⚜ATTENTION!⚜
The Gendarmerie Nationale announces the activation of 1st Savant Company of the Milice Nationale, with recruitment to commence immediately.
To enlist contact 1st Savant Company's commander, Caporal Yvette Sallembier in writing. Include in your writing, including your name, age, place of birth, a statement of your physical fitness, a statement of your relevant skills, and your reasons for joining.
This is the opportunity for patriotic citizens and guests from the Treaty of Four Towers to do their part for the betterment and protection of the city of Port a Lucine, and the country. The Serene Republique needs able bodied, motivated individuals willing to protect its citizens, and this is a way to meet that need without committing to a full career in the Gendarmerie Nationale.
Applications by those from further afield will also be considered if accompanied by letters of recommendation from Dementlieuse citizens. Service in the Milice can open the way to a career in the Gendarmerie Nationale for such individuals. This is no empty promise, with at least one sargent in Port a Lucine having being an outlander who rose through the Milice Nationale thanks to exceptional service.
See below the regulations of service:
