At around five decades old, Bruce "Lucky" Paulson has led a distinguished career
in Starfleet.  He has participated in three extended conflicts, twelve first
contact encounters, and two five year exploratory missions.  He has served as a
Chief of the Boat, Commander of two Starfleet garrisons, and Captain of the
Federation's newest Constitution class starship, the USS REPBULIC. 
 
Paulson's list of commendations are respectably extensive.  He earned a Bronze
Star and Wounded Lion while repelling boarders during the Aurias Conflict of
2236.  He was awarded a second Wounded Lion for actions on Outpost Cestus III
in 2259. 
 
Most notably, he earned a Silver Star in 2258 for selfless actions aboard the
late USS ODYSSEY.  During Nero's attack on Vulcan, he survived the initial
assault inside the shuttle hanger's flight control room.  Suffering from a
concussion and broken wrist, he re-entered the ODYSSEY's shattered hull four
times to bring wounded back to a shuttle pod in the only remaining
pressurized maintenance bay.  His bravery saved twelve other crewmen: the only
survivors of the doomed Vulcan rescue fleet. 
 
Lucky Thirteen
--------------
The first question many people ask Paulson is why does everyone call him Lucky?  
Paulson earned his nickname during his exploits in the Bull Riding ring as a
wreckless youth: specifically that he managed to escape serious injury after
being spectacularly thrown virtually every ride. Ironically, he was the only
man in Texas to last 13 seconds on Stone Grinder, a feat to which songs are
still sung in the bars of Denton.  The nickname Lucky, however, has stuck
because of Paulson's unlikely and sometimes macabe association the number
thirteen.

VII. Psychological Profile
==========================
==========================
 
Through his record and interview, Bruce "Lucky" Paulson impresses me a fairly
uncomplex man of great enthusiasm, fair mindedness, quick wit, considerate
charm, and deep devotion to his responsibilites.  His proven ability to inspire
and motivate his men speaks for itself.  Everyone I have corresponded with
regarding this evaluation says he is a pleasure to work with: the model of
professionalism and decor.
