By the end of his second year, his poor scores in these disciplines lowered his grade average such that Admiral Wagner refused to be the faculty adviser for Didrik's junior thesis on the use of guerilla tactics in the last days of the Dominion War. | At the Academy, Didrik was a Tactical major and pursued minors in Navigation and Communications.

He took a leave of absence from the Academy in November 2384, and went to work for the Bajoran charitable organization his mother founded. He spent much of 2385 and early 2386 on Bajor, as a teacher at a school in Rakantha Province. During his year on Bajor, he continued to research and write his thesis, and upon his completion, Didrik sent a copy to Admiral Wagner at the Academy. | ||
Didrik's leave of absence provided him with the clarity and sense of purpose he'd lost, and his desire to continue his tactical studies was rekindled.
