I have edited this post as, It was pointed out the failure was on the CoC, recruiters, and trainers not the recruits. This post is only to let those looking at a HH team, We do have a code and if you can not respect this, maybe you should look elsewhere.
The HeadHunters code of conduct:
As in any human endeavor, the higher the level of organization, the more highly defined the rules that govern the organization must be. Our code will attempt to define and preserve the unique character of our group and through it, our online Battletech / MechWarrior experience.
Code of Conduct
Article 1:
We consider HONOR above ALL; We will treat all members of the Battletech/MechWarrior community with courtesy and respect. We will address each officer as Sir and use the ~S~ to acknowledge others when entering or leaving a game, or beginning or ending a communication. “Smack Talk” or derogatory comments are never warranted.
Article 2:
We will play hard and we will play fair. We never “Back Stab” or shoot our own in combat or practice. We will not “leg” in our practice servers. We will give every opponent our best effort and we will ensure that our conduct in games is beyond reproach. We will engage in no activity, which is not in the spirit of “fair play” or of the mission.
Article 3:
We will recognize the efforts of the many talented people in the Battletech/MechWarrior community who have contributed so much, so freely by conducting ourselves in the same spirit of Battletech/MechWarrior sharing. We as members will promote our community to the best of our abilities.
Article 4:
We are aware of the fact that many players may be playing over speakers and that wives and children may be present. We are also aware that our pilots come from many time zones around the world and while it may be 2:00 a.m. where you are, it may be 2:00 p.m. where your opponent is and we will ensure our language and behavior on communication programs reflect this.
Article 5:
We recognize the fact that our virtual enjoinment is a unique place, free from the political, religious and economic strife of the real world. We realize that to preserve this “cultural level playing field” we will forego any inflammatory or heated discussions of the political or religious nature.
Article 6:
We realize one of the benefits of belonging to the Head Hunters is a group who has agreed to play by the same rules, and conduct themselves by the same Code. We will identify ourselves as belonging to such a group by displaying the “HH” in our call sign at all times while online and we will be held accountable for our actions while displaying the HH call sign.
Article 7:
We believe the greatest asset of this group is the member. Our Battletech/MechWarrior world is the product of the selfless contributions of countless talented people from around the globe. This group was formed in that spirit of sharing, for the enriched experience and enjoyment of us all. We are a group that has made a commitment to our hobby, and its members. We will all bring something different to contribute to this group, some members may be very talented at one aspect or another of piloting or computers, and others may be highly skilled painters or developers. No matter what our current skill levels are, or how proficient we are at any aspect of the game, we have a number of things in common. We all came online to have combat with other people, we all are playing Battletech/MechWarrior, we all found the time to do this and we all did, or will, require assistance to get the absolute most out of our efforts. We recognize that the real world’s issues must be put before any game or hobby and that there will be no mandatory attendance required of any HH member. A member will when able post his availability so we may arrange League battles. HH members agree to contribute what time we have to fighting online to our HH teammates and forego membership in any other online Battletech/MechWarrior League Team. A member will be considered MIA after 14 days of no contact. They will be placed as reserve after 30 days of inactivity.
Article 8:
Discipline: Any commander may demote or remove a member from his command. (The removed member will be placed in an appropriate lance, company, battalion or, regiment.) The commander is expected to show just cause. The member may choose to take this action to General Review. (Court Martial) Court Martial is trial by the five (5) highest rank members available. The member may challenge one (1) member on the trial board. One (1) continuance is allowed per side. The issuing commander will be prosecutor. The member may speak for himself or choose council. All infractions of Suspension or Removal of a member must be approved up the CoC to the RXO or RCTXO. If the RXO or RCTXO abstains or disapproves, the decision will fall to the RCO or RCTCO. A member may appeal to a Command General Review. This is the five (5) Highest Commanding Officers. All offences less than these issues are to be considered petty offences. Verbal then written warnings are to be issued. After three (3) written warnings within 3 months a General Review is required.

. In fact, I've been thinking, from the time I read this message earlier, about posting Armageddon Unlimited's Code of Conduct, General Code of Military Justice, and Standard Operating Procedures. However, I think he's stated these well-enough, as they're similar in origin and word, for the most part, and he HAS posted them in the House Davion forum, so though I don't agree with the idea of posting them in the open, I do believe it should be used as a training tool for others.
