Education/Service:
Born in Oxfordshire England, Jad Raynar loved flying since he first saw a peregrine falcon. His motto, "To fly is to be free", came from the freedom he saw the falcon enjoying. No rules, just the wind in your face. At the age of four his family moved to Borden military base in Ontario, Canada. Under the suggestion of his father, Charles and his mother, Michelle, Jad joined the local air cadets, and was soon recognized as having a knack for flying and sharp shooting. Even though he didn't always respect his commanding officers when he thought he was right about something. At the age of 14 he quit cadets, to make room for his studies at school. While in grade nine he stopped some bullies from picking on a boy named Brian Rolfe. After that Brian and he became best friends and Brian followed him everywhere. At age 16 his friendship with Brian ended when they had a fight over a girl named Claire Luna. Brian ended up winning Claire's heart, and Jad, heartbroken, went back to England for a year, to learn how to pilot Cargo shuttles with his uncle roy, who owned a shipping business there. After his uncle roy caught him performing acrobatic maneuvers with the shuttle, he thought he was in big trouble, until his uncle offered him a job as a fighter escort for his frieghters. At age eighteen, at the suggestion of his Uncle Roy, Jad joined the Marine academy at Starfleet.
In the academy it became clear that Jad was frontline material. His piloting and shooting was second to none, and he was quite adept in astronavigation and basic engineering. However he just barely passed his covert operations training courses. During his first year at the academy he met a klingon pilot trainee named K'tan who insisted that he was the better pilot. Their rivalry became the talk of the academy as Jad, who chose the call sign Falcon, continued to battle for number one on the academy killboard, with an honor-obsessed Klingon. Their rivalry ended when K'tan, obsessed, with getting Jad off of the killboard, rammed Jad's fighter in a training excercise, putting Jad in a Coma for a week and killing the KIingon. Jad awoke to many friends, including Brian and his newly wed wife, Claire, who gave him the news that due to his ability to pilot a heavily damaged fighter in an emergency landing, while only semi-concious, and come out with only minor injuries, That he would lead a team of fighter pilots in a bunch of trick maneuvers to impress the admirals that were coming to witness the graduation ceremonies. He graduated as one of the best pilots to ever come out of the academy. He was top of the killboard and top of his marine class.
