Pre-Assignment

Below are the categories a member of the Phalanx can be placed in before their Assignment Day.

Rugrat
A rugrat is a young child. These children are unfit to be trained to become a fighter, guard, or a medic.They are to be raised with a healthy body and mind, so they may be eligible to become a fighter, guard, or a medic.

Apprentice
An apprentice, much like a warrior cat's apprentice, is one who is trained to become a fighter, a guard, or a medic. They may begin whenever they feel ready, but they must be at least seven. They are trained by the person of their future position; medic, guard, or fighter. An apprentice is usually allowed to choose what position they want to be.

Pre-Assignment
This position is short, it goes on for a day before their Assignment Day. During this time, they are to practice a proper stance for their Assignment, rest from their vigorous training, and feast upon a leg of deer during the late evening. This is considered a ritual that will give them good luck as an official member of the Phalanx.
