Greetings, Navy.
My name is Todd and I was born on planet Los Angeles 25 years ago. I was raised in a normal non military family - my mother was working as a secretary in a local office of the Universal Shipping trade company. My father, on the other hand never liked being behind a desk - he was employed by Interspace and was gone almost 6 months every year. Luckily they both survived all this time and are now peacefully retired on our home planet. I began to walk in my father's footsteps - at the age of 18, I signed a contract with Universal and began shipping cargo all around Liberty. Soon, though, I realized that this was not my calling - as times were changing, my view of the sorrounding world was altering. When I reached the age of 20, I ended my contract with Universal and began to work as an independent escort service. I always had the urge to help and protect the people around me so I did the best I could to preserve the traders who have paid me to escort them.Two years later I began to feel...restricted in a way. I wanted to do something more than just save a few people from getting robbed - I applied to the LPI and got accepted. It was different - now I had the opportunity to do a little more about my people's safety. I arrested countless smugglers and pirates harassing the peaceful citizens and I felt really good about my job. I was doing that for three years and did not complain... Shortly after I turned 25, I was sitting in Ft.Bush, having a drink when the news on TV struck me like a jackhammer - They announced the declaration of war with Rheinland. I stood there, still as a rock, for about 1 minute when I came to myself. A sudden feeling of nostalgy came through me. I remembered the peaceful times when I was a kid and everybody was happy and I thought about the upcoming war and all the misery, sadness and death it could bring to our nation. Then I realized my true calling - I felt a very strong urge to do something about it..to help in any way I can. It took just a Navy recruitment adv. to make me apply with no hesitation or regret whatsoever.
Reason for joining - I want to be able to preserve and defend Liberty's laws, national integrity and peace where others fail, ensure a safe enviorement for raising our children and look after our elders. Im ready to fight for this cause and die for it if it comes to that.
