Good Afternoon Candidates,

Thank you for your interest in serving the Republic.

Mr Logan; I regret to inform you that your application has been DEINED, owing to the limited information in your biography, and a failure to submit parts one and two of the recruitment package. You are welcome to reapply at a later date, once these issues have been rectified.

Mr Burnet; your application for assignment to the First Fleet has been ACCEPTED. I'm sure the Navy will be able to find employment for a man of your skills. You'll be assigned to Richmond for initial training, with advanced piloting to be covered off with 108 Training Flight in Ontario. A full brief with equipment and timings will be dispatched via private communications. I wish you the best of luck in your career.

Regards,

Good Afternoon Ms Coburn,

Thank you for your interest in serving the Republic.

I'm pleased to inform you that your application for assignment to the First Fleet has been ACCEPTED. You'll be assigned to West Point for initial training. Considering your previous employment, I expect you'll be able to find your own way there; however, if that's not the case please advise your case manager and transport will be organised for you. While your experience with fighter-craft is noted you will still be required to attend training with 108 Training Flight in Ontario at the conclusion of IOC at West Point.

A full brief with equipment and timings will be dispatched via private communications. I wish you the best of luck in your career.

Regards,

*A video recording flickers on. The audio is full of interference, and the pilot is shouting into his microphone. He is clearly occupied with fighting an enemy, and the camera is shaking as the Guardian is thrown into one sharp turn after the other.*

Ahoy there, Sirs and Ma'ams!

My name is Dan Marshall, and I'm a pilot at the Secondary Fleet Core. The conflict on the southern borders is cooling down, and we're no longer experiencing Rheinland raids in Texas on a regular basis. There's not much for me to shoot down here, so I figured I should make contact with Primary Fleet to see if you need an extra Guardian to take care of the problem with the Gauls?!

I guess I should tell you a thing or two about myself. I was born on Planet Los Angeles 33 years ago, and I had a comfortable upbringing at the shores of the Half Moon Bay. Both my parents are marine biologists, and my older sister followed in their footsteps. When I turned 18 I decided to join the Liberty Navy while figuring out what to do for the rest of my life, and I sort of just stuck around...

I am very comfortable gunning down foreigners threatening our freedom, peace, and way of life. In fact there's nothing I enjoy more! I keep a calm head when under stress, and I follow orders well. I'm a true patriot, and my trigger finger is itching to kill some of them Gauls. I'm sure we can work out the rest along the way.

I hope that's all y'all need to know?

This is Dan Marshall, signing off!

Good Afternoon Mr Marshall,

Thank you for your interest in serving the Republic.

I wish that I could tell you that I understand the difficulties involved in submitting an application while engaged in a dogfight. Funnily enough, it is not a situation I have first hand experience with, nor is it one I have any desire to attempt. Nonetheless, your enthusiasm for combat has been noted. However, without Parts I and II I am unable to forward your application to the transfer board for evaluation.

Assuming you survived the firefight during which you recorded your initial application, please submit that documentation to recruitment and retention at your earliest convenience. Filling the paperwork out under fire, while impressive, is not required at this point in the process. Until such a time as we receive a complete application Mr Marshall, your transfer will remain PENDING.

Regards,

Sir,

With all due respect, when I made the transmission from the seat of my Guardian, I wasn't counting on having to fill out long, pointless questionnaires. Reading makes my head hurt. I'm already carrying out my duties to perfection within the Secondary Fleet Core, I didn't join the Navy yesterday, and I definitely didn't join to push pencils! I know you had other pilots over from SFC|, and let me tell you: We know our stuff! Yesterday I alone downed two GRN| pilots in Magellan and Primary Fleet was nowhere to be seen, so ask yourselves if you need a ready and able fighter pilot in the fleet, or if you want yet another diplomat sitting in comfortable safety far away from the front lines, directing traffic around Manhattan?

These are troubled times, and I am asking you to have faith in your recruits - especially when they're already experienced Navy pilots. There's a war out there, and we're losing it if you haven't noticed!?

"Dirty Dan" signing off!
