	My character, Steve Cortland, was in the Imperial Marine for four
tours of duty.  His father was a successful businessman, and Steve wanted
nothing to do with business...it was too boring a lifestyle for his taste.
So he joined the Marines, a practice not uncommon today.  This was the only
thing that he thought would challenge him.  Four tours later, he retired
with the rank of Force Commander, and a wealth of experience and skills that
being a businessman would never have given him.  I CHOSE to play an ex-mili-
tary type, because I had an idea for a character personality, and wanted to
go with it...
