Expressing interest in working for the MoMA

I love to study military technologies and strategies, and I hope that my research in both areas will serve useful.

I am specifically interested in WWII era technology, heavy weaponry (especially indirect artillary), heavily armored vehicles, and arial vehicles. I have at least basic knowledge of the construction of each.

As a strategist, I tend to be a good follower, not a leader. Though I still love a good strategy game. I study both overall strategy aplications (like basic manuvering, planning according to possible outcomes, etc.), as well as specific strategies used in real wars.

Knowing that I'm simply an enuthusiatic kid, I can't match the knowledge of a true professional, but I believe I am more than adequate in terms of the micronational average for militaristic knowledge.

Edit: Did I mention that I love explosions?

Well, firstly, you're hired, though I know not for what.

Secondly, I'm not a 'true professional' - yes, I've been through basic training, yes, I'm qualified on an M-16 and have a good grasp of American Military Structure... but I'm a military journalist, not a tactician.

Most of what I know on that subject comes from being a dork long before I joined the military.

So yeah, you're hired. Now I need to think of something for you to do :)

DoRC/JASO/ASTRO?

I meant proferssional like any person who deeply studied mechanics or engineering in those areas. But I'm not actually going to build anything.

I think I might advance JASO a bit. Get some satilites around Shireroth for communications and the like.

Otherwise, I can (roughly) design vehicles and weaponry for Shireroth. I'm not much of an artist, but I can usually make something decent if given anough time.

Alright, you're in charge of ISASO, the newest incarnation of JASO, ASTRO, and DoRC, unless Fax has any objections.

Why ISASO? Well, firstly, it's the "Imperial Shirithian Aero-Space Ops". Secondly, I forget what ASTRO and DoRC stand for, and we're not Jasonian enough for JASO. Thirdly, because I SAY SO. Hence, ISASO.

We Shirithians and our acronyms. Excellent.

KEEP IT JASO!

While we arn't Jasonian, it's tradition. Period. Just keep it to make me happy, dammit. :p

Trust me, I like JASO a lot more than I liked ASTRO or even DoRC. However, tradition (of which JASO is a part) mandates that a new MoMA needs a new acronym. Plus, I say so - hence, ISASO.

Why? Because ISASO. *smug*

*Pours gas on Bill and tosses a lighted match.* HERETIC! You DARE to question the MoMA? Now you may ask questions in the nethermost pits of Hades!

So - Baldwin - feel like succumbing to your greed and working for the Evil Empire?

Do you mean that I should sell myself to the MoMA for the sake of power and prestige?! NEVER! NEVER! Maybe...

Power and Prestige? I was thinking maybe rank and armaments. But sure :)

Rank and armament, power and prestige. They go hand in hand. But, since I have become impatient waiting for the MINT, may I ask what job you have in mind? I'll do anything as long as it's interesting and I get to carry around a rapier.

Well. I am still looking for a CoSSAF, and right now it's either you or Rarkasha (and I'd rather keep him in charge of ISASO, 'cause he's actually doing work on the subject, and Gahg knows I don't want to stifle THAT).

Please enlighten me--what responsibilities wiill this entail?

Field command of the military during wartime - you report only to the Kaiser, or the steward if there is no Kaiser, and I.

Oh, yes, I forgot that stood for "Chief of Staff of Shirithian Armed Forces." Yes, I heartily accept.

Neat.

Wow, so, I'm CoSSAF...that's nifty..I must go update my profile at once.
