The "Swear In" Ceremony is generally as follows: The Platoon Priest/Rabbi will grasp The ESL Golden Box Cutter and he will cut your hand to let your blood stain The Hunter Loyalty Cross.

We will burn the cross, and as you watch the smoke rise to the sky, you will state the following words, loud and proud: "The Hunters are above god, family and I, I officially swear my loyalty to the Hunters, betrayal would lead to eternal damnation, and, like these flames in front of me, in hell... I will DIE."

7. After this process, you will officially be a hunter!
