The young man, finely dressed and trimmed, strode into the recruiting office. Identity papers in hand, he approached the sergeant sitting idly at the desk.
“Where do I sign up?”
The sergeant mentally rolled his eyes before pushing his chair and himself backwards towards a cabinet. He shifted through various papers, looking for the enrolment documents. He found them, picked one up and rolled himself back.
“Here” He handed the young man the document. “Sign on the line”
The young man took the document and sat down, filling in the various question boxes. A several minutes he was done, he handed the document back to the sergeant.
The sergeant looked over the document.

Brief History;
I come from a noble and prestigious family, we have served Bretonia since the first hour that we set down in our glorious region of space. Countless members of my family has served, in some capacity, in the armed forces, from pilots to engineers, we have served our nation long.
I was born on and grew up on New London, attending the King Edwards school of primary & secondary education. I eventually attended the Royal Military Academy of New London, although I passed many of the classes with “flying colours”, I was particularly commended on my boarding action simulations and ship engineering.
As with most members of my family, I explored the galaxy for two years, to insure that I understood the political and military cultures of the other houses. I returned home three days ago, after a family reunion and several celebrations I arrived here.
Reason for joining the Armed Forces;
As I wrote in the previous question box, my family has a long and prestigious history in the armed forces, for instance, my great-great grandfather was one of the monarchs personal guards. Other members of my family also serveed in illustrious positions.
I would, of course, also want to defend our great house. Many doomsayers have claimed that the Kusarians will destroy us, but I know that Bretonia will stand firm and true in the face of adversity, I know that we will win, I know that we will send them back to their homes in wooden boxes and urns. I know that Bretonia has always and always shall be the star that shines through the storm.
Last, but not at all least, I feel it is my duty to serve Bretonia. Not just as repayment for the wonderous life that I have enjoyed. But also for the sacrifices that the monarch and armed forced endure, each and every day.
Other information (Optional);
I enjoyed many activities whilst at the academy, including fencing, hunting and plasma ball. I was a fine swordsman and a fine shooter if I may say so myself.
