Commanding Officer's Application

If you haven't already, the first step is to Read the CO Requirements.  There is a lot of things that go into commanding a vessel, and this list will help you decide if you are up to the task.  Once you have done that, cut and paste the questions below into your email program.  After completing the application, email it to Fleet Admiral Michael Montgomery.  I will respond to your application as quickly as I can, usually within 48 hours. I believe it is only fair to warn each of you that we are not in the business of giving away ships.  Each applicant must prove, through their application and any follow up communications from the Fleet Admiral, that they will be able to build a great crew and then manage it.  If you feel you have what it takes, we welcome your application.

13.  Family:  Include parents and any siblings.  Their professions are a nice touch as well. 
14.  Full Character Bio. (characters childhood, academy/school years, other assignments, etc.) (Little tip here:  your rank and chance of getting the position of your choice will depend primarily on the quality of your bio, so take your time.)

17.  Additional contact information (ICQ, AOL IM, Yahoo IM, etc)

Thank you for your interest in becoming a commanding officer in the New Frontier. While the beginning stages are time consuming, I believe that you will find it to be well worth the time and effort.  You will hear back from me as soon as possible.
