[Capt. Sir Mick Preston]

# 39RZ1 :The Military Reserve Reformation Act

WHEREAS The Naval Reorganization Act 35 RZ32 set forth guidelines governing the Department of Defence and

WHEREAS this same Act mandates that an Admiral must, upon appointment to the office of either Minister of Defence or Prime Minister, resign the appointment of Admiral and relinquish all privileges of rank and

WHEREAS that is kind of unfair since other Officers get to simply serve in inactive reserve status and

WHEREAS the position of Admiral is one that should not be left vacant while an Admiral serves as the Minister of Defence and

WHEREAS 36 RZ7 contains no such requirement for the Captain of the Guard and

WHEREAS the Captain of the Guard is a post that should not be held by the Prime Minister or Minister of Defence and

WHEREAS the post should also not be left vacant while the Captain of Guard serves on inactive status as a Prime Minister or Minister of Defence and so

THEREFORE the positions of "Vice Admiral of the Fleet Reserve" and "Commandant" are hereby established. The position of Vice Admiral of the Fleet Reserve will hold the grade of O-5 like that of the Admiral, but shall exist only within the Inactive Reserves. The Position of Commandant shall be the equivalent rank to the Capitán d’Altahál but shall exist only within the Inactive Reserves.

1. Any Admiral called to service as the Minister of Defence or Prime Minister shall have the option to resign the position of Admiral and accept the inactive reserve position of Vice Admiral of the Fleet Reserve. Anyone holding this rank shall be styled "Vice Admiral." No person may attain this rank without first having held the rank of "Admiral."

A. Upon completion of service as Minister of Defence or Prime Minister, one may continue their service in the inactive reserves as a Vice Admiral of the Fleet until such time as they are eligible for retirement or are called back to active service as the Admiral.

B. A Vice Admiral of the Fleet Reserve may return to active duty as a Commodore O-4 if not re-appointed to the position of Admiral and will serve in a command or staff position as determined by the Minister of Defence.

2. FURTHERMORE, 36 RZ7 Section 2 subparagraph D is amended to read:

A. El Capitán d’Altahál shall be appointed by the Minister of Defence upon recommendation of the Sovereign, and shall serve at the pleasure of the Sovereign. El Capitán d’Altahál shall be chosen from the voting citizens of the Kingdom who have actual infantry experience, as obtained through the Talossan Marine Corps or through service in the Army or Marine Corps (or their local equivalent) of any other nation. The Capitán d’Altahál shall not also hold the office of Prime Minister or Minister of Defence. If the Capitán d’Altahál should be called up to one of these positions, they shall be required to resign from their position for the duration of their service to the Prime Ministry or Ministry of Defence.

B. When the Capitán d’Altahál is called up to service, s/he will have the option of assuming the Reserve position of Commandant. At the conclusion of their service as Prime Minister or Minister of Defence, they may remain in the Reserves at the Rank of Commandant until eligible for retirement in accordance with present military regulations or may return to Active Duty. In the event the position of Capitán d’Altahál is filled by another or the Commandant is not nominated to that position again, the Commandant may transfer to the Active Component of the Marine Corps with the rank of Capitán (Captain) and assigned to a command or staff position at the discretion of the Minister of Defence.

# 39RZ4 : The BOHICA Act

WHEREAS Talossa has an active, all volunteer armed service and

WHEREAS serving one's country is a good thing and

WHEREAS all good things must come to an end and

WHEREAS veterans of the Talossan military should be afforded due credit for their service so

THEREFORE it be resolved that members shall be discharged from the military under one of the three following discharge characters:

HONOURABLE - Awarded to a member who, upon discharge, has conducted themselves with honour during the period of their enlistment and to whom any lesser discharge would be inappropriate.

GENERAL - Awarded to a member whose record of conduct is marred by some minor disciplinary infractions. This discharge will be awarded upon recommendation of a senior officer and is subject to final approval by the Minister of Defence.

DISMISSAL - A removal from the service due to severe disciplinary infractions or conviction by the High Cort or as laid out by active military law and regulation. The final approving authority for awarding this discharge to an enlisted person is the Minister of Defence and the King for Officers and Warrant Officers.

All veterans discharged under HONOURABLE or GENERAL conditions will be entitled to wear all military medals awarded during their service. Service members who are DISMISSED from the service of the King may not re-enter military service unless authority is granted by the Royal Household.

Discharges may be upgraded after the fact by Royal decree or a ruling made by a Discharge Review Board and signed by the Minister of Defence. No discharge may be downgraded after being issued.

Veterans discharged under GENERAL conditions or who are DISMISSED from the King's service may make a formal request for review by the Discharge Review Board and the Minister of Defence to consider an upgrade of discharge character.

Service members approved for "Retired" status will be awarded an Honourable Discharge and will be permitted to retain their rank with the post-nominal "Ret." or "Retired" along with the member's respective branch of service.
