Bretonian Armed Forces Recruitment Centre (iRP)

[Grin]

The Recruiting Officer scanned the transmission on his notepad, a wry smile on his face.

"Reply to Lucas Mozart," he dictated

"Lad, nobody joins the BAF and jumps straight into a Gunboat! We are not capital-ship-obsessed bully-boys! Our pilots need to demonstrate skill and ability in fighter and bomber actions and training before getting the necessary promotion to fly the heavy stuff. Now, if you are as experienced as you claim, your abilities will be recognised and you will get that promotion. However, do not assume anything."

"If you are still interested in joining up, with that in mind, then say so. I will process your application happily."

"Thanks for being so honest about your pirate background. We are not too worried about that. Indeed, certain parts of our fighting forces may be interested in your application because of it. I will say no more now, but if you want to proceed with your application I will notify those concerned."

He pressed the SEND button.

"Gunboat jockeys!" he grumbled as the message flew into the ether
