Guten tag kameraden. I am delighted to report that my first couple of days in the Red Hessian Army have been the best days of my life. Once my application was approved, I made the move from my old home on Planet Stuttgart to my new quarters on Vogtland Base. My father was sad to see me go, but I could tell he was proud of my choice and dedication to help save Rheinland from the tyranny of the facist corporations and their government puppets. I must applaud the escort who met me and took me to Dresden, he cunningly evaded the Rheinland Military, who were obviously very conscious and curious of people possibly destined for Hessian territory. He then showed me around, and the people of Vogtland made me feel right at home. I have already made several new friends and met up with many of my fellow soldiers.

There is some outstanding paperwork due on my part. Below is the confirmation of my standard issue vessel, including ID and IFF. Also, when I turned 18 I gained access to a trust fund my parents set up for me many years ago, most of which I decided to contribute to the [RHA]RHT-Weimar Armoury (I left the rest with my family).



Activities to date have consisted mostly of training in Omega-54, patrols to a lesser extent, participation in a retaliatory offensive operation in Gamma, and the recent confrontation with the RM, BAF, and associated hunters/corps in Omega-7. During both combat situations I did my best, but in the end, my lack of training was evident as my ship was destroyed. Thankfully my escape pod was tractored in by our more experienced pilots, and I was taken back to base to recover and subsequently proceed with more training. With the high standards of training provided, I am confident that in due course I will learn enough to strengthen the military representation of the will of the honest working people of Rheinland.

In addition to training and routine operations, I will be spending some time over the coming days familiarising myself with our allied bases and the routes between them, and studying the copy of the Operational Manual I found in my quarters. No doubt this information will prove vital going forward.

Danke

Koenig out
