US Army, only served a year though was medically discharged for previously diagnosed medical issue. Grandfather was USNR in WWII, DD-652 USS Ingersoll. Both he and my grandmother worked at Bath Iron Works from 87 - 07. She has hilarious horror stories of building DDG-51 Arleigh Burke, one day you walk through a door and the next day its been patched over. I guess this happens fairly often when building the first ship of it's class, and similar problems are being encountered with the USS Zumwalt.

Starfleet 2341 - 2358. Had a good career and was destined for my own command until I accidentally deleted one of the hedonistic holodeck simulations that was a favorite of a well known admiral.

Hmm. I was on the away party of the IKS Fek'lhr, a B'rel class Bird of Prey, twelve years garrison duty on Praxis and eight in the Neutral Zone, Alpha Quadrant. I wonder if our paths ever crossed.
