' Wrote:A young man steps through the recruitment door, and moves towards an officer with the grace only true star pilots possess. "Do wish wish to join the BAF, sir?" the officer asks in his direct, thick, British accent. "Maybe, I don't know." responds the man "I want to be clear on this before I sign my best years away to Her Majesty's Navy." "What do you mean, sir?" "I mean what are policies and rules about being a pilot in this navy?" he said slowly "Who gets command of gunboats and capitol ships, because I've studied naval command at West point? Will I be patrolling Bretonia and stopping smugglers, or blasting Kusars in a Templar?" The officer glanced around the room, planning his next move. Finally, he said "I'll put you through to one of my superiors, he'll help you." Somewhat content with the answer, the man sat down and waited.
//OOC: Just to be clear on this; I don't think I should be a capitol ship commander, I'd like to be a Templar pilot. (Maybe command a gunboat, maybe.) What I really need to know is what being a BAF pilots involves, or will there be some training to sort it out?
The man sits in chair reading the fine print of the BAF recruitment form. "Every thing's acceptable, here's my application." The recruitment officer took the form. "Thank you Mr. Ummm?" "Owen, my name's Blake Owen." With that he left the building and headed to his apartment.
The recruitment officer peaked at the form.
Name: Blake Owen
Age: 23
Eye color: Green
Hair Color: Black
Height: 6'2"
Place of Birth: St. John's hospital, Leeds
Physical Information: All medical records show Blake Owen as fit to pilot a starship. He is in excellent health.
Combat Experience: Freelancing against Kusari Naval Forces, as well as Liberty and Bretonian criminals. Five complete missions, seven confirmable casualties inflicted.
Educational Information: Graduated from Liberty's public schools, then studied fighter combat and command at West Point, as well as capitol ship command. Never received his diploma. (Dropped out halfway through the capitol ship course, citing a wish to return to Bretonia.)
