Link to forums account - @KSI Shockr 7
Reasoning why they deserve this - Shockr has done a solid job of stepping up to the plate as Co-Fo when he got promoted I never really knew him just heard that he was a solid leader. And that showed when he was put over Sinister he really helped me out with any questions or giving me idea's on how I might handle a situation. 

General
KSI DntAsk 7(GEN - DM/Venom)

Reasoning why they deserve this - DntAsk was strait up a amazing GEN she is always looking out for members and will even take the time out of her day if you have any questions or just want to hang out for a bit. 


SSGT
KSI Shatner (SSGT - DM/Sinister) 
Link to forums account - @KSI Shatner
Reasoning why they deserve this - This man is one of those people who had a really funny gamertag when recruited and you think this person might be a problem. But I was very wrong... He really stepped up to the plate when becoming an officer, doing everything he can to improve himself. Being a positive force in the squad and just being a natural leader.

Division Leader
Gamertag: KSI Swag 77 (Division Leader of SL)
Link to forums account: @KSI Swag 77
Testimony:

 

Swag has been a Division Leader for SL for about three months now. Every single day this guy gives his division his all. He is always in a party with his members, getting to know everyone. He handles all situations, good or bad, with his respective Co-Founder with precision and extreme attention to detail. He has never had a day where he has not signed into his Omega. Since being his director, there is not one thing I have called him on that was proven to be delinquent or negligent. His ability to forecast potential hazards for SL, has been out of this world and has saved him a fair amount of grief to encounter in the future. He is not greedy for success, he has shown me he is willing to take the ethical approach to a shared success amongst his 7's staff. This month he made a decision that will secure future victories for SL. That was to mini-split Templar into Prestige to give it aid and enhance the development process of building Prestige into a powerhouse SL can bank off in the future. To me, this speaks volumes of his character. The average Division Leader would use to opportunity to create their squad, to build a sense of personal success within the division. But, he put his pride away and went to work to build the best division he can, within his control. He is simply on top of his game. Please feel free to read the best selling book I wrote about him on his OS3 nomination post for more details on Swag. I'm proud of you man. 

Co-Founder
Gamertag: KSI DC 7 (Co-Founder of SL)
Link to account: @KSI DC 7
Testimony:

DC 7 had a huge hand to play in the overall success of Templar for March. Yesterday, Templar started its process to mini-split into Prestige, a move that seriously needed to happen to enhance the infrastructure within Prestige. This move was pivotal for the division and will secure more victories for SL in time to come. DC 7 spoke to his General, SlickNick more then often to go over the dynamics of Templar to ensure the squad would thrive after the move. They also checked on fluff, the officer core's strength and weakness's in its entirety, activity, recruiting, etc. Slick is one of the newer Gens SL has. So, it was a huge win for DC 7, Slick, and the entire Officer Core of Templar. As of now, the mini-split is already yielding results for Prestige, proving it to be the right decision for both squads. I thank all of the divisional staff for SL for their proven dedication, resilience, and energy for everything each of them has put into SL to make this division what it is. I cant thank you guys enough. I am extremely proud of you guys. Honorable mentions to Cody and DC. Keep up the great work guys. 

General
Gamertag: KSI SlickNick (General of Templar, SL)
Link to forums account: @KSI SlickNick
Testimony: 

To kick this off, this guy has only been a General since February 20th. Yet, on March 30th, he conducted a mini-split (refer to above) that is heavily valued to the division. Templar was alotted to carry out this action, mainly because Slick has grown Templar out quite extensively, at the time of his promotion. Templar was at 82 people. One month after his promotion, Templar was rocking out at 120+. One of our squads has had somewhat of a rough time, since they were dealt a less than desirable set of cards about two months ago. Prestige has been working through it diligently, but Templar's mini-split will enhance the process and make Prestige a powerhouse squad for SL. This would not be possible without the extreme amount of work SlickNick has been putting in since wearing the rank of General. He hit the ground running and hasn't looked back. He came into the rank with the right mindset, and it shows. He took over Templar and was immediately respected by his Officers. Every time I look at the Templar Officer Chat, I see a group of guys that put away personal distress aside and make stuff happen. SlickNick has been a diamond in the rough for SL, and I cant wait to see what other wonders he will conjure for SL as his tenure progresses. 

Captain
Gamertag: KSI HIPPARU (Captain of Prestige, SL)
Link to forums account: @KSI HIPPARU
Testimony:

KSI HIPPARU in March has proven to be a valuable asset for Prestige and SL overall. I always see her in discord directing the squad into workshops, game nights, meetings etc. She and her peers have carried the activity of the squad and has made Prestige truly a place to call home for her members. HIPPARU has pushed through the pressure the division has placed on her. In SL, the bar is high. She has acknowledged that, and has made that her platform for success. She party hops, mentors, trains, recruits almost on a daily. When she isn't recruiting, she assists KSI Kakashii 77 as the sole captain of Prestige. HIPPARU didn't come into KSI looking for any rank, or any whopping plans of world domination. But, she saw a need for leadership, and she dove head first into the position. Starting, she didn't know what she was doing. The training was to par, but she did not have much time to grow. So, what we are seeing here is a Officer who is figuring out as she goes, while adhering to the standards the division has placed on all squads. Yet, shes rocking it out of the park. The squad would truly not be where it is without her. With her resilience, empathy, confidence, and personal accountability, she is becoming a force to be reckoned with and I think the division is seeing a General in training at the moment. 

LT
Gamertag: KSI xReckless (LT of Knights, SL)
Link to forums account: @KSI xReckless
Testimony:

 

 Reckless is the missing piece of the Knights puzzle. Reckless has been in KSI for almost a year, but until this month hasn't come out of his shell. But, he didn't come out of the cocoon until he felt truly ready. Right off the bat, this guy started going to work for Templar, and then Knights. This guy has been on top of recruiting, but his main specialty has been mentoring. I have personally sat in multiple parties where he connecting the dots for our junior members, showing them how we operate and why. You can almost see a light bulb glowing in the party screen because Reckless has mastered mentally gauging the readiness of his lower-ranking personnel. From the way he talks, I can see the train of thought diving and weave in the party. He has a way of proving the information needed for success, without overdoing it and maybe losing the interest of an SSG candidate. He has made himself invaluable to his squad. He regularly teaches his SGT's how to recruit, host a game night, and has hosted a multitude of workshops for his squad's benefit. He has done an amazing job and fits "LT of the Month" exceptionally.

Link to forums account - @KSI R3AP3R
Reasoning why they deserve this - (not sure if this is his forms account due to an abundance of people called reaper but that is his exact Xbox gt... 

 

Reaper has gone above and beyond his responsibilitys as an SSgt in vanguard since becoming one. He has stayed active and most over recruited and kept up with member retention. 

There is some confusion surrounding my gt and forums account, which I have taken care of. It’s @KSI R3aPr

Director
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Grifful 7 (DirectorSL)
Link to forums account - @KSI Grifful 7
Reasoning why they deserve this - Grifful 7 has been an amazing leader and mentor to the majority of the leadership in SL. He's done an outstanding job directing the leadership, while still giving us the space to make our own decisions. He's constantly has the betterment of the community in mind and is never afraid to make a tough decision in order to help achieve that.

Division Leader
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Swag 77 (Div Lead SL)
Link to forums account - @KSI Swag 77
Reasoning why they deserve this - Swag is certainly a pillar of light to SL. Over the past month, he has come up with many new ideas and ways to shape the division for success. All of our 7s staff contribute to the team we are today, but we wouldn't be as successful, without Swag's leadership. It seems like literally every second that I see swag on xbox, he is trying to contribute to this community in some way. I can't say that about many other people.

LT
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI xReckless (LT Knights SL)
Link to forums account - @KSI xReckless
Reasoning why they deserve this - Over the past month, Reckless has taken on the role of LT, with great passion! Constantly wanting to help the community. Always wanting to train others and help them get acclimated to the community. He's an amazing role model, for our future leadership to follow. Even though, he is somewhat new to the officer core, I see great things to come.
 

SGT
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI PandaLeafy (SGT Knights SL)
Link to forums account - @Bootasious
Reasoning why they deserve this - Panda has always been known to be one of the best SGT's in SL. Always helping other members get engaged with the community. He hosts extremely successful events. Just like our officers, he is always willing to help someone in need. Over the past month, he has been shining extremely brightly in all of the categories.
