EDIT OOC COMMENT: After re-reading my application, I've realized that there may be a misconception. I've listed my character as having 27 Liberty Rogue & 19 Outcast kills below as an escort pilot. These are 'NOT' player kills - they are, essentially, NPC kills I added to give the document a bit more life. Just wanted to make sure that was clear.

To Whom It May Concern,
Greetings, and thank you for taking the time to review this application. As the Liberty Navy no doubt recieves a great many applications from would-be recruits, I will endeavour to keep this application succinct.
I am a loyal citizen of Liberty, born on Los Angeles. I will not bore you with the explicit details of my life before I came of age, save for one particular event when I was thirteen, and beset upon by a group of thugs in an alleyway I had foolishly chosen as a shortcut. I was saved by an off-duty Liberty Navy Officer who heard the commotion and came to my aid. Call it my initial inspiration if you will, but I have, since then, considered service to Liberty as my primary aim for a career.
I applied for and was accepted with a scholarship for Civilian Pilot Training and Escort Pilot Training, to establish myself with a baseplate of skills that will, I hope, put me in good stead for a career as a Naval Officer. On graduation, I was signed on as a temporary escort pilot for Ageira Technologies, escorting transport convoys within Liberty Space. In this role, I have achieved a total of forty-six confirmed kills on Liberty Rogue and Outcast raiders, including several occasions where I was required to act, alongside the rest of the escort flight, as a rear guard or holding action while waiting for Liberty Police or Navy forces to assist. Though I've no illusions that these raiders will, as they say, hold a candle to the militaries of the Houses of Sirius, I am reasonably confident that I am capable of improving my skills to match them.
This brings an end to my, hopefully not too long-winded, 'life story' - in as much as a twenty year old can have a life story. I do wish, however, to finish with one last statement. I am not applying out of a desire for personal glory, nor to get my hands on 'shiny technology' to 'kill lots of baddies'. I am applying because I wish to give something back to the nation that has done so much for me. Should you decide to grant me acceptance into the Liberty Navy, I will endeavor to prove myself worthy of that honor.
