Mr Carter, it says in our records that your father fought and died like a hero, so the Admiralty has approved your application under the impression that you will do the former the same, and if necessary, the latter too. Do mind, however, that your service will require high discipline and that your motive of personal vendetta will have to be quelled, lest you may find yourself committing a war crime.
Be aboard the HMS Somerset in New London orbit by tomorrow for a briefing. And please do not call the fleet admiral "Zhukov", because that is not his name, it has never been and nobody understands why the newest recruits have been using it. The fleet admiral is John Redmond.
Welcome, ensign.
BAF Recruitment Office
James Morris
Mr Morris, we could find no former or enlisted serviceman under your name in our database. It is possible that this specific section was destroyed when the Gallic bombardment of New London incapacitated one of our main servers, but the fact is, we do not have any record of anyone named James or Jim Morris in the last 12 years. Were you a reservist? Unless you provide verifiable files about your former service, it will not be possible to reinstate you under your supposed previous rank, but you will start as an ensign. Additionally, it could be useful to know that we are no longer at war with Gallia.
If you still wish to enlist, be aboard the HMS Somerset in New London orbit by tomorrow for a briefing.
