Esteemed ladies, gentlemen,
It is now after a very long time that I address you. Some time ago, and I will specify it is in fact 6 years that have passed, I parted ways with you for a certain reason. It is my privilege and obligation to inform you that I have spent this time to make our defence better and stronger. I will take my time explaining what exactly I mean.
In the beginning of my carrier I had fought with ground forces during the war, as you are aware from my biography. Later I did become a pilot of her Majesty the Queen, but I still felt the longing for infantry boots and good, solid ground and soil. So after debating with myself, I decided to withdraw from the air and try to be more earth-orientated for some period of time. As it turns out it was good for me, and in the end for Bretonia, as I see it.
Shortly after I left my Templar in the hangars I spent some time wandering trough Bretonia, until I stumbled upon an old friend of my fathers, Mr. Marcus J. Cofield the III. He is, at the moment, a professor at the Cambridge University and Royal Infantry Academy Sandhurst. We had a nice chat over some tea and biscuits. Also he made me a proposal to attend some of his classes, as a favour to an old friend, my father of course.
After attending some of his classes, I found myself back in the days when boots were my most important asset, along with my rifle, good eye and a steady hand. And then it occurred to me. We can fight as much as we want in space, with our snubs, capital ships and whatever, but until we find some good planet with plenty of plants, fresh air, nice and clear water, we will not find hundreds of systems enough for us. That said, I decided to join the Corps. I had luck to enlist with a good people, hardworking and just, which is the most important aspect for me. After joining and serving for several months, I got a call from my CO. He told me he is willing to send me to school and get me into infantry strategy course, due to my behavior and in honor of my rank in the Air Service in the Bretonia Armed Forces. I accepted.
In the course we had some really good classes, outstanding professors and outstanding but challenging drills and trials. It lasted for 4 years and in the end I managed to get my degree in Infantry and guerilla warfare, with masters degree in the Earths historical units and figures, more specifically Balkan Chetniks in the period of Balkan Wars and pre-World-War I period, with sub degree in World War I battles, command structures and units manoeuvrs.
Now I come to you as a tide, to help overcome the next hard periods of time, financially, spiritually and most importantly within the realm of military strategy.
If it is in fact one of the aspects you are interested in, please let me know in the communication channel.
And last but not least, I am requesting permission to be reinstated into active service, to be at your disposal with all my acquired knowledge as a former pilot and commander of the BAF and as a Captain of the Special Warfare Operations, SWO, 5th "Iron" Infantry Division.
With all due respect,
Robert Dzeferson
Commander
Bretonian Armed Forces, SWO 5th Iron Division
