Xam reporting for basic training

Xam walks through a set of big double doors into the main building of the Naval Academy dressed in his flight suit, and looks around.
As he looks about the huge entrance hall he notices a desk at the back of the room with a sign overhead which read "New recruits to register here". As he walks towards the desk he notices a group of three Rodians staring at him.
"It's my first day, don't get into any trouble" he thinks to himself.
When he reaches the desk, he joins the line of about 15 new recruits and awaits his turn to be entered in for basic training. While he waits he looks around the hall and takes in some of the statues of the Dark Jedi Lords and the golden plaques beneath them that give the information of each one.
He looks up toward the ceiling an notices that its is one big window and see a few TIE fighters fly above.
"Name?" the pretty young woman said from behind the desk
"Hi there, my name is Xam, i am here to start my training"
"Through the door to my left, once you enter please go into booth six to meet your tutor" she replies with the sound of boredom in her voice.
'she must do this a lot' Xam thinks to himself. "Thank you, say what time do you finish here perhaps we could go..."
"Next!" the woman shouts and Xam is pushed out of the way.
He walks toward the door to the left of the desk and sees the plaque which reads "Please go to the room specified at the desk." Determined not to mess up he walks through the door into a long corridor with maybe 50 rooms along each wall. He walks to the door withe the number 6 on it,
"Come in," the voice calls
He enters the room, stands to attention and salutes the officer behind the desk, "Crewman Xam, Reporting in, Sir"

Hello there, Crewman. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Tech Officer Blue-Leader, I, along with the Operation Team (C-3PX2, Ibram Tyrol, and StOrMz) will be guiding you through your training. We will be helping you through Basic Training, commonly calledFlight School, FS, BT, or the Academy]. Flight School is composed into three chapters, Chapter One: Character Development, Chapter Two: Pilot Procedure, Chapter Three: The Squadron, and last but not least, the Aviator's Exam. Once you have finished and been passed on these Chapters we will place you into one of the active squadrons. Lets start with the basics - Chapter One. You need to make a biography for your character (Good examples are Jegora Fal's and Ibram Tyrol's Biographies.) Once you have finished your biography you may post it on this topic. But remember - your biography is only a rough sketch of your character and should be expanded when given the time. If you have any questions, catch any member of the staff around IRC or send them a PM (Personal Message). Now, if you have any questions, or if you want to meet any of our other members you can hop onto IRC (Internet Relay Chat), or you may send any member of the staff a PM (Personal Message). There are many other communications methods for reaching the staff in that page as well. Once you have finished Basic Training, you shall be placed into one of the active squadrons. Catch you around sometime.

Xam is a 20 year old male. He stands at only 5'6", people tend to call him a Jawa because he is so short. His hair is short, but never without some form of gel. He has a stubble on his chin because he cant often be bothered to shave completely (its too much of a chore to have to do it every day). He isn't very muscular, but is extremely fit due to a lot of running and cycling. His eyes are an odd combination, one being green and the other blue. Xam is very determined to be the best and will take a beating to get the job done, just like his father would have before he died.
Xam was born on Tatooine, where as a boy he would go out and play with travelers when they showed up. As a boy he was very out going and enjoyed the company of people and aliens alike. When he was 9 his mother, father and older brother were all killed when a group of Tusken Raiders raised his home town of Mos Eisley.
About two weeks later he mat a young man name Yar 'Tak Ull. Ull offered him work on his ship, to travel the galaxy until he can make his decision on what he wanted to do later on in life. for the next 11 years he stayed with Ull and had visited the most of the Outer Rim.
Until one day, Ull's starship was attacked by a squadron of Rebel Alliance Y-wings. A shot to the weapons had Yar 'Tak Ull leave the cockpit to preform repairs, leaving Xam to pilot. The weapon systems took another shot, destroying the weapons and the lower rear of the ship, and Yar 'Tak Ull along with.
For the second time in his life he had lost someone that meant a lot to him. He engaged the hyperdrive not knowing where he would end up.
Three weeks later and coming to the end of his food supply, he emerged from hyperspace a the planet Coruscant, where he had to make an emergency landing in the centre of the global city. He was greeted be six troopes all pointing blasters at his head. after telling his story to the law enforcement captain he was released.
With no ship, and no way to get off this planet he sought work, the type of work that would have him traveling again. This is when he enlisted into the Galactic Empire.
Because of events in his past Xam is extremely shy and likes to keep to his own company. He prefers solo work, but will work as part of a team if the job requires it. When he does get to know people the soon realize that he isn't the stuck up man they thought he was. he likes to spend time with his small group of friends and go to the cantina and have a few drinks, before heading back to his apartment to sleep off the night.

My first maneuver is The Immelman.For this example I will be using the TIE Interceptor.This is used to increase the ships altitude and change the direction. I would do this maneuver is i could see that one of my sqn are in trouble. Firstly I would check my airspeed, making sure that I am going fast enough to pull it off. Once that has been checked i would pull back hard on the control column to face the nose directly up. while climbing vertically i would make a 180 degree roll and then push on the column forward to put my self into level flight facing in the opposite direction at a higher altitude. The next i will demonstrate is The Break Turn.Again I will be piloting the TIE Interceptor.This maneuver is used to get a sharper turn in the hope that you will lose your enemy. To perform this I will first work out how close my enemy is to gauge how soon I should turn. I would then roll the ship 90 degrees and pull back hard on the control column thus making my turn sharp and throwing the enemy off my scent, at least for enough time for me to regroup with my sqn and have another go at shooting him down.

Hey, I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while but I have had a lot on my mind with things at home. I should be able to post more regularly as of now.
Also, I was looking through the Wiki page on the posts and am a bit confused as to where and what I have to post. Could you please help?

I'm not sure what I have to do for chapter 3, could you help?
I think I may have been reading the wrong page on Wiki so could you also post the link that I should be using?

Since I began my training I have, written a brief history about my character, made posts in my thread for training. I have also learned how to write about some of the maneuvers that I can use in my story posts in the future. My first post was the beginning of of my characters story.
