I understand; I wanted to be upfront about all my past experience. (Plus I thought it might add to the character some.) I know that if I want to join and continue to be a part of the RHA then I must do what's best for all. Thank you for your consideration of my application.
It is always better to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning. For every one of us, living in this world means waiting for our end. Let whoever can, win glory before death. When a warrior is gone, that will be his best and only bulwark. Beowulf

Mr. Hartman,
While the Rheinland Mliitary may claim to be "full up" and in need of no more recruits, the truth of the matter is they can't afford to pay and equip any more. The successes of revolutionary groups like the RHA and the Ghosts have done significant damage to the corporate, and therefore government, wallet.
If you can pass our flight training program and our medical exams, the Red Hessians will be pleased to have you aboard. As stated by Leutnant Egon, we're not in the business of revenging past hurts brought by the RM, but we do find ourselves muzzle to muzzle with them often enough.
Make yourself familiar with the RHA command structure, our rules & regulations, and our overall political and mlitary goals. The Quartermaster's office on Vogtland will have your berthing assignment and initial kit ready when you arrive.
Welcome aboard, Rekrut Hartman.

Hail,
Artemis Stone here, requesting permission to join the RHA ranks. I was born and raised on planet Holstein. I never new my mother, I was told she died when I was born My father raised me till he died from an industrial accident, I was thirteen. After that the government enrolled me into a military aviation academy, this is were my hatred for the current government started. At the age of nineteen I ran away. I was living on the streets for a few months, doing odd jobs for a few scraps of food eventually I gave up. I just lay there, waiting for the end
The reason I am here to day is as I laid there in my misery, a man came and took me in. He was Edmond Adalwolf, he owned a local Machine shop, he was 65. He taught me everything I know about the old Rhienland, and from what he told me it was Glorious. He died when the government try to force him out of his home so that a new factory could be build, for Kruger Minerals. He was Murdered in cold blood. I vowed from that day on I would fight the Rhienland government any way I could and to restore the motherland to her former Glory. So I fled to join your ranks.
Sincerely,
Artemis Stone

Welcome, brother! I cannot formally accept you, but from your story, I have no doubt that Fleet Kapitan Moritz will do so. It is tragic that you have lost your family so; but you can at least take comfort in the fact that we in the RHA are as family. I look forward to flying alongside you, comrade.

Greetings Mr. Stone.
Leutnant Egon's words are the same words I would have chosen in your case; perhaps I've become too
easy and predictable. (thanks for intercepting and responding to his comm, Leutnant).
You're approved for a shot at piloting a Sabre in the Red Hessian Army. We'll try to make direct contact with
you as soon as possible. Look for any [RHA] or [Ghost] transponder if you have questions about getting set up.
Once you're cleared through security you can dock at Vogtland and see the quartermaster. He'll have your barracks
assignment and duty schedule ready.
Welcome aboard Rekrut, make sure you do all of your required reading!
(RHA personnel, please be on the lookout for Rekrut Stone and make contact asap.)
