What is conduct as far as recruitment for Former Military? Is it just the same as regular recruitment of citizens?
It's the same process as a civilian would apply, yes. But we put an emphasis on making sure that your military career would resemble your character, as well as your military job. You would have to list the branch you were in, your rank, MOS, etc. And obviously it has to be realistic.
So be it if someone were in the military, and wanted to join the force, how would they go about applying then? Just like a regular person would? Without the perks of past training and expertise in that field?
Correct. Military roleplay is primarily done for character development and how people portray their character. It's still the same process as you would apply as a regular civilian whether its to become an officer, or join a division within the department. But you can use your military experience that your character developed to strengthen your skillset. For example, if you served in the infantry and want to apply for SWAT, you can share that you have experience involving firearms, breaching, etc. when applying for a position as you have encountered these situations while serving in the military. Military roleplay doesn't necessarily give you an advantage, but just gives you options for more immerse roleplay opportunities. With that being said, it's obvious that if you portray your character to have extensive military experience you should have some kind of actual knowledge that you can back it up IC. For example, if you roleplay some kind of a war hero that has years of experience being in Special Forces, and you get asked what a "fatal funnel" is, then you would be expect to know it. Hope this helps.
