To: The Fighter Corps
Priority: HIGH
[Message Begins]
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Fighter Corps,
As you should no doubt be aware I have recently returned from a classified operation which prevented me from fulfilling my duties as Commandante. As such, Comrade Novikov temporarily held the position until my return.
I have noticed for too long ranks being used as petty badges to boost ones ego, rather than a true indication of capability. As such, I refer you all to the Tactical Centre where you will find that things have changed. More specifically, you will find that ranks now properly reflect your role within the Fighter Corps. Some of you may notice that you have gone down in "rank". This is not a punishment, it is merely the result of the restructuring process.
On another note, it has come to my attention that applications to join the Fighter Corps are at an all time low. I do not want our Fighter Corps to become stagnant. We need new blood, and I expect each and everyone of you to go out into the field and educate the public about the Coalition. Encourage them to join us.
