Mr Gotoda
Thank you for expressing interest in the Civil Defence Initiative.
The Defence Act 821 established expanded recruitment and conscription powers for the purpose of staffing a civilian law enforcement militia. Section 327(a)(ii) relates to the induction of foreign citizens for a service period as a special constable. Later sections also provide a naturalisation pathway dependant on good conduct and the duration of service. In that respect, you are correct that the CDI provides a "food in the door".
Given your... unique... circumstances, we'd like to confirm a few additional details about your experience and employment history before proceeding. You mention two years of freelance flight experience working as an escort. From age 16? Can you provide details of the clients you were working with, or any references we can contact for verification? If these were jobs arranged with corporate entities, we are happy to reach out to the appropriate contracts office or mission commission.
Providing we can obtain an adequate references, we will progress you to an interview and pilot assessment with one of our squadron commanders on Planet Sprague. We will reimburse you for reasonable travel costs upon your arrival at Stanbrook Hall. Should you be unsuccessful in applying for Interstellar Enforcement, there are also roles for terrestrial militiamen on Planet Sprague.
