Job Offer – Paramilitary Youth Resource Officer (PYRO)

We are seeking candidates for the job of a Paramilitary Youth Resource Officer
– or PYRO – to carry out the following roles and responsibilities:

1. Support Officers, Adult Ranks and NCOs in training R/Cdts in units and
take over training of R/Cdts in the absence of Officers, Adult Ranks and
NCOs.
2. Ensure the highest standards of paramilitary discipline, physical training,
drill, service knowledge, fieldcraft and map reading in units visited.
3. Ensure that members in each unit keep up with their obligation to
contribute membership dues and collect dues to deliver safely to Corps
Quartermaster after they have been certified by the Unit Storesman and
Officer/Staff Supervisor.
4. Communicate with businesses in the USA via email or/and flyers to
sensitize and interest them in unsecured business loans/working capital.
5. Follow up emails and flyers with calls to encourage business owners to
pursue loans.
6. Generate commission income funding for the RCC by closing loans with
business places.
7. Write recommendations and verify/certify documents for young people.
8. Assist young people with accessing counselling services by liaising with
guidance counsellors in schools, as well as with the parish YEO and
Commissioner of RCC.
Scope of Work:

PYROs – Paramilitary Youth Resource Officers – will be responsible for mainly

two things: 1) raising funds for the RCC and youth outreach projects by
advertising business working capital loans to overseas businesses and assisting
interested businesses in applying for these loans, so as to gain commission income
from the approved loans; and 2) training R/Cdts and ensuring they pay their dues,
so as to secure basic stipend for themselves and funding for the RCC. PYROs

RANGER CADETS LEAD THE WAY!

shall carry out their loan-related roles at home, using email and the TextNow app to
communicate with overseas companies, and shall carry out their R/Cdt training roles on
the grounds of schools/churches/youth clubs where R/Cdts meet to train.

Outside of these two main functions, PYROs will be able to write recommendations for
youth and certify/authenticate documents that Ministers of Religion/Pastors are allowed
to certify/authenticate, as they so desire. They will also be encouraged to help youth,
especially R/Cdts, get counselling if they are going through traumatic periods or need
counselling otherwise.

Place of Work:

Hybrid: At home and in the field (on cadet training site).

How It Works/How They Get Paid:

The Commissioner of the RCC has contracted with Mom & Pop Business Funding Ltd
(Mom & Pop or MPBF) and DAC (David Allen Capital) to become what is called an
Independent Sales Organization or ISO.

DAC is a business loan and business health insurance company that does not employ its
own agents, but allows agents to apply and sell health insurance and advertise for loans
on their behalf. The PYROs sign up through the Commsr of RCC as the ISO and get their
own websites and links to share for businesses to sign up easily. PYROs will get 70% –
80% of the amount borrowed as commissions, while the ISO/Commsr will get 20% of
their 70/80% commission. One-fifth or 20% of this 20% will then be donated to the RCC.

However, DAC requires the last 3 months bank statements and a credit score in order for
businesses to get a loan. Some businesses might not qualify for funding through DAC, so
it is recommended for PYROs to have businesses sign up for funding for MPBF (Mom &
Pop) if they are refused by DAC.

Mom & Pop/MPBF is a business loan company that does not have its own loan agents;
instead it trains organizations on how to find businesses that need loans, as well as how to
conduct loan sales and recruit their own agents to work. Unlike DAC, Mom & Pop does
not require a credit score. Instead, business owners must submit an application form and
the last 6 months bank statement. Mom & Pop/MPBF is more likely to grant a loan, but
their commission is way less than DAC’s. Whenever agents get a business to apply for a
loan and it is approved, the ISO gets 5% of the amount borrowed as commission from
MPBF and the ISO pays the agent a quarter (25%) of this 5% commission. The Commsr,
as the ISO, will therefore pay the agent – that is, the PYRO – 25% of the 5%

RANGER CADETS LEAD THE WAY!

commission, but will also take another 25% and divide it in half: one half will be
contributed to the RCC, and the other half will go into a pool to be accumulated to fund
youth development projects (1/3 of the amount) and to be invested to fund a basic
continuing stipend for the PYROs (2/3 of the amount).

It will take some time for the amount is built up by successful loans to pay a basic
stipend, however. So the PYROs will have to put in work to ensure that they have a little
money outside of successfully getting businesses to get loans. This is where the cadet
training comes in. PYROs will ensure that R/Cdts pay their dues ($50-$150) a week per
R/Cdt (determined by majority vote by the Unit). The unit storesman will record the
names and dues contributed by each member, and this will be signed by the Unit Officer
or Staff Supervisor on location. The PYRO will deliver the amount to the Corps
Quartermaster, who will, every month, subtract 6% of the amount as a contribution to the
RCC and give back the amount to the PYRO as monthly stipend. With each PYRO being
responsible for 2 or 3 units, a PYRO can put in the work to attract and retain R/Cdts in
their units to make a minimum of $10,000+ JMD and up to $45,120 - $72,000+ JMD
monthly as a basic stipend outside of commission salary and accumulated stipend from
investment from loans – just from R/Cdt training in the evenings.

Each PYRO will also receive training in certifying and authenticating documents, basic
counselling and life coaching, and pressure-point healing therapy (acupressure,
reflexology, Reiki). They will be able to charge whatever price they desire for these
services if they choose to offer them.

The Why/Rationale:

The Paramilitary Youth Resource Officer programme fulfils/relates to the following

objectives of the RCC:

# 4. – To provide or facilitate employment for unattached youth, especially for, but

not necessarily limited to, those who are members of the Ranger Cadet Combined
Corps and other uniformed voluntary youth groups.

# 8. – To develop and support Ranger Cadet Corps units in schools and Ranger Cadet
Community Corps units in churches and youth clubs.

#9. – To extend the geographical reach of the Ranger Cadet Combined Corps by
establishing new units in schools and communities.

PYROs will be expected to install and train new units and so expand the geographical
reach of the RCC while increasing their earning potential. This programme will ensure

RANGER CADETS LEAD THE WAY!

that R/Cdts who meet the requirements are not left jobless while trying to find their
footing in life.

Requirements:

In order to ensure the best quality of persons, we request R/Cdts who have passed at least
Star 2 tests and at least 4 CSEC subjects in Grades 1-3. 4 CSECs is the minimum
academic requirement currently to join the JCF and JCCF. However, in order to not
discriminate against those who have not attained the required academic qualifications, we
will accept those who have 2-3 CSEC/City & Guilds subjects, so long as they have at
least Star 3 qualification. Similarly, those who prioritized academics and did not gain
qualification beyond Star 1 level will be accepted once they have passed at least 5 CSEC
subjects.

In order to accommodate those who have 1 CSEC subject or none while not
compromising quality of PYRO agents, and to better fulfil aim/objective # 4 of the RCC,
R/Cdts who have less than 2 subjects must have at least Star 3 qualification or minimum
Star 2. Those in this category with Star 2 will redo Recruits Training for 3 months and
pass Recruits Test (Star 3 and above are exempt).

Applicants with 1 or no subjects must also sign and agree to pursue studies in any
preferred available degree course in ZYRETH Academy University, and pay the $90
USD application fee. They will then be allowed to attend training and to work as a PYRO
agent under probation for 3-4 months. During this probation period, they will receive
1/5th – that is, 20% – of the 5% commission from MPBF loans they have closed. By the
end of this period also, they must also have completed and paid for the certificates for at
least two ALISON courses at ZYRETH Academy University
(https://sites.google.com/view/ zyreth-academyu/our-courses). After passing two courses
and paying for the certificates within the 3-or 4-month probation period, they will start
earning the full 25% of the 5% commissions from Mom & Pop/MPBF.

Uniform:

PYROs will wear the RCC uniforms when on RCC duties. Otherwise, black camo/civvies

Training:

PYRO candidates will participate in 3 weeks of online training followed by one-two

weekend camps to prepare them adequately for their roles.
