Naval War College
FADM (ret.) Nathaniel Davies
Esteemed members of the Recruitment & Reenlistment Board:
I am glad to speak with you once again. My tenure at the Naval War College has been most fortuitous, and I believe I have trained a great many officer candidates into fine Naval officers for our fleets. However, ever since my departure, I have not felt right. Our defeat at Leeds those years ago was a strike against my character and my ability to lead, and I took my time at the College as an attempt both to hone my strategic wit, and moreover attempt to give back to a Navy that I took so much from in my foolhardy attempt at an early victory against a clearly superior foe.
Now, however, I believe I cannot sit idly by. Every day the reports from New London look worse and worse, and every day I am forced to consult curriculum and engage students, where deep down I know that my place is not at the College. Thus, I humbly submit to you my request for re-integration within the First Fleet. I hardly expect any position of note; simply a command of some form if the Navy would spare it, as I believe I am far beyond my fighter pilot years. I have attached my re-enlistment form below.
Liberty Navy - NORR-822-OCSA Name:Nathaniel Davies Date of Birth:07/25/762 Place of Birth:Planet Denver, Colorado, Liberty Sex:Male Height (cm):180.3 cm Weight (kg):83.5 kg Relatives:Lilian Davies (wife), Eric Davies (son, deceased) Previous Work Experience:As below. Previous Military Service:Former Fleet Admiral of the Liberty Navy, CO 1 FLT. Chief Instructor of the Manhattan Naval War College for 8 yrs.
Biographical Segment:I was born into a Navy family. My mother was the Commodore of the Third Fleet for five years and my father served as XO and CO of the Mount Hickory for the better part of two decades. Thus, I obviously saw this naval career not as a choice to serve my country but as a duty to those who had served before me, and all those who had kept my home safe. I was admitted as a Student Naval Pilot as soon as the Navy would take me in 780 AS, and soon thereafter was admitted to Fleet Replacement Squadron VFA-109 "Sharpshooters". My entire career as a Naval Pilot is well-documented as established naval record, as is my following service as an officer, so I will not embellish it in detail here; needless to say, however, I do not believe my calling then or now was found in the seat of a cockpit.
After submitting my request for a career change, I was admitted to Naval OCS at West Point in 787 AS. My summary graduation and assignment as midshipman to the good ship Endurance was one of my key learning experiences as a newly minted naval officer entering my twenty-fifth year. My career was otherwise uneventful until 800 AS, where, of course, our Navy underwent a great sundering that I needn't go into much detail here; needless to say, my duties as XO of the Ironbound Defiant-class were significant on that day, and that was perhaps another experience I won't soon forget, attempting to keep morale high as the Houses tore themselves apart. Just after the beginning of the Rheinland War, I was promoted to Vice Admiral of the Seventh Fleet, and led combat operations there in the Texas sector for some time until I was requested by then-Fleet Admiral Teerin to join the Admiralty of the First Fleet in 821 AS. Of course, later that year I came to take Fleet Admiral Teerin's position, and served the position dutifully for one year, save the unredeemable stain of Royal Flush that I hope to atone for with my continued service.
