The Brain

In Spagistan, Compitance is measured by the brain. Stages of brain development have been measured and are as such:

Stage 1: Smooth Brain
Smooth Brainage is the most common type of brain in Spagistan. "Smooth" Brain was first used to describe someone by Sgt. Shane. As the name implies, the Brain itself is completely smooth with no wrinkles. This is the standard for any Privates in the Spagistan Military. Smooth Brains can typically be found sitting in the middle of the road, or any place out of cover unless told to be in cover by a NCO. They have been known to not even have their gun loaded. It has also been recorded that they often panic if they are injured or if their NCO is unconscious. As such, Smooth Brains do not have a very high life expectancy.

Stage 2: Start of a Wrinkle
Smooth Brains put through NCO training may start to see Wrinkles in their Brain instead of being consistently Smooth. If put through enough training and missions, the Brain will get more and more wrinkles over time. As more wrinkles form, the life expectancy goes up in a direct proportion. Visible improvement is also possible, to note, the Slight Wrinkle Brain may use cover more and have there gun loaded for more than 50% of the time.



Stage 3: Fire Team Leader Wrinkles
A Team Leaders Brain will have more Wrinkles than a Stage 2 and Stage 1 Brain combined. These Wrinkles help the Team Leader to command his troops and successfully with relative ease. With more Wrinkles under their belt, the Fire Team Leader is expected to be competent enough to make sure his Smooth Brains have the right equipment, radio channels, and team color. Without the Wrinkles, the Platoon could not function as a whole.



Stage 4: Squad Leader Wrinkles
A Squad Leaders Brain is expected to be full of wrinkles. So much so that a Regular Smooth Brain cant comprehend. Being a Squad Leader requires the knowledge, experience, and wrinkles to command the Fire Team Leaders effectively. Becoming a Squad Leader typically happens after being mentored by another Squad Leader or Platoon leader. Becoming a Squad Leader is a remarkable achievement and as such, smooth brains look up to Squad Leaders. Whether it be for mentoring or fame, smooth brains wish they could be a Squad Leader one day.

Stage 5: Platoon Leader Wrinkles
In the command tree, Platoon leader is the very top. Becoming a Platoon Leader is a very high Achievement for any Spagistani Soldier. Getting enough Wrinkles for Platoon Leader takes a very long time and doing tasks of very high Intelligence. Platoon Leaders are expected to command there platoons effectively with no issue. As such, becoming a Platoon Leader requires lots of training, experience, and mentoring from other Platoon Leaders. Once a Platoon Leader, they are expected to keep there smooth brains underneath them in check.
