Benje_Junior has been promoted to Advisor level

[Gaurav]

Congratulations @Benje_Junior for reaching the Advisor Level with Carnity Offroad Club.

Looking forward to seeing you grow further and helping others to learn the art of offroading in a safe environment.

Please make sure your Carnity user profile is always updated with all the latest Emergency contact details.

 

ADVISOR

This Advisor level is the cornerstone of the Team Carnity Structure as you will always remain an "Advisor" first even when you attain a Marshal rank. As an advisor, you will constructively help, support, and advise other advisors with "respect" being part of this big multicultural family. You can discuss or even question ideas at any level but respectfully and professionally by keeping all the dialogue exchanges confidential for internal use only.

Your biggest transformation from an off-roader to a leader will be done at this level. With solid experience in supporting drives and handling recoveries, you will join the most comprehensive and power-packed Leaders Lead session.

The Leaders Lead Session, which consists of significant homework and preparation in advance of the drives, will eventually teach you all about leading and navigating in the desert, extreme recovery scenarios, and learning to lead the convoy in the various terrains UAE has to offer. These sessions are conducted by a crew member, tailored specifically for you, and done for a handful of members only at a time.

This is invaluable information and exclusive training that you will only receive at the Advisor level with Carnity.

You will be learning the basics of leading the convoy in the desert in three different steps:

• Advance sand reading, planning your lead, terrain, level, and emergency exits.
• Lead with navigational software to systematically scale the lead for all the cars in the convoy.
• Ability to lead, recover and manage the convoy in the most extreme desert available in the UAE.

 

Once you complete these 3 steps then you will be eligible to lead drives under supervision:

 

• Minimum two partial leads for any daytime Fewbie drives under Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision.
• Plan, post, and a lead minimum of four daytime Fewbie drives under Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision.
   

You can extend above two partial or four full leads if you need more time to develop confidence.

 

Once you successfully, complete the minimum of two partial and four full leads under supervision, then you will be eligible for your Expert promotion.

Thank you @Gaurav for this amazing opportunity! I've been looking forward to climbing the ranks within @Carnity one step at a time every drive has taught me new invaluable information, which I'm looking forward to teaching and demonstrating to new or pre-existing off-roaders.

Since the beginning I've looked up to you, @Frederic, @davie c smooth operator, @Brette, @DP1011, @Islam Soliman , @M.Seidam, @Looper, @Srikumar and many of the other members of Team Carnity who have all individually supported me and instructed me from the beginning to where I am now. I can confidently say I'm looking forward to taking teachings from all of you again in a completely new aspect.

 

@davie c smooth operator Thank you, mate! I'm looking forward to learning more from you as we begin to lead together, your way of tackling situations and keeping a cool mindset has always inspired me to take any situation with the same standard.
