Character Information:
Why did your character decide to become the CO of a ship?
John Jacksons ultimate goal when joining the USCM as an officer was to become a CO of his own ship and follow in the footsteps of his father, Mark Jackson.
John Jackson grew up in a very patriotic colony along with having a father who once served as the CO of the USS Qualdar. After growing up and hearing stories of all the different Missions that his father had gone on, John decided that he would become a CO himself one day.
How did your character attain the position of CO?
John Jackson was a Executive officer on the USS Haldire for a couple years. He had numerous successful combat operations while serving on the USS Haldire right under major William Martin. He had consistently gone above and beyond when serving under Major Martin. It was after operation Option-Lima, when he eventually got a recommendation for the promotion, by the Major. Jackson was eventually given the opportunity, to be promoted to the CO of his own ship, and he gladly accepted.
Provide a short story of your CO.
Major John Jackson, and his crew, deploy to assault a colony that has been taken over by the CLF.

Command Actions:
When do you believe it’s appropriate to pardon a prisoner?
I believe it’s appropriate to pardon someone if, it was a genuine mistake and they did not knowingly committing the crime, and I am sure they will not re-offend. I don’t think it’s appropriate to pardon someone for knowingly committing the crime and not doing anything to avoid committing it. The only exception to that is if they were acting in good faith and it had a overall good outcome.
Give some examples of when you would or would not use pardon.
Examples I would pardon:
Someone breaks into med bay storage to get medical supplies for a dying person as there are no doctors available.
A squad leader gets arrested for insubordination for abandoning current squad orders to flanking with his squad, causing major progression on the groundside fight as a result. (I’d also question the arresting MPs motives on this one.)
Examples I would NOT pardon:
A MT shocking the brig doors.
An RO gets arrested for spending half the operation medaling with BM stuff.
When do you believe it’s appropriate to use a Battlefield Execution?
I believe a Battlefield Execution is appropriate to be preformed when someone’s actions have a sizeable negative impact on others. An example of that would be, someone repeatedly beating someone’s head in on a table with no justifiable reason.
Give some examples of when you would or would not use Battlefield Execution.
Examples I would BE:
Someone throws another person down the ASRS pit.
Someone starts shooting up CIC.
Someone kills jones :3.
Examples I would NOT BE.
Someone is preforming shenanigans at briefing that are generally disruptive.
Someone is threatening me and my CIC staff over comms.
Someone is harassing me over a decision I have made.
