Date of birth: July 17th 789

Health: Good
Height: 5'7"
Vision: Perfect
Allergies and ailments: Certain kinds of pollen
Combat experience: Defending convoys & the research I did for making the simulators as realistic they are nowadays.
Notable Life Achievements: Work for NavTech, the NT 5600 FightSim, which is still in use in most of your training facilities. (Why didn't you upgrade to the NT 6450? The realism is great and really worth the price)
Please describe, in 100 words or fewer, your suitability for service in the Bretonian Armed Forces:
To be in serious acting in space. I've seen about everything that happens on the ground and have done enough pre-set fights in space to create the combat simulators, you've bought from NavTech. I want to make myself really useful and the way I do my work now does not give me any kind of satisfaction any more.
Aptitude Test:
Knowlege
1. Who is the current Fleet Admiral of the Bretonian Armed Forces?
Sir Stanley Nelson
2. Who is the current Prime Minister of Bretonia?
George Mountbatten
Intelligence
3. Identify Kusari's main weakness in the current state of the Tau War.
They're looking for much recruits and with the state of taking on new members it's easy for MI6 to infiltrate their forces.
4. Would you rather face an enemy bomber in a gunboat or heavy fighter? Explain your answer.
A heavy fighter. In programming, I was told that most clans allow heavy fighters to any new recruit and only give gunboats to much more experienced fighters. I programmed the gunboat on a higher level than most heavy fighters in the 5600, though nowadays, in the 6450, you have to be carefull of anything, because any ship can be lethal in the right hands.
Character
5. Is MOX bombing of enemy civilian Planets an acceptable strategy for hastening the end of a war?
No, it's not. Killing innocent people is never an option. Killing guilty people is inhumane if you ask me. People have to be given time to think about what they did wrong.
6. If there was a popular rebellion of a significant part of the Bretonian population against the Queen and Government, who would you support?
I support the side in which I have my faith. Nowadays I still have my faith in Queen and Government. This means if this rebellion would be now, I will support Queen and Government.
