SLs should be automatically given a medal for sticking their hand in the fire because it hurts.

If you can't deal with the dungas, perhaps it best to not sign yourself up to babysit the ungas.

Delta gets the most vets and regs than any other squads.

That means that the probabilities that JUST baldies got in is reduced. That means that they decide to ignore you'

That means that you should step up and change, not the contrary.

SL needs incentives, like more comfortable gear (like a black webbing instead of the regular one), they don't need additional meme-medals.

And SL got hugely buffed by the comms nerf, my SL life is waaaay easier than before.

+1 - I rarely have a problem leading Delta. I do if I make myself look foolish somehow and then they decide to all do their own thing. It takes a lot of skill to lead them, and it helps if they've seen you be a good SL for them before.

If people got medals for doing their job I would probably be swimming in them by now.

As far as things go try to be competent and maybe an SO or the CO will notice?

You see, you think Deltas aren't listening to you because they're braindead... but over here in reality you made your forum account a week ago and have no idea how to SL. Marines will listen to you when you git gud.

Delta SL is actually pretty fun. They tend to listen if you give them non-shit orders, and sate the bloodlust.

Though if you get FOB duty, its over.

Delta has a rock solid core of engies and medics, and Spec and SG is just a crapshoot cause they're the most rolled (occasionally robust AF, occasionally a wasted slot on some baldy), but Delta has the absolute most robust PFCs, and despite the Deltard reputation every real Deltard gets what it takes to win: good combat spacing, speed, trigger discipline, charging when it's necessary, when to use AP, what attachements to take, and most importantly personal bravery. When you SL for Delta, you can always make something happen in the battlespace even if you just have 2-3 Delta PFCs with you.

I do feel bad for the guy that wants to try out SL and rolls Delta, but it's a consistent squad. They'll get the job done and sometimes their definition of "job" doesn't fit the orders given.

Feels like an Acid Goop thread with that start line, but I'll give it a serious response.
I consider medals to be for those truly rare moments when the stars align and private baldie just saved the whole squad. Giving them out left and right as some CO/XO's do, just makes them feel pointless.
I have a few whitelists and a few characters...
