Alex served in the Marine Corps for several years before he came to the realization that his heart was not in it. He realized while he loved being a Marine and it was definitely a way to help others, serving as a soldier was not what he was meant to do. Alex was not the only one who made this realization, his commanding officer, Major Brent Sheldon, spotted the change in attitude in Alex. After a lot of urging by Major Sheldon, Alex applied to Starfleet Academy and was accepted on his first attempt. | Alex served in the Marine Corps for several years before he came to the realization that his heart was not in it.

After his graduation from the Academy, the newly commissioned Ensign Alex Blair was assigned to the [[USS_Tiger-A|USS Tiger-A]] as an engineering officer. During his time aboard the Tiger, Alex worked his way from being a lowly Ensign engineering officer to being a Lieutenant Commander and the Chief Engineer. Alex served aboard the Tiger for almost two years where he participated in some very interesting missions. From traveling back in time to prevent the Borg from interfering in the outcome of World War II on Earth to surviving a crash onto an oceanic planet aboard the Tiger, Alex saw a lot of action aboard the USS Tiger-A. During his time aboard the Tiger, Alex developed a fondness for the ship and even began to form thoughts about one day becoming her Captain. This ambition however suffered a blow when on Stardate 239103.31 the USS Tiger-A was decommissioned. | After his graduation from the Academy, the newly commissioned Ensign Alex Blair was assigned to the [[USS_Tiger-A|USS Tiger-A]] as an engineering officer.
