We are posting for Captain positions

I wanted to announce that the process has begun. The number is not a solid number, so I cant tell you how many will be chosen. Each applicant will got through testing, interview, etc.. These people are joining the management team, so I am looking for not only excellent performance skills, but also an equally great attitude and a willingness to learn.

A change of status form must be turned to my office no later than March 10 at 08:00.
