Hello TAW family, As you are all aware Vanguard is a critical area in TAW that is here to help grow our community with new titles, new divisions, and new members to fill it's ranks. We do this so we can continue to have multiple choices of games to play, with like minded people. I know for me I have met many people along the way and made many friendships, and I encourage all of you to do the same. With this being said, Vanguard is current looking for a new member to join our team to help teach, guide and support these new games that are coming into TAW.
We are looking for a EU member and a NA member based (time zone equivalent) that is passionate about helping to build and develop the skills needed once a team launches into Army. This individual will have a desire to teach, support and be available to step in when needed to help grow and build up a new unit. They will need to be flexible and supportive and able to interact with the awesome diversity we have here in TAW. As this will be a TFO position previous Battalion level experience would be an asset however considerations could be made if the right individual come out, TAW U classes are a must and need to be achieved to the TFO level.
If you or someone you would recommend fits this description, we would love to hear from you. We look forward to a great 2022 and helping to grow this community we are all a part of.
"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success”
