CHAPTER 3. ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNTS
Subsection 1. Alternate Account Limits
You are allowed to have alternative accounts, declared to OJSIG Command. However, only one account may be active per individual at any given time. All alternative accounts, including OJFD grading accounts, must be reported must be registered with OJSIG via the Alternate Account Declaration Form. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in a one-rank demotion per offense.
Subsection 2. Alternate Accounts within USDF
Personnel can work at USDF on their approved alternate accounts for emergency purposes (e.g., muted, banned, compromised) or if required to by officers (e.g., inappropriate username). JSD+ and OCS Administration personnel may use authorized alternate accounts to test personnel. Furthermore, ranks can only be given to alternate accounts that have been approved by the USD ED and/or DOT&E for educational purposes only, or the USD I&S, CDR SOCOM, and/or JSIG for all other situations. All other alternate accounts may not be promoted under any circumstances.
The USD ED and/or DOT&E authorizes the use of alternate accounts for educational purposes only. These accounts will be cleared with the USD I&S, CDR SOCOM, and/or JSIG who authorizes and monitors the use of alternate accounts used by USDF personnel. Personnel may request for an account change to use their alternate account by following Procedure 11: Alternate Accounts, Compromised Accounts & Name Changes. Once approved, the alternate account will be added next to the individual’s original Habbo account name on the PTS. If the change is permanent, the alternate account name will replace the individual's original Habbo account name on the PTS.
Subsection 3. Account Name Changes
To initiate a name change, you must fill out the Name Change Request Form. Choose the “Name Change Request” option and make sure you inform your Office Director and Branch Chief of your request. Once the form is submitted, your request will be reviewed by the JSIG. The name change request will be processed and you will be notified of the outcome. If the request is approved, you will receive instructions on how to complete the process. DO NOT change your name before receiving approval.
Subsection 4. Compromised Accounts
Becoming compromised is defined as the loss of sole, un-tampered access to an account, which may or may not result in the disclosure of account details or sensitive information to unauthorized individuals. The Senior Command of the United States Defense Force (USDF) places personnel security as one of its utmost priorities. As a subset of personal security, USDF-related account security extends, but is not limited to, the below platforms:
• Habbo account(s)
• USDF forum account
• USDF Discord account
In the case of a compromised account, personnel must immediately report the incident to the proper authority via the Compromised Account Form. Personnel with compromised accounts may be removed from USDF platform(s) until the JSIG, CDR SOCOM, USD I&S or the NSA has appropriately reviewed and actioned their form. The first instance of an individual's account becoming compromised will result in, at minimum, a promotion lock. Any instance(s) of an individual's account becoming compromised thereafter will result in a dishonorable discharge.
Any personnel found responsible for deliberately compromising an account or failing to report a compromised account within 48 hours of discovery will be subject to investigation and possible punishment under Article 9 of the UCMJ.
Subsection 5. Use of Alternate Accounts in Warfare
Random people may choose to make alternate accounts to pose as high-ranking members of the USDF. Our restrictions on alternate accounts prevents impostors from entering USDF's premises. Any Habbo who argues that they are someone holding a high rank or position in the USDF is to be deemed invalid and not let in.
Subsection 6. Changing Accounts
The changing of accounts within the USDF for reasons other than emergencies is not recommended and may be denied. However, if for some reason a USDF personnel needs to change their Habbo name, they must follow the correct procedure outlined in Subsection 2 to obtain approval from the USD I&S, CDR SOCOM, and/or JSIG. No one else may approve name changes.

CHAPTER 5. VERY IMPORTANT PERSON (VIP) MEMBERSHIP
Subsection 1. VIP Membership

- [USDF] HQ Access Pass (80c) - Includes entry into HQ and the VIP area.
- [USDF] Platinum VIP (150c) - Includes entry into HQ, VIP area, USDF Forums and certain USDF events.
- [USDF] Diamond VIP (200c) - Includes entry into HQ, VIP area, USDF Forums, certain USDF events and access to our Discord server.

- May only purchase a maximum of 10 days per month.

USDF personnel are not permitted to hold VIP, Platinum VIP or Diamond VIP badge membership; however, members of the JSD+, personnel ranked O7+ or members of SOCOM are permitted to have the VIP pass. Personnel may donate over 500c or above to the USDF and receive Donor Badge membership, which will grant free Diamond VIP after an honorable discharge - if they receive a dishonorable discharge, they receive the HQ Access Pass.
NOTE: Commissioned Officers ranked O7+ are only eligible for HQ Access Pass if they don't hold a JSD+ role.
Personnel that have resigned who purchase VIP may enter immediately upon acceptance on the badge. On the other hand, current personnel who have Donor Badge membership must be honorably discharged first before they are allowed into VIP. Civilians may choose to purchase Platinum VIP, Diamond VIP or the Donor Badge and expect to receive identical benefits. Officers O1+ who contact the SecDef, DepSecDef or their Branch Chief and arrange a 'Retirement Package' may receive free Diamond VIP.
Members of allied organizations (HR+/5iC+/E7+/OR-4+), will receive a 10c discount on any Standard/Platinum/Diamond VIP purchase.
Dishonorably discharged USDF personnel may be permitted to purchase the HQ Access Pass only and not the Platinum/Diamond VIP - meaning forum and discord access is prohibited. In addition, dishonorably discharged personnel must wait 30 days since the discharge, before they can purchase the HQ Access Pass. Individuals with the Executive Discharge and Never Rehire status are ineligible to purchase VIP of any form offered by the USDF.
If you had HQ Access pass before enlisting, and have been discharged following the General Discharge procedure, you may ask for your HQ Access Pass to be re-instated.
Subsection 2. VIP Terms and Conditions
