	History

Jon was born in the city of London in 2369 to parents David and Jennifer Oswald, both of whom were on the teaching staff at the prestigious University College London. Academia was the focal point for much of Jon's childhood and his parents guided him down the path to a future career in the sciences. Jon was only a small boy during the Dominion War, but seeing the FNS bulletins show the brave men and women of Starfleet fighting to protect the Federation would plant a seed of inspiration in the young boy's mind.

Jon enjoyed a happy and well rounded childhood and excelled through his schooling and fully supported by his parents, successfully enrolled into University to study physics. Despite having been guided to this moment from birth, Jon quickly found that the civilian sciences didn't hold the same appeal when compared to what some of his friends were doing in Starfleet. The promise of adventure out in the universe, discovery and infinite possibilities was what eventually convinced Jon to withdraw from university and sign up to Starfleet.

Following a gap year of travelling and other activities typically partaken by young men, Jon successfully enrolled into the Academy. He took to the training like a duck to water and excelled through the programmes, soaking it all up like a sponge. His parents, although initially hesitant saw the enjoyment that their son gained from Starfleet and had never been so proud when Jon graduated.

Jon's cadet cruise flew by and the budding officer enjoyed every moment, knowing that he had made the correct decision in joining Starfleet. Successfully finishing his cruise he received the first golden pip and was assigned to the Andaris Task Force where he currently serves.
