Character Creation Challenge 1 of 31, Sieward Shvets

I did the rolls on this character shortly after midnight. Craig got his first character up this morning. I wanted to do some finishing touches today. Using the format from TTB: 
 
Sieward Shvets, Army Lt. Colonel, 3 1/2 terms Age 32
UPP 588889                                                Cr22,000
Admin-1, Computer-1, Grav Vehicle-1, Rifle-1, SMG-3, Tactics-1
Dagger, Low Passage

Quick bio: enlisted from his homeworld into the Army at age 18, selected for commission that term, promoted to Captain. Certified SMGx2, Rifle, Tactics, Computer, and trained in endurance, reenlistment accepted. Took second term, promoted to Major. Certified Grav Vehicle, SMG, and reenlistment accepted. Took third term, promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, certified in Administration, and took endurance training, and reenlistment accepted. Fourth term, injured on operations, invalidated out at age 32.

As  a generic character, I can keep him as is. If I was to play him in a game, I'd spend some of the money to purchase some equipment. He's eminently playable, being capable working with computers and administration, as well as in a combat situation, with tactics and a very good SMG skill. Rolls, as my practice, are below the break.
