Meeks/Professional History

After his acceptance, during his first year, Anthony focused on the requisite classes; searching for which direction he wanted to take his career. By year two, Anthony had decided he would focus his skills in Intelligence and Search and Rescue. Concurrently with his Starfleet Academy studies, Anthony applied to Pararescue school, where he went through Indoc and training. At graduation, he was qualified in combat para-medicine and para-medical rescue.

Anthony’s years at the Academy were less than stellar. He regularly maintained averages in the middle third of his class, but managed none-the-less. His practicum cruise went well, and after completion he was promoted to the rank of Second Lieutenant. The graduation party was short lived though. As is typical in the life of a Marine, he received orders to report immediately to Starbase 118 Ops. As luck would have it, he only had to travel up a turbolift to get to his first duty assignment which was smack in the middle of a major conflict. He jumped right into the fray, boarding a Klingon shuttle and was off to a combat zone. Ah, the life of a Marine... Oohrah!

On 239707.19, Anthony was given command of Delta Co. 292nd Tactical Marine Regiment (Archangels), which was the Marine Search and Rescue detachment for Starbase 118 Ops. Anthony trained hard with his team, bringing Delta into her own. Several small callouts tested Delta's mettle, but the true test of the teams abilities would come during a rescue mission aboard the ECS Andromeda. The medical transport ship had been taken over by the Borg Infested U.S.S. Nimitz, who infected many of the Andromeda crew with Borg nanites and assimilated much of the crew. The rescue mission pitted the crew of SB118 Ops against the ever sinister, but unique Nimitz-Borg. In the end, the Borg were eradicated and most of the Andromeda crew were un-assimilated and returned to their former selves... mostly.
