[color=#FFCC66]To get promotion post your request here with all needed proof
I have more than one month since my last promotion which was about 2 months ago.
I have made a lot more than thirteen reports in the communication channel, as you can tell commanders.
Command abilities can be seen to be proven in the field in my own reports and other's.
Today I have taken command temporary over the [KNF]Hokan Gunboat. I fought the commander, whom was flying [KNF]IKN-Yugure. And was deemed to pass the gunboat command and combat ability test.
Therefore I ask for the promotion from the Shosa rank to the Chusa rank.
