Flag Orders 1101 and 1103 dated 28th July 1968, and Cancellation of Flag Order 12/8/68, concerning Qualifications for Sea Org, are all cancelled.

Herewith are the qualifications that must be established for a person to join the SO.

A. Class III Auditor or above or old HPA.

B. Grade IV Release or above.

C. 3 months or more experience in a Scientology Org.

D. Ethics clearance from local org.

E. Ethics clearance from WW.

F. No long term financial obligations or debts of large sums.

G. May not bring or enter SO under 12 years of age.

H. A person 12 years of age to 21 musthave parents’permission in writing.

I. May not enter the SO in an effort to dodge being drafted.

J. May not use the Sea Org to solve one’s marital difficulties or get away from spouse.

K. Must be willing to sign SO contract before coming.

L. Must settle any contract with another org.

Those who owe money inevitably have to leave the SO to pay their debts so become of no use.

Also currently in the SO we have as many quota of children that we can cope with to train and educate.

It has been observed that those who have trained as auditors have in doing so demonstrated actual intention to help others. Those who have not had auditor training have, in many cases, demonstrated the primary intention of helping themselves and so are of little value to the Sea Org and should be on the public lines as preclears instead.

Evidence of all the above qualifications must be presented by the applicant.

[NOTE: Qualifications A, B and C above tend to change from time to time; D to L tend to remain constant. Contact your nearest OT Liaison Office for current requirements.]
