Character Name: John Sheppard Special Unit: Search & Rescue, Aerial Survey & Exploration Pilot Applicable Skills: John is a Lt. Col in the USAF, as well as an experienced and accomplished pilot. John's had his wings for 10+ years, and has flown through a multitude of different environments, from Afghanistan to Antarctica, and more recently, the Pegasus Galaxy.
John is highly proficient in the control, navigation, and weapons systems of both human and alien aircraft, and has manned a wide variety of vessels, from helicopters and shuttles to deep-space cruisers.
With hundreds of successful missions beneath his belt, ranging from search and rescue to reconnaissance, and a kill-count he's long since stopped counting, it's safe to say John's a flying ace, and one of the saltiest dogfighters in this galaxy, or the next.
John's also a competent commander, capable of directing tactical airborne operations from the bridge, or a cockpit. That said, his preference is to fly, and he'd rather be in the air than anywhere else.
On the ground, John's an excellent soldier, and first-rate marksman. Trained in guerrilla warfare, reconnaissance, and negotiation, he acts as Atlantis' Chief of Security, and directs all Pegasus based military personnel and operations, as well as leading his own hand-picked strike force for special missions.
