Message: <blockquote data-quote="reveal" data-source="post: 2466343" data-attributes="member: 1236">Jim Johnson, "Bubba" to his friends, was born into an Army family. As a child, he traveled the world extensively, never settling down in one place for too long. He enjoyed the travel and was excited to see new places and meet new people.When he turned 18, he decided to join the Air Force. He received very good grades in school and decided he wanted to do more than just be an Army grunt, like his father. After a few months of getting the crap assignments, he decided it would be better to be an officer because "they do less and get paid more."He entered the Boot Strap program and, after getting his degree and graduating with a 4.0 GPS, was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant. He decided that piloting was something he was interested in, but his degree in Communications limited him. He can fly well but he never got to be the chance to be a fighter pilot. Instead, he became a Communications officer, responsible for his men in the field being able to contact others for support in hostile situations.He became extremely good at his job and quickly rose in rank. He has seen action in the Grenada, the Gulf War and Kosovo. He was always seen as a leader who had your back in a fight, willing to lay down suppressing fire or take a bullet for you, and someone who could talk a tense situation out and help everyone relax. His motto has always been "know your enemy and know thyself."2 years ago, Col O'Neal contacted him about leading a team on a recon mission. He asked where they were going, but Jack told him to come to "the mountain" and he'd explain everything.Bubba was in awe when told of the Stargate and utterly silent when it was shown to him. After the shock wore off, he found himself excited at the possibility of going "off-world." But he knows it can be dangerous. He expects his troops to follow his orders because when you don't, people die."Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys. Look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death!" - Sun Tzu, the Art of War</blockquote>
