====[[Starfleet Academy]]====

In 2402 will offically began classes at the [[Starfleet Academy]].  He had chosen to go there rather then going to law school.  He had an easy time adapting to life there, though, some of the current Academy football players were a little ticked seeing as Will as a member of the University of Oklahoma football team had beaten them in the Earth Collegiate Championship game the year before. Will also took law classes through a special correspondence outreach program offered by the University of Oklahoma to Starfleet cadets and Officers in the obtaining of post graduate degrees. Will took the classes in simulated environments at nights, supervised by an outreach instructor, a long with other students in a similar program. At the time he finished the academy, he had finished most of his course work but decided to pursue the ship career instead.

While at the academy his specialized in ship piloting systems, transporters and general operations.  He also joined the debate team, and showed he was a good asset to them as he was named a captain his juior and senior years.  He helped in capturing two Earth Collegiate Championships with them, as well as one Federation Intercollegiate Championship.  He graduated number 15th in his class on Stardate 2406.05.15, he then took some advanced training classes and was shipped to his first duty station the USS Cochrane.

Will arrived on the [[USS Cochrane]] as an Ensign Junior Grade and was posted as a [[Flight Officer|CONN]]/[[Operations Officer|OPS]] Officer.  However just mere days after his arrival the USS Cochrane was scheduled for decommissioning and Will was transfered to the USS Mystique.

On stardate 2406.11.05 Will arrived onboard the [[USS Mystique]] where he met Commander [[Remae Ktell]].  Remae was the CO of the USS Spectre, however due to the use of a Spectre in a special mission, Remae was demoted to Commander and made first officer of the Mystique.  This meant that a good portion of the Spectre crew was on board as well.  Will learned that his posting on the Mystique was only temporary, due to the fact that as soon as the Spectre was done with her mission he was to transfer over and become a part of her crew.  During his day on the Mystique he aided in the removal of strange energy creatures that were attracted to the warp core.

On 2406.11.06,Will was given the rank of Ensign Senior Grade and moved over to the USS Spectre as her Chief [[Flight Officer|Conning]] and [[Operations Officer|Operations]] Officer.

Once on board the [[USS Spectre]], Will settled in quite nicely.  After getting a full crew at Starbase Geneva, Will participated against the Spectre in a tactical simulation, where he commanded the Runnabout Evangeline against his ship while in an asteroid field.  This led to his promotion to [[Third Officer]] on Stardate 2406.11.11.

Later on with the Spectre on a mission to study a star they came across her sister ship the USS Phantom.  Due to the machinations of some of the Phantoms crew he switched bodies with a manipulative Commander Steve Furrows.  While on the Phantom Will discovered a way to switch their bodies back, and then destroyed all evidence and data of the body switching techinque so that it would not be replicated.  Due to his actions on recapturing the Spectre, which was enroute to liberate a prison colony, he was awarded a Captains Commendation on Stardate 2406.11.13.

Soon after he was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and took over [[Second Officer]] duties from Lt. Commander [[Pierce Orde]].  Will was rather pleased at his promotion so quickly, as well as shocked since he had only been out of the academy less then a year.

After the Phantom mission, Will went with the Spectre to Spacedock Phoenix where he aided in the refit and helped install a Strategic Operations Center.

Will was in temporary command of the Spectre while an away team headed up by First Officer Lt. [[T'Vhor]] and Captain [[Remae Ktell]] were on the surface of Betazed aiding the resistance there.  While in command Will and the remaining senior staff worked to find a saboteur, sadly however he escaped on the Spectre's new type 11 shuttle.  After being unable to beam the saboteur out, Will ordered its destruction, however the Saboteur escaped. Will was relieved of command by Lt. T'Vhor win the away team returned to the Spectre, although Captain Remae was injured severely on the mission.

Will has also gained a crush on Assistant Chief Science Officer Lt. JG [[Yayla Nollys]], and has asked her out on a date. Their date went well but the relationship went no where thanks to his being transferred to the [[USS Dennison]]

On Stardate: 2407.01.18 Will was promoted to Lieutenant Senior Grade and offered the position of First Officer on the USS Dennison.  He left the Spectre and awaited pick up on Starbase 375.

====[[USS Dennison]]====

On Stardate: 2407.02.01 Will boarded the Dennison and assumed duties as [[First Officer]]. Also on on Stardate: 2407.02.01 Will was also promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander due in part  what he accomplished during his time with the Spectre, the other half being on good faith from Captain [[Madison Davis]] that he will serve her and the Dennison well. While on the Dennison Will was present during the course of the Civil War and a few mishaps. There was the presence of a saboteur who murdered Chief Engineer Lt. Ryan Maines, as well as freak holodeck accident that saw the death of Strategic Operations Officer Lt. [[Thomas Loyola]] killed by a Holodeck vampire from one of Will's holodeck programs. After escaping the Holodeck, Will and the Dennison crew attempted to aid the USS Beowulf before it was destroyed, and rescued 5 of its crew, including Lt. Commander Michael Loyola the Beowulf first officer and brother of the recently deceased Thomas Loyola. During this time will had completed his Law Degree through the outreach program, as well attempted to date Beowulf Counselor Halima Thomas, who may or may not have been an ancestor of Captain Madison Davis, but that didn't get very far. After being jumped four months through time, Will stepped down as First Officer due to stress and accepted the position of Third Officer and Chief Conning Officer. This would be brief, as Will had, without anyone on the Dennison knowing, passed the Starfleet Bar exam and was accepted to the JAG corp on Starbase Geneva, where he served til the end of the war. Will felt as if he had been running away, but he blamed himself for the destruction of the Beowulf as well as the death of Lt. Loyola and felt he was not fit for Starship duty. So he pursued what he thought at the time was what he originally wanted to be.

Served aboard Geneva in the [[Starfleet Judge Advocate General Corps (JAG)]] as a prosecutor before leaving temporarily for an assignment on the USS Hades. During his time he assisted in the Legal research side of prosecutions dealing with the events during the course of the civil war. Will did not get to prosecute these cases, and was then sent to prosecute misdemeanors as they felt it was a better use of his talents, because although he was a Lt. Commander he was a relative rookie to the legal field and the JAG corp.

====[[USS Hades]]====

In Early 2408 Will had temporarily been transferred as a [[Starfleet Judge Advocate General Corps (JAG)|JAG]] Officer to the USS Hades to aid in negotiations with the Romulans. Left quietly during that time to return to Starbase Geneva and the JAG Corp as this was a temporary assignment. He was assigned to this mission, as the JAG base on Starbase Geneva felt that a JAG with command and ship experience was better suited for a mission like this.

====[[USS Humboldt]]====

2408-While on return to Geneva from the Hades, Will immediately sent in a request to return to active Starship duty. His request was granted by the time his transport arrived at Geneva and he had just enough time to gather his things and head to his next assignment as CONN/OPS officer on board the Nebula Class ship the USS Humboldt, of which during his first mission on board reunited him with his old ship, the Spectre.  His request was granted as the fleet was more than happy to return an officer with combat, and command experience to the fleet, when his skills in that area were being wasted. Will was more than happy to return to active duty as he felt certain now that he did not want to be a lawyer. While on the Humboldt he served primarily as a CONN officer and Chief of the Conning Department while the Assistant Chief of Operations. He also spent time as a mentor to the young officers in the Conning Department.

====[[USS Spectre]]====

Will was transferred back to the Spectre sometime after his posting aboard the Humboldt. During his first day back he led an away mission on board the Shuttlecraft Crusader to repair the Spectre's hull. During the repairs a freak accident critically injured Lt. JG Adams and Ensign JG Talbot.  Furthermore on his first day back, due to an illness striking Lt. Commander [[Brian Rogers]], Will was chosen by Captain T'Vhor to lead an away team consisting of himself, Major [[Bruce Kowalski]], Lt. Commander [[Calvin Capps]], 2nd Lt. [[Robert Sykes]], and Corporal Lewis O'Hara over to a Borg Ship on a special Starfleet mission to recover a Borg Central Plexus.  They were successful in recovering the Central Plexus, but it was damaged. Will was then afterwards named Third Officer and Strategic Operations officer of the Spectre. On Stardate: 2408.06.10 the entire 52nd fleet was transported into the future to Stardate 2413.09.08.
