Lots of good advice so far on this thread.  Another point I'd recommend is when you're an FTL, switch your alt channel to 31 (just to listen).  It's advantageous both for learning the role of SL and also being in an informed position if the SL goes down (It's worth remember that anyone who signs up for FTL will be expected to be SL, if the SL is KIA).  However, there are a couple of caveats: don't speak on channel 31 unless the SL does go down, and also don't use the info to second guess the SL.

Guess here comes the individual way of gameplay in again. I would disregard to be on 31 in most situations as FTL. I would only suggest to quietly listen to it in very peaceful situations for the sake of learning a bit. Otherwise I would always suggest you let your SL do his job and as a FTL (or 2IC) you focus on our own job.

Mefirst, that was exactly my point.  Let the SL do his job, however the extra info will improve your situational awareness.  The other benefit, is it gives you practice in listening to 2 channels, and filtering when necessary.  This can be one of the challenging aspects of being in the SL slot.

Not had a go being an SL yet (have had a go as FTL), so reading this thread has been a great help. Might give it a go on the public server this week.... so watch yourselves guys haha

Roll up Roll up...

Lots of good leaders out there amongst the recent Marines (you know if I'm talking about YOU !) 

DO give it a go, as some of you have lots of RL Mil and or RL leadership experience and we'd love to see some new names taking slots :-)
