Army service

Rickson was a war hero in Letzter Kreig, the Barraccuda civil war. He had many roles, mainly gunner our of helicopters and tanks. He was in 4 helicopters that were shot down. He survived them all and killed all the men that came to capture him. He was injured many times, two main times being taking 4 flak shots in the leg in a helicopter, and being thrown 15 feet from his tank when an explosion hit it. John had earned the reputation as war hero in the first few months of the war. After 12 weeks of the war, he was promoted to squad leader, where his tactics always won the battle. After the war, Burke chose Rickson as his supreme general due to his battle sense and expert tacticionship. He served as Chairman of the Garestion Pact in July/August of 2006.


Background

John Walker Rickson was born on a small ranch in Londente, Gebirgsland. Gebirgsland was the north side of Barraccuda, but John still fought for Senke der Könige because he shared their views on Gebirgsland. When the war started John hijacked an Apache AH-64 helicopter and flew it to Senke der Könige with one of his best freinds Frank Teller. Frank was used to the Apache's systems and guided him. Frank couldnt fly because he had to gun; Gebirgsland didn't want them to leave. His job was a gunner so he was very used to the controls. They made it to Yalta, Senke der Könige safely after 2 hours of flying. Due to his patriotic spirit John was immediately accepted into the army. He had no formal college, only his high school diploma, but he was still accepted as the Supreme General of Bentay after the war.
