Cadet Cruise

• Whilst Benjamin had done well at the Academy and passed all his semesters, he found it hard to balance his social life and his work life on his cruise. Benjamin was placed on the New Zealand penal colony, a small rehabilitation centre. Benjamin, whislt dedicated to his work, found it difficult to carry out. Until a small rebellion struck the colony and he was a major player in shutting it down. This not only boosted his confidence but made him realise that working with prisoners and security was what he was suppose to do. The remaining two months Benjamin learnt to adapt his social life to his work life, and so very quickly and efficently. This earned himt he very rare and prestigous event of being promoted for his exemplary actions and quick thinking in a tense and volitile situation.

• Benjamin Knowles, when he first came here i didn't think much to him, he struggled to adapt and showed little room for help, a very independant and strong willed young man. During his time here a riot broke loose causing damage to cell blocks, Benjamin was insrtumental in crushing this riot and securing his orders. This seemed to boost his confidence and ability to gain balance in his life, thus causing him to enjoy and react better to situations. I wish him well for the future and congratulations on the promotion. - Cmdr John Chapman. Stardate 238001.10
