REPORTING TO THE FLEET
Use the STATS and EVENTS tabs at the top to
switch between your character stats and the quarterly events. You are currently on the EVENTS tab.
You've completed boot camp and checked in to your first unit. Before you advance your first quarter, here's what you need to know.
LEFT PANELSTATS TAB — YOUR STATS
- READINESS Physical Fitness, Proficiency/Conduct, MOS Skills, and Discipline Risk. These drive promotions and your reputation with leadership. Red bars are danger zones.
- WELL-BEING Stress and Morale are linked — chronic high stress will erode everything else. Family Stability matters more once you're married.
- FINANCE Track the gap between Monthly Pay and Monthly Bills — that's your savings margin. Debt compounds at 12% APR monthly. Don't let it spiral.
- CAREER TRACKS Four paths — Retirement, High Achiever, Smooth EAS, and Family First. They evolve with your decisions; you're not locked in to one.
RIGHT PANELEVENTS TAB (this screen) — EACH QUARTER
- EVENTS Random situations will appear each quarter — deployments, career opportunities, personal crises. Each one requires a choice. Resolve all events before you can advance. Some events are marked CHANCE — these resolve immediately with a single acknowledge button. No choice, just consequences.
- BANDWIDTH You have a limited pool of Bandwidth points each quarter — your capacity for effort beyond normal duties. Spend them on focus choices (cost shown in the corner of each card). You can split across multiple choices or go all-in on one. Unused points vanish. Senior NCOs get more; burned-out Marines get less.
- ADVANCE QUARTER Once all events are resolved and at least one focus choice is selected, the Advance button unlocks. Each advance moves time forward three months.
THINGS THAT WILL BITE YOU
- DEBT Grows every month — $10k triggers command involvement.
- PME Required for promotion past Corporal. Look for the PME focus option.
- PCS MOVES First move arrives after roughly 2–3 years; then every 3–4 years after that. They cost money and temporarily shake morale.
- REENLISTMENT Windows have Sign-On Bonuses (SRB). Timing and your ProCon score affect the offer.
- RIFLE QUAL Each contract you'll be sent to the range. A pre-range safety quiz comes first — know your Four Safety Rules and weapon conditions or the RSO will send you home. Qual scores affect your record.
