B. Background Summary:
----------------------

Picket was born into a family of academics.  Both parents, and three of four
grandparents had careers as professors at major universities.  With his
strong intellect, it was a given that he would follow the family tradition
and embark in an academic career.

Picket's appointment to Star Fleet Academy was a spontaneous happenstance.  
One of the two candidates from his district was killed in an accident days
before the appointment lists were due.  All other potential candidates had
already accepted invitations from other universities and declined to take the
available slot.  The senator in charge of Academy appointments was the guest
presenter for the annual Massachusetts science competition, where Picket won
first place in the senior division.  Even though Picket had a full
scholarship to MIT in the fall, the senator gave him the Academy recruiting
pitch.  To the Senator's shock, Picket immediately accepted the appointment.

C. Personality Summary:
-----------------------

Picket is an introvert.  His interests rarely align with those around him.  
Therefore, he grew up avoiding conversations and trying to avoid personal
interactions.  This apparent aloofness tends to alienate others.  If the
topic of conversation interests him, Picket can readily interact and
participate.

==========================================================================
V. Skills Profile
==================

Picket is obsessed with chaos theory.  He is fascinated by the endless
combinations affecting disparate areas such as mathematics, psychology,
philosophy, and history.  In most cases, his life decisions are calculated
using this theory.  Picket is not particularly athletic and performs best in
tasks that rely more on planning and evaluation rather than strength or
endurance.

==========================================================================
VI. Recent Fitness Reports
==========================

Picket is a solid, not outstanding, student.  What sets him apart from his
peers is his flexibility in approaching problems and exercises.  Picket is
one of a handful of cadets that already looks for solutions beyond the
typical solutions force fed to the cadets in the standard academic
curriculum.  Recommend Picket as a command-track candidate, fast-track not
indicated.  He is not recommended as a fast-track candidate due to his lack
of drive and ambition that is almost universally present in successful fast-
trackers.  This is due to his academic-oriented mindset and upbringing, which
stressed tradition, progression, and "paying one's dues."

==========================================================================
VIII. Current Recreational Interests
==================================

Picket enjoys creating chaos theory-based simulations of historical events
and evolution models.  He also enjoys 3-D chess and ancient strategy-based
board games.
