B. Background Summary
---------------------
Jack Steele had an unremarkable childhood.  Raised in the Canadian North 
he was an avid and gifted hunter and outdoorsman by the age of 12.  The 
Steele family had a long and proud tradition of police/security work 
dating back to the Legendary Samual Steele who was an integral part of 
the formation of the North West Mounted Police in the mid 1870s.  Rick 
caused quite a stir when he opted not to join the Mounties and instead 
listed in Starfleet Academy.

His first two years at the Acadmey Rick enjoyed exemplary.  While always 
a good student he had excelled in his studies at the detriment of his 
social and non-acadmeic life.  While he a good rapport with his fellow 
students and squadmates he picked up the nickname ‘worm’ as when he 
wasn’t in class or training he generally had a book in his hand.  This 
was noted on several occasions by his acamedmic advisor and finally by 
the end of his second year he was ‘ordered’ to involve himself in 
extracurrilar activities.  At the beginning of the third year he 
managed to make onto the 2nd squad of the Academy Soccer Team and also 
became active in the Wargaming Society.

Jack’s early Starfleet years where unremarkable until he distinguished 
himself on SD: 2249.331 while a member of a Landing Party on Artel III.  
The party was ambushed by the primitive Artellians during their survey 
mission.  The officer in command was killed and several of the team were 
captured.  Steele kept a cool head and was able to free the Landing 
Party and escape the planet all without harming any of the natives.  
This seemed to be a turning point in Steele’s career and he began to 
receive more important assignments.

As Steele moved up in rank and responsibility his command style has 
continued to grow.  While a stickler for the rules and regulations 
in his earlier years he has developed into a seasoned and well rounded 
commander.  He still hates to delegate and like to ‘keep his hands 
dirty’ but he has learned to trust his subordinates and takes great 
pride in their accomplishments.

VII. Psychological Profile
==========================

CDR Jack Steele has been a well rounded and stable individual.  However 
he harbours some internal guilt over the actions that led to his current 
assignement.  Intellectually he is aware of the guilt and has taken steps 
to ensure it does not affect his command.  It remains to be seen whether 
he will be able to come to terms with this survivor’s guilt on an 
emotional level.  Given the history of his strong mental health I do not 
forsee this being a long term issue.
