Service Record	He joined Starfleet academy and at first his training was specific to fly fighters. The fighters had all that magic and charm. He proved himself to be excellent flying fighters, turning to be something of a legend in the academy after the beat the fighter simulation scenario considered unbeateable. Without telling anyone, William changed the focus of his studies and started studying to fly Starsihps. He never explained why the change, but some colegues suspected the fact of it would be faster to get a command flying a starship than a fighter. William finished in the top five percent in Starship Navigation and Science. He took the command classes, but flying was his major. He was first assigned to the USS Saturn as a helm officer, where he met his first wife, Carla. They got married and after three years married, they got divorced. She claimed that he was cold as stone and he claimed that she wanted the impossible: Make him quit Starfleet and start a family. When a posting opened to Assistant Chief Helm officer on the USS Ontario, William took the position with enthusiasm. In the Ontario, he met his second wife, Sylvia. Again, they married quickly and spent the next five years together. When the chance to get the Chief Helm came, William readily accepted, despite the fact that would put him away from his wife. She didn'T accept the idea well. He transferred to the USS Antares and they got separated for several months until William pleaded to her to transfer to the Antares and she accepted. Not after that, William got promoted to First Officer, a thing that for him was a total surprise, but it made him determined to prove his worth.
