(( This counts for out-of-character portions as well. ))
3. Any false statements or omissions made on this questionnaire may cause your name to be removed from the eligibility list or be cause for immediate termination if an appointment is made;
4. Multiple questions contain checkboxes. The checkboxes that apply to you have to be checked by adding a capital "X" (i.e "[X]"). If they don't apply to you, leave the check box unchecked (i.e "[-]");
5. If any changes happen to the information in your Preliminary Background Application Form (( including OOC information )), you are required to report it within five days to the Recruitment and Employment Division (via PM to a member of the Recruitment and Employment Division or a reply to your topic). Failure to do so may cause your name to be removed from the eligibility list or be cause for immediate termination if an appointment is made;
