He would be formally transferred out of OCS at 22 and sent to West Point Academy to receive a more formal education in Naval history, tactics, and command skills. He would be seen as a pioneer at the Academy often bending the rules to serve those below him. He would graduate at 23 with a Bachelors in Political Science and Applied Navigational Physics and be assigned to the Galahad where he would quickly rise through the ranks.

During his time onboard the Galahad as the lead navigator onboard during a battle against the Insurrectionist forces he would come up with a risky maneuver that would trans-locate the ship in two points in space time allowing both the ship to be in two different places at the same time, while not being anywhere. The Hoshino Maneuver would become one of the most difficult maneuvers to pull off, by would lead to the survival of his ship, and the victory in that specific battle.

It would be in 2517 that he would be forced to resign from active duty after he developed early symptoms of Fletchers Syndrome due to long term exposure to Vector Radiation due to the nature of older vessels of his time.

Final Order
In 2552 after the successful reactivation of the Spirit of Endurance he was re-posted to the vessel as a observer and would later give the order to a young ensign to over-ride his officers commands to allow him to stabilize the core after a misalignment.

He would be killed by the radiation in a matter of minutes but saved his ship.
