Training at the Jaegerhaus

The Jaeger Code

Jaegers follow a code that enables them the greatest chances of success and survival. They are short so that they can be easy to remember, but some would say that their briefness allows for flexibility in their interpretation.

1. Never go alone
2. We are not the law
3. Live to fight another day
4. Remember your enemy

The Jaegerhaus

The first Jaegerhaus was founded in 1580 in Dolchzahnfurt, and is considered the main base of operations for all Jaegers. There are six other Jaegerhauses throughout the continent, with one in each of the nations except for Gaulois. Jaegers are the creation of Mattias Straussburg, the first Jaeger, and Baron Scholz von Wieseburg. 

Recruits must be at least 18 years of age and are subject to a minimum of 3 years of formal training at a Jaegerhaus which is made up of the first year as Basic Training, bringing up all Recruits to a minimum standard. The following 2 years are dedicated to the three modules a Recruit selects, which includes optional opportunities for exchange programmes with other Jaegerhauses. 

After, following examination, students may require further tutelage in the classroom. However, most will be able to move on to the field mission stage which puts them onto the path to graduating as a fully fledged Jaeger. 

For example:

A Soldier who has served their country for 5 years decides to become a Jaeger. They excel at the physical element of Basic Training, but struggle with studying as it is an entirely new concept to them, they are also new to reading and writing. It takes them 5 years total before they are able to attend field missions due to that struggle. 

A Merchant of 20 years decides to become a Jaeger. They manage their way through Basic just fine, and are competent at studying. They are able to attend field missions after 3 years. 

An Academic who has finished their degree at a University becomes a Jaeger. They struggle terribly during Basic, and took another 6 months just to complete it. However they aced their studies. It took them 3.5 years to move onto field missions.
