COMM ID:Vice Admiral Rohj Teerin TARGET ID:Alisa Rene, John Rivers SUBJECT:Congratulations ENCRYPTION:Low PRIORITY:Medium
Afternoon,
ALISA RENE, you are ACCEPTED into the Liberty Navy. Please send us your Sky-P3 communication details as soon as possible. Also, though your results are sufficient, it is recommended that you stick with some senior pilots for a while, and should you have a question or require assistance, just ask.
JOHN RIVERS, your application has also been ACCEPTED. Life in the Navy is more of a challange than air traffic control, but with your good record and time spent training, you'll do just fine here.
Both of you are Cadets, and must log eight (8) hours of flight time in an Executioner Heavy Fighter. Upon completion, you'll be granted the rank of Ensign and as a result allowed to maintain other strikecraft.
Sincerely,
Vice Admiral Teerin,
Liberty Navy First Fleet.

"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
