MEMBERSHIP RANKS & STRUCTURE

In order for BSB to operate in a fair and organised way, it's imperative to have a en effective chain of command. We currently have eight classes of membership, each class is broken up into several ranks.Ranks are reviewed at the end of each month announced shortly after. Promotions are awarded largely around membership commendations & awards, which in turn are based on several factors including competence, online attendances, contributions, attitude, conduct and performances.

Other Ranks

If a member's attendances and ability to support a campaign fall beneath the required levels and they are eligible, they may be be awarded the following ranks. These ranks depend largely on the members' service record and the nature of their retirement from active service.  These members are entitled to resume their previous rank (or nearest equivalent rank) should they return to full active service. For full details regarding these ranks, please refer to the "Hall of Fame" page.
