hey, my name is Cael, i really want to join the TnC, i have already applyed for a were-beastie so please let me join

Hi Cael, i'd love to just let you join, but you need to be put in this regiment from the main army.
Although I'm sure after you asked so nicely in there Spook'll put you in here.
I'll put you up as a temporary recruit shall I until Spook's pulled his finger out.

Cael, I'm gonna promote you to a Sergeant, here and now.

Congratulations.

thanks, this is cool

Sorry about the mistake with the moons.
I'd mispelled

Cael, I've promoted you to Sargent-Major

He's your CO, and is able to promote you.

Yep

Good idea.
