Comm ID: Luke Walker Source: BRF|HMS-Westminster, Salisbury To: Fleet admiral Firmus Piett Subject: Application for the Armed Forces
Good afternoon, sir. My name Luke Walker and I'd like to apply for the Bretonian Armed Forces. I'm 23 years old and born on planet Cambridge. Living on Cambridge was nice, but boring. When I was little, uncle Aidan Walker, captain of the BRF|HMS-Westminster, always told me one of his exciting stories. I asked if I could join him in one of his missions. His answer to that was: "You can join me when you've finished high school". I was really motivated and did well in school, I graduated at the age of 16.
Finally I could join uncle Aidan on one of his missions. I was for a month onboard his ship patrolling at the Leeds border. He told me everything about the ship and explained how things work. Nothing really happened so far which gave us the chance to test each role, looking for what suited me the best. I really liked the role of a Lieutenant, which requires a lot of thinking.
From the operating room I had a nice view over the field. From what I've learned in the past days Aidan started to question me. He asked what fighter A in the field should do. "He has to shoot the Naval ship chasing fighter C, so the Kusarian has to dodge incoming fire. Fighter C can safely turn without being shot." I was confident about my answers. Aidan told me to explain the plan to Fighter A. The fight ended up in a win without anyone being hurt.
The mission was over, we flew back to Salisbury, stationed the ship and went home to planet Cambridge. Finally I could tell my parents an exciting story. After I told my parents about my one month trip Aidan offered me the job of Second-Lieutenant at his ship. This was my opportunity to live my life as I wanted it to live. After a discussion with my parents they agreed with me.
In the years between then and now I've learned many things. Being a Second-Lieutenant was like college, I was studying a lot but strange enough earning money as well. My tutor John (At that time Lieutenant at the Westminster) learned me every single bit of the job. We were a good team. Once John retired I got promoted to his rank. I've been Lieutenant over 4 years now and I do my job well, as Aidan tells me. "You've a good view over the fight and know what tactic you should use in every situation."
But why leave the BRF|HMS-Westminster? I want to develop. In the future I'd like to fly one of the capital by my self. Keep on working to get myself to the top, that's why I'm applying for your fleet.
