Personal History

Creighton Arcadia was born into a working class family from the Midwest. Through his life he knew that he would have to work hard to get ahead, especially if he wanted something more than just continuing his family's working class life. In junior high he found the Civil Air Patrol which lead to an interest in the Air Force. He joined ROTC in high school and 'grinned and bore it' as it was Navy based. But, it allowed him to advance a pay grade after he successfully completed basic training.

During high school he also met, and fell in love with, Inaya Jackson. They remained committed to each other through high school and she promised to stay by his side as he enlisted in the Air Force.

He knew he didn't make the height/weight for a pilot and, well, he wasn't sure about anything else he wanted to do, so Creighton enlisted open ticket. Fortunately his ASVAB/MEPPS let him qualify for Security Forces and he jumped on the chance for that placement. He made it through basic and AIT. After his first year in the service, he knew he wanted to make a career of the AF and he wanted a family. He had leave before he was tasked for a tour through Afghanistan. During leave he proposed to Inaya. She said yes but also accused him of planning it so he would be out of the country and wouldn't have to deal with the wedding planning.

After he returned from his tour, he and Inaya were wed. Married life was difficult as he was transferred from place to place while also trying to work on obtaining a degree and advanced training. Somehow, however, they must have done something right as he and Inaya became the proud parents of a baby daughter. Wanting to be a father to his child caused Arcadia to decide he wanted a more long term, stable assignment and began working toward that goal.

Just before orders were cut sending him to Cheyenne Mountain, he learned his wife and child were killed in a drunk driving incident. Arcadia took the bereavement leave offered, saw the chaplain, went to the counseling his CO ordered but knew he would never get over the death of his wife and daughter. And two years later, they are still his first thoughts in the morning and his last thoughts at night. The pain of their loss may have lessened, but he knew the hole in his heart will never heal.

Now, after spending two years in the highly classified assignment and realizing what he's protecting in the mountain, Arcadia has decided his new mission is to get placed on an SG team.
