Quote:At the SPSF (South Pacific Special Forces), we are always looking for new officers to join our force, and our sitting Minister of Defense, Vrigny, has shown plenty of promise. First joining the SPSF in August 2022, he started more actively updating and participating in April 2024, getting promoted to an ensign later that month. He soon was nominated as Minister of Defense, overseeing an uptick in activity and training several new recruits. He has also been a reliable updater at minors, with more than 50 updates under his belt, most of which are in the last few months.

In his role as Minister of Defense, Vrigny has shown great ability in leading operations and rallying troops to liberations, with the SPSF consistently being among the top militaries, if not the top military, in liberation turnout. Vrigny has also recruited several new SPSFers and has kept morale high among the Force during his term.

As he has met the necessary promotion criteria, the Admiralty is proud to announce, with a unanimous vote, that Vrigny has been promoted from Ensign to Lieutenant of the South Pacific Special Forces.

Quote:It is with great happiness we announce the promotion of one of the SPSF’s most prominent figures; who could even be given the title of “savior of the SPSF” thanks to all of his actions both during his time as Minister of Defense as well as his great commanding and leading skill as a lieutenant. I’m obviously talking about our great Concrete Slab! In fact, most of the SPSF’s officer corps today is composed of members recruited by him.

This is not surprising at all, considering that his skill to recruit new members to the SPSF is unmatched by many, if not all. When he served as Minister of Defense, he greatly expanded SPSF’s numbers. Slab’s recruitment during and even after his term was truly special. As a result of his great enthusiasm, many of his recruits regularly attended updates and liberations, and do so even to this day.

When talking about Slab, we shouldn’t forget about his most impressive merit. When he was still a mere soldier (the rank equivalent to ensign at his time), during the major update of 18 March 2023, he led the SPSF to its largest turnout in its long history, with a total of 24 SPSF members showing up to liberate England! These numbers were consistently high with other updates during the England campaign, and his efforts during the operation were the difference between victory and crushing defeat.

With all of this said, the Admiralty is extremely excited to proclaim that, after everything that he’s done, Concrete Slab truly deserves this promotion from a Lieutenant to the SPSF’s newest, and coolest, Captain!
