Biographical Notes ======================= A. Chronology (tabular form) ---------------------------- 0-18: Lived with parents on Sol III; attended Terran public schools. 18-22: Attended Starfleet Academy. 22- : Active duty in Star Fleet. B. Background Summary --------------------- Yoshi--he has always gone by his middle name--was raised in a traditional Japanese household. Per tradition, a family's oldest son is the most important child in the family and the one that receives the most attention; Yoshi is the younger of the family's two children. This, combined with his brother being smarter, stronger, more athletic, etc., led Yoshi to develop a fatalistic attitude towards life. Although Yoshi grew up in San Francisco in the shadow of Star Fleet HQ and the Academy, it was not until his junior year in high school, while completing college applications, did he consider Star Fleet. This was a turning point for him, as it represented a virgin path to create his own destiny, free from the shadow of his older brother and family. A refreshing sense of purpose and freedom rewarded Yoshi's decision. He gained a tremendous amount of self-confidence by being judged on his merits, rather than being compared to Thomas or the expectations of his parents. He still has a long journey ahead, as his brother was merely replaced by over 300 classmates, most overachievers as well. This life experience has made Yoshi somewhat shy. Although he is not a recluse, he will generally try to avoid crowds and gatherings. He just cannot feel comfortable in those settings, as he never feels that he "fits in." Yoshi is a competent technician. He does not catch on as quickly as some, but once he finally grasps a concept, he retains it and can apply it in the field. ======================================================================== IV.

Skills Profile ================== Tamura is not very athletic. Although a member of the pistol team at the Academy, his phaser skills are mediocre. He is a competent, but not a brilliant, electrical engineer. ======================================================================== VI. Recent Fitness Reports ========================== ENS Tamura is a diligent, hard working, and conscientious junior officer. As one of two department supervisors, he managed a shift of seven enlisted crewmen. His shift always completed its assigned tasks satisfactorily and on schedule. He has a solid grasp of the technical aspects of the job. Tamura's work ethic is exemplary. He consistently jumped in and got his "hands dirty" in order to ensure his shift met the demanding deadlines of getting the outpost back to 100% operational status after its recent damage. He and his shift were always ready to go above and beyond and volunteer to help in any capacity. The only concern is his leadership abilities. Tamura still needs work on properly delegating work to his subordinates; as a young and enthusiastic ensign, he has a tendency to get too involved in the day-to-day tasks of his shift. Although he manages his workload adequately now, he will find it increasingly difficult as his responsibilities increase as he advances in rank and responsibility. Tamura's last physical fitness assessment showed body composition within standards and ranked at the 39th percentile. I recommend retention of service and a subsequent assignment as a division officer or senior supervisor. -- LCDR A. Jacoren Commanding Officer, SF Engineering Corps, Det Memory Alpha ======================================================================== VII. Psychological Profile ========================== ENS Tamura is a competent officer. His major limitation is his lack of confidence. This limitation is a result of his being overshadowed by his older brother throughout his childhood. Until he can overcome this handicap, he will never rise to his potential. Although hidden, he does possess the potential to become an outstanding leader and officer. A secondary factor contributing to his lack of confidence is his average hand-eye coordination. Although not a problem during everyday activities, in an environment of overachievers, it is clearly evident that physically, he is a tier below the top performers. Within those limitations, he performs very well. He is a hard worker, compensating for his lack of innate abilities with a healthy drive and persistence that make him an asset to the fleet. In one respect, this may put him a step ahead of some of his peers, as he has already learned the value of a good work ethic--while many of those who have relied on their natural abilities until now have yet to learn that lesson. ENS Tamura should have a long and productive career ahead of him. -- LCDR Joshua Bradley Staff Psychologist, Star Fleet Academy ======================================================================== VIII. Current Recreational Interests ================================== Tamura is not a very physical person. Except for regular exercise to maintain required physical fitness standards, he avoids physical activities whenever possible. His interests include chess, logic puzzles, and reading. ========================================================================
