Navy Personnel;
It is my pleasure to announce some long-overdue promotions. The list is long and distinguished. From the top down, the promotions are as follows:
Bill Kreagan (former rank: [color=#FFFFFF]Captain [reserve])
With your return to full-time duty, it is only procedure that you come out of reserve status. However, I would like to add that I do feel reassured by your presence in the force once again, and I hope to fly with you more often. Your experience and combat efficiency are of the highest calibre; many ensigns could learn the more obscure nuances of dogfighting from you. So could I. Congratulations.
Alexander Casero (former rank: Commander)
Captain Casero. Need I say more? Well, yes actually, I do. You've been with the service for a long time, and have held the position of quartermaster with a firm dedication to the responsibility that job requires of you. Having turned down previous opportunities of promotion, we've found our captaincy somewhat lacking without your name there. The Grizzled veteran that you are, such a position is both fitting and deserved.
Virgil Redline (former rank: Lieutenant)
Now, I was opposed to this, in no small part due to the apalling state that your cruiser, which you must've happened along in some deep space debris field, was in when I decided to do a little tour. That dead dog smelt something horrible, and the armoury filled with booze instead of weapons was quite interesting. Your choice of booze also betrayed a complete lack of class. However, after a conversation with the Fleet Admiral, apparently this promotion is warranted. Report to my office tomorrow at 1300 hours, Lieutenant Commander.
Christopher Hood (former rank: Sub-Lieutenant)
Having seen your flying first hand, I can safely say that your skills are above average. Your capacity to take orders is not lacking either, and we have observed your dutiful fulfillment of any tasks given to you. This is, of course, a good thing. The result is you have earned an extra chevron. Good luck, Lieutenant.
Dean Winchester (former rank: Sub-Lieutenant)
You've been pushing for more authority for a long time. Now, that's not neccessarily a good thing, but you've backed up your desire for responsibility with a cool head, a laid back personality and some nice flying. More will be required of you the higher up you go, but as long as you continue to step up to the mark, you wont find yourself encountering major problems. Congratulations, Lieutenant.
Robert Bueller, Vic Thorn, Elise Thomas, Jason Reed (former ranks: Ensign)
All of you were in the race to recieve promotions, but due to some shifting in the higher orders, spaces opened up for all of you. Of course, this means you now have more responsibility, not least of which is resisting the urge to kick an ensign in the teeth because you can. This is only the start of your naval careers as far as rank is concerned, and the future looks bright for you all. Good luck, Sub-Lieutenants.
It is less of a privelidge, but more of a neccessity, that the following be announced:
Justin Stevens
George Robertson
Arthur Mark
Jimmy Cricket
Jack Murdock
George Walker
Shade Walker
You all need to report in within the time span of fourteen days, to Fleet Admiral Hale, myself or Vice Admiral Anderson. If you do not, you will be removed from active service or worse still, removed from this military formation.
