A middle aged man walked into the recruitment office. He looked at the recruitement sign:
"Your Country needs you!!" It says "Hmm but will they take me, he thought".
He's slim built with the usual middle age spread around the middle. his hair is receding a little at the front with flecks of grey around the sides, like he'd been painting a ceiling!. He was wearing a worn old flying jacket, flannel pants with fur boots and gloves.
"I'd like to join the BAF"? he said.
The Corporal looked a little wary when she heard this
"How old are you sir"? she asked
"I'll be 43 in a couple of weeks" the man replied proudly
The Corporal seemed to think for a while
"I think you maybe a little too old to join the armed forces, the age limit is 30, but if you have combat experience... Why do want to join now?" she inquired
"Well. I've done time as a Freelancer in the Tau systems and thought I'd slow down and do some mining in Dublin, but these dam pirates and Mollies keep taking my load or worse blowing me out of the sky! I have had it with my trade lane getting disrupted and finding some young upstart demanding my hard earnings off me, its time for me to defend the people, especially the newbie's that are trying to start out, they soon get put off". the man said
The Corporal looked thoughtful and muttered to herself "I know what you mean..."
"What is your name"? she asked.
The man replied "James.Barnes, but my friends call me Jim."
The Corporal stood up, shook the mans hand saying "I can't promise anything, but you have the right attitude and we need people like you. I will file my report to my superiors. We will see what they have to say".

OOC: My display name is Jim.Solo but I would like to use my new character James.Barnes
Do I need to re-register with discoveygc.com? How does it work if I'm accepted to the BAF? Do I just change my chatacter in the game and pay the 2 million?
Cheers.
