Hello Mr. Lawrie -

Your application has been reviewed by the war council, and I must say we have our reservations. For starters, you went to Cambridge University to study History. You then go to work for the BMM, which... has little to do with History. If any. Instead of becoming a researcher, or working as a teacher yourself, you completely left that field. The money used for such a prestigious school went to waste. Flag number 1.

A second flag is the fact that you left the BMM after the Gallic invasion to be a... freelancer? Do you not have any national pride? When danger arises, do you just up and run away without standing and protecting those you care about? I don't believe for a second that you became a freelancer to "Help" the BAF in the Taus. Someone with a father whom was in the BPA surely would've enlisted within his homeland's Navy. Not become a freelancer of all things, and then completely leave any connection to Bretonia. We were very confused about that one. What is to happen if fighting gets fierce within the ranks of the Colonial Republic? Are you going to leave and become a freelancer again, completely abandoning the CR? That's flag number 2.

The third and final flag is, with all the opportunities you had to enlist and have a military background, military training, even something as basic as flight school, you went to school for a History major, worked at a mining corporation, then became a freelancer. There is zero evidence you are even a capable pilot, or know the first thing about naval tactics. You would be a danger, not an asset to the Colonial Republic.

With the aforementioned flags, your application to join the Colonial Republic is hereby denied. I hope you come to your senses and rediscover any hint of pride for your nation, instead of a coward and in my eyes a traitor. Good day freelancer.

Fleet Admiral Steven Lewis,
Military Command,
Colonial Republic Military
