Well, ladies and gentlemen, time for a promotion.
John Shepard, you're hereby promoted to the rank of Ensign.
Looks like you've proven yourself to be a useful addition to the Liberty Navy on a couple of occassions, so that's your reward.
Your security clearance has been updated, your pay's higher, and we're giving you access to the Avenger and Guardian types of Very Heavy Fighters.
Furthermore, once you've been issued a Very Heavy Fighter of your choice, you're being stationed aboard the Mississippi in Texas.
