Background

Jacob "Bones" Anders joined the US Navy on his 18th birthday looking for a quick way to get out of his podunk Oklahoma farm town. He was halfway through bootcamp when NATO invaded Yemen. After a month of chipping paint on his first ship, Jacob came to the realization that Boatswain’s Mate was not the glamorous job the posters made it out to be. Looking for an end to the monotony, he volunteered for the ship’s boarding teams. Though scrawny, Jacob excelled at the physical challenge of VBSS. His quick reflexes and sharp instincts proved perfect for the cramped and messy work of clearing suspect vessels of pirates and terrorists.

Nearly eight years later Jacob faced a conundrum. After six deployments to the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, and even a stint with RIVRON 2 pulling security operations on Somalia’s Shebelle river, BM1(SW/EXW) Anders knew he was never going to make chief. That left him with two options, either continue slaving away in the Navy with no hope of promotion, or jump ship and try his luck with X-Com. He chose the one with the better health plan.
