. Airborne has been through the ringer in his time, and there has been times where things got to be too much, but he stuck it out for the community be loves so much. When he takes on a project, he does with the intent of putting maximum effort into it. See the list of awards below to get an idea of the path Airborne has walked in his KSI tenure. i would also like to call on the following to witness. @KSI Tea 7 @KSI MeShell 7 @KSI xKing 77 @KSI Swag 77 @Mr. DropShot @KSIxAsuma 77 Awards earned: Hall of Fame Divisional Hall of Fame 2020 OTY Runnerup 2019 OTY Runnerup 2017 OTY Runnerup Forum Staff OTM (1,2 and 3) Co Division Leader OTM Founder OTMx2 Captain OTMx2 Lieutenant OTM Triple Threat OS lvl 1&2

Gamertag: KSI Airborne 7 Forums: @KSI Airborne 7 award: Gold Oustanding service Evidence: Airborne has been super helpful to me in the past! Any question you have for him he either knows the answer already or gets you an answer as soon as he possibly can. When KSI was still getting their merch made by Pegasus, I ordered a jersey and the logo was backwards. I talked to airborne he went out of his way and he talked to the guy that made the merch.. instantly got an email to contact Pegasus and got a jersey correctly made.

While I can't speak on King's Clan Ops history, I have first hand seen the great leader he is and the strife he has gone through on the administrative side of things. There are two major instances of strife that come to my head when I think of King. The first instance would be during the peace talks between KSI and Hydra. While I won't go into details of what was said, I will say that King and the entire Board of Director Staff at the time was constantly attacked and lied on while these talks were going on. Since he was one of the main ones pushing for a better community experience, he was also one of the main ones constantly being attacked and degraded both in public and in private settings. I have been in this community for almost 9 years, and I will be the first to say that I have never seen anything this bad or anyone attacked this hard by fellow leaders of this community, and I know for sure I would given up and walked away from it if I was one of the ones being attacked like this. No matter how bad it got though, King would come to work the next day still pushing for a better KSI, while also pushing for peace within our own community as well. He never let his frustrations out on anyone else, even those that opposed him. The second instance of strife also comes around the same time period, but this time has to do with his promotion to CEO. When King was promoted to CEO, the community was completely divided and the Leadership Council was in shambles because of these peace talks. While there was questions about his promotion and even doubts if he would be the right man for the job, King looked passed those concerns and showed why he was the right man for the job. He shaped the Board of Directors into one of the most well rounded Board this community has ever seen, while also being one of the main guys that led this community to Peace with Hydra, as well as us working more closely with .com to better both communities. In closing, I can not think of anyone better to earn this award. I wish I could have gone into more detail regarding the instances of strife that this man has faced, but some things just don't need to be said in a public forum. King has continues to be an excellent leader through all of these trials, and an amazing mentor to myself and many others in this community.

Dropping Vote To Witness My arch nemesis in Madden lol jk maybe but in all seriousness Airborne is definitely deserving of this award in many ways my first interaction with Airborne was AAP when he was Senior Staff and he had to correct me on a vote and instead of making me feel dumb he actually taught me something but later on down the road when the old AAP head transitioned to the BoD we had a new one who didn't do anything and instead of sitting there and waiting Airborne was the person who kept us all motivated and kept us going and it was that outstanding leadership that got him promoted and under him AAP thrived and he then got his board position but doesn't mean he left us because he still gets in the mix with us and helps us when we need it but Airborne is also very active with other aspects of the community often times you find him with divisions and squads mixing it up in Modern Warefare or Madden and a variety of games now you have to ask yourself how does that qualify as something outstanding well I'll tell you from personal experience I was recruited in 2014 and you seen a lot of things but you didn't see BoD members with the members TBH unless they were part of the clique but AB isn't that BoD member to me Airborne should've gotten this level of OS ages ago but nonetheless he is most definitely qualified and deserving of it

Who agrees with me that KSI is the best gaming community around with the best members and officers.
