Frans Martono has been promoted to Advisor Level

[Frederic]

Congratulations @Frans M on reaching the Advisor Level with Carnity Offroad Club!

Dear Frans, you have shown to be cool as a cucumber, yet warm as a person. Your technical skills will come in handy but more than anything your leadership will ensure many people will happily follow you through the various deserts we have in the UAE!

@Ale Vallecchi will be your Professor taking you through the leaders lead sessions that will be organized soon! 🧑‍🏫

🏅 Advisor Level

The Advisor Level is the cornerstone of Team Carnity’s structure. Even as you progress to higher ranks, you will always remain an Advisor first. This role is about constructively helping, supporting, and advising others with mutual respect as part of our multicultural family.

Advisors are encouraged to share ideas, ask questions, and exchange views at any level - always respectfully, professionally, and confidentially for internal use.

This is the stage where your biggest transformation begins - from skilled off-roader to capable leader.

 

📌 Leaders Lead Session

At this level, you’ll join the exclusive Leaders Lead sessions - an intensive program with homework and pre-drive preparation. These sessions, conducted by Crew members for a select few Advisors, cover:

1. Advanced Sand Reading & Planning – terrain assessment, level setting, and emergency exits.
2. Navigational Leadership – using software to manage and scale convoy leads.
3. Extreme Convoy Management – leading, recovering, and handling convoys in the toughest UAE deserts.

This is exclusive, invaluable training available only to Advisors.

🚙 Path to Expert Level

Once you’ve completed the three steps above, you’ll be eligible to start leading under supervision:

1. Minimum 2 partial leads in daytime Fewbie drives (under Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision).
2. Minimum 4 full Fewbie leads planned, posted, and executed (Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision).

You may take on additional partial or full leads if you’d like more time to build confidence.

Upon successfully completing this journey, you’ll qualify for Expert promotion - a milestone that marks the beginning of your leadership legacy.

Selamat pak @Frans M on your well-deserved promotion to Advisor level. langsung gas BBQ 🤣.

Throughout many drives, you've always been someone people can rely on, bringing a great combination of technical expertise, sound judgment, and a calm presence in challenging situations.

One memorable example was the Green Jeep rollover recovery in Nahil, where your calm and firm approach, combined with your excellent technical skills, helped manage the situation safely and effectively. Your ability to stay composed under pressure and make the right decisions is something that inspires confidence in everyone around you.

I have no doubt that these qualities will make you an outstanding Advisor and convoy leader.

Looking forward to drive under your lead 🫡.
