You grew up in a time of war, more specifically the war between Harmony and the IMC. Harmony was where you grew up, so it was to no one’s surprise when you joined Harmony’s militia the second you turned 18. You started off as a Private, then ranked up to be a Grunt in the SRS.

So he decided to take you on as his apprentice, the Militia was in desperate need for Pilots anyway.
