Hey Guys,
simple point - if you don't like the rules, play in another game. If you want to go through the cadet scheme you do it to the requirements set down, if you don't but do have the 'quals' then get the hours and apply direct. After all you are seeking to join the company through a very specific pathway and like it or not the white rodent is the one setting the rules. and NO I don't work for them.
