Colbert National Guard

The following are the Rules & Regulations for the C.N.G. approved by the Commanding Officer, Eagle 1. These are based on common sense, and on the rules of the Colbert Nation forums. In the event you disagree with any of the following, feel free to contact Eagle 1, without fear of reprecussions.

Expectations of all Colbert National Guard Members

• As a member of the Colbert National Guard, you agree to present yourself in a respectful and curtious manner at all times while on the Colbert Nation forums, C.N.G. forums, or any place in which you represent the C.N.G., such as through signatures at other sites.

• Members are expected to follow all orders given to them by Eagle 1, but to realize that it is also your duty to question an order in which you believe to be unlawful - this would include any order that instructs you to do anything illegal. If you believe an order to be unlawful, given by Eagle 1, or anyone in which he may put in a command position, to come foward with this thought immediately to Eagle 1 himself (reguardless on if it's him or not), and to also suggest openly not to do the mission and/or order assigned.

• Members may not say to others that they're the Commanding Officer, or in any command position, without rightfully holding that position.

• Members may not openly say that there is a mission for the C.N.G. without it being previously approved. All mission announcments will be given out by Eagle 1 at this time.
