Editing Will Alexander (section)

=== Background ===

Born on a Starfleet base in Rota, Spain on Stardate 2380.04.26.  His father served six years in Starfleet then retired at the rank of Lt.  He then became a lawyer.  Will lived his entire life on earth along with his parents, and his younger siblings, John, David, and Elisa.  He is the grandson of former Starfleet Admiral, who died when will was 6 in 2386.

He lived a pretty normal and uneventful life.  He wanted to be a lawyer before entering Starfleet Academy.  In fact he had taken that path and enrolled in the University of Oklahoma and obtained two degrees there.  After graduation he decided to enroll in Starfleet Academy,
deciding that becoming a lawyer would be enjoyable, but decided that, it wasn't the best choice for him.  Though he did attend special correspondence classes.

His brother John is currently a Senior in Starfleet Medical.  His brother David, a Junior, is a tatical major.  All 3 siblings attended major universities before going to the Academy because they wanted to make sure that is what they truly wanted to do.  John graduated from Texas A&M University with a Pre-Med degree and David graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Interplanetary and Earth history.

When they were little they all wanted to be Starfleet officers, like their dad was, and most of their uncles on their mom's side of the family were.  They would always make believe they were onboard ships and would play.  But as they grew older those dreams seamed to fade.  Will became more interested in business and managing things.  He wanted to be an interplanetary business lawyer and work with other planets.  Business and managemnet grew on him, as well as studying law.  However in his senior year at university, while he was debating Starfleet or law school, he chose the Starfleet because he didn't want to make a descion he would regret.  Realizing he could always become a lawyer after finishing his service in Starfleet, he thought he would pursue his dreams of traveling the stars.

His brothers also followed suit. The day Will entered Starfleet the three brothers made a pact they would all serve time in Starfleet and put their careers on hold, serving in Starfleet to achieve their childhood dream and to "protect" the galaxy.  John, knowing that a medical degree from Starfleet would allow him to practice privately when he was done serving, entered as a medical major.  David, an avid weapons collector, had planned all along to enter starfleet as a career and only got the degrees in history because history was one of his passions.

Will is of Spanish(Spain) and American descent. He grew up in Dallas, Texas, USA, but also lived in Florida, Mexico City, Mexico, and Hondruas due to his dad's legal career that he took after being honorably discharged from Starfleet.

Will comes from a family of Starfleet officers.  On his mothers side he has 10 uncles currently serving in Starfleet with 2 of them in the Admiralty, 3 of them in command of their own ship, 3 serving as first officers, 1 Chief Engineer and 1 JAG.  His grandfather on his mom's side was also a Starfleet Admiral before he died when Will was six.  Will also has many cousins serving in Starfleet.  On his fathers side, only his dad served in starfleet as a CONN officer and then later as a flight instructor at the Rota Base in Spain; though his grandfather on his dad's side did serve as a politician on Earth, as well as the President of Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. On his dad's side Will has no cousin's in starfleet, and his sister has no plans of entering into Starfleet.

Will wanted to become an Operations officer because he has a love for managing things as well as making sure things run smoothly, due to his interested in business admistration.  He views running a Starship like running a business except with a lot more circuitry, technology, and the fact that it is a ship. He aslo believed that of all the positions available to him, the OPS position best suited who he was.  He was also interested in a postion as a CONN officer because he is very interested in flight and flying things and because, when he was young, he would play "Starship" with his brothers would always be the pilot.  Upon graduation his first posting was as an officer serving in both departments.
