What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Adds a rule that makes the minimum age of the (Lt) Commander of MTF units to be 18+
Potentially adds the age requirement can be lowered with relevant experience or with discretion of SL
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I dont know
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Adds a minor maturity buffer to a VERY important role
At least makes it so the person can be so-so trusted as it more so.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Maybe manpowershortage, if no ones eligle to be promoted to it.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
It should add a maturity and competency buffer to these 2 very important roles, i dont think someone under the age of 18 should be entrusted with this responsibility, unless they had demonstrable experience. eg 1 year as a major, already a staff member etc. Unless i am mistaken, i belive most other CL4 roles have a white list process for it and/or have a divided power system.

I dont belive there are many engatives to it, and they can be dealt with when they crop up by "at staff discretion", so a trusted person can be promoted to the position, if none are elegble.
 
Haven't really read anything except the title but I can tell you off the bat, it's a 13+ server which means there's a chance that a kind and disciplined 13 year old could end up an O5 at some point. Nonetheless, we've had people under 18 make that level before as well, along with O5-1, ECC, GOC COL and CI COM so I doubt the content team nor NL would approve of this idea- especially since we also accept people under the age of 18 into SL.
 
Why only MTF? not Dpt. Leads or FCOM? seems like you're just trying to target specific people
I would be fine with it being applied to all of them, i just as i wrote think/thought the others go through more checks than the MTF's do.
and i was when writing this contemplating just having it apply to all CL4 posts

yo icl this isn't needed nor does it help, it would only hinder regiment for SA/FCOM to pick a COM and for the LTCOM the COM, forcing people to be rank locked to major for the reason being "you are too young" is a bit silly imo
Also it seems like you've made this since someone younger than you got LTCOM
