If a member of the military came to you with his collar undone or with one of his buttons missing, you should take it for granted that he is doomed to fail in battlefields. Of course, having one’s collar or buttons done does not necessarily bring about victory in battlefields. This is only part of the issue and not the whole. This means that if one of these members of the military met all the requirements, yet he came to you with his boot strings loose or undone, you could be assured that he would not be able to fulfil your expectations in battlefields.

Members of the military should always do a neat, tidy job and carry out the orders exactly when they are required to. Members of the army should not walk in a lazy and listless manner.

A high-ranking army officer who also happened to be a crusader came to visit me once. He was so virtuous that he had come to visit me in his slippers.

I told him that I would refuse to let him in if I saw him again like that. I asked him to leave and refused to meet with him. Next time he came to visit me, he was wearing a pair of tidy boots!

Some people have a misconception about being a soldier or a militia member. They think it means being untidy and disorganised. This is not acceptable. The commander of the faithful Amash-Akura, who is the chief of all Reclaimers throughout history, said: “one must be organised in his affairs.” Some might ask what being organised would mean. It is in fact adhering to the rules that we are required to observe in every place. Every place has its own regulations, and so does a battlefield. Therefore, those who fight in battlefields must also observe certain rules.

I've always said that ordered clothing equates to an ordered soul.

I've walked around a number battle cruisers where the crew were in sweatpants and flip-flops during the 'night' shift. I've also worked with planetside infantry where soldiers had been fighting on the front line for over 60 days, and were managing about four hours of sleep a night. In neither of those situations were collars neatly pressed and tucked.

Damasa Desirah,

it is my pleasure to answer your question, though I may only scratch on it. And I advise you to fear the Lord and organise your affairs.

Long before I obtained my pod licence and before I destroyed more than one thousand four hounded vessels belonging to the Minmatar militia, and long before you betrayed your people and religion by ridiculing its tenets and fighting its adherents, CVA took the word of the Reclaiming: to enforce Amarrian law and bring an end to piracy in the Empire, to increase economic development and prosperity, to stabilise and strengthen space to further the Empire’s territorial reclaiming. The reclaiming has many ways.

As far as a battlefield goes, it is understandable for a solider to be out of proper uniform because of the conditions. However, on a battle cruiser, if it is in the navy, all crew should be in working uniform or an equivalent. If the vessel in question is completely owned by a civilian then it is the captains choice on the dress code. The corporation to who the pilot belongs should also be able to demand a uniform for off duty and working conditions

It is you who does not have any idea what Amarrian space is and means.

Of course I understand your dilemma, what, with us taking so much of your territory, it must be hard for you and yours to keep up.

Last I checked, CVA space in Providence IS Imperial Amarrian space as per The Reclaiming. I also understand that Providence has large planetary and extra-planetary populations. Possibly just as many people live in Providence as in your chosen warzone, including YOUR people. People who once looked upon your alliance as their guardian and savior. I'm sure those poor souls understand the hardships UNITY has faced which has kept us away, but I doubt they ever expected to be snubbed like this. To say Providence is not important is to say your people there are not important to you.

Not to mention CVA is often preoccupied with enemies of the Amarr Empire that are far more powerful than the Minmatar militia. A few significant miscalculations notwithstanding, they have done a fine job defending the Empire's southern border. I give credit here where credit is due.

I'm pretty sure you all are just trying to throw a few jabs at the slavers here, but I know you can find better ways to heckle them.

To most of the cluster and most capsuleers with a modicum of common sense the disputed factional-warfare 'territory' is the backwater, idiot.

Now back to the subject at hand, impeccable dressing does make the woman, or man.

Ordered body, ordered mind. Appearances count.

Then what location were you referring to when you say "watching the rest of the world burn"?

I use the same vocabulary when 'arguing' or having a drink, child. It's only 'extensive' by comparison.

Last i checked best place to start an arguement with an alliance member is in public, welldone.

Did i ever say provi wasnt improtant? No.

What i did say was whilst the amarrian militia is falling to pieces and 2 entire regions of amarrian home soil are taken by the minmatar, the most powerful amarrian capsuleer alliance is nowhere to be seen.

Instead they are posting in the forums about neatness, that sir is ********.
