I think you seriously lack time played on the server. While hours are no longer a set requirement I think you should try to get your hours up over the next month and get to know the staff members to get a better feel for the server. Ron isn't eligible for a staff vouch as he is only a trial, and a new one at that.
As stated above, a bit more effort in your application showing you care enough about the server to take the time to make your application nice and full will go a long way. We don't want short and sweet, we want to have confidence in your ability to correctly moderate our servers and keep them enjoyable for everyone while not abusing the power given to you.
For now i'm neutral on your application, perhaps a trial is warranted but for now lets see after some time has passed if you're a) Still here, B) fixed my above concerns.
