==Background Information==
Johnson is a year old black male from Liberty City. He grew up with both his parents and had a very good childhood. His father was very strict on him as a child, always teaching him that a man is supposed to be head of the household and always supposed to take responsibility for the family. His mother, Sheila, was a sweet loving person who always taught Greg to show sympathy to those who are lost. He always had good grades and no problems in school. He spent most of his childhood working with his father at home on the farm.
At a young age, he knew how to milk cows, slaughter pigs, and grow corn in the fields. He didn't have much time to spend with the other kids in his community as his father always made sure he came straight home and worked on the farm. Greg didn't mind spending most of his time with his family because he always got along with his parents and did what they told him to do. Greg was unlike most kids growing up, he had an early sense for responsibility, most would say he got it from his father for always preaching to him that you can walk a thirsty horse to a lake but you cannot teach it to drink the water. As Greg grew older and the years went by he began to listen to the radio while working out on the farm and began to teach himself how to dance to music. Greg's favorite group was The Temptations and his favorite song by them was "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." You see Gregory in his spare while his father would wander off with the cows, would sing out loud that very tune and begin to dance just a little. That is what Greg did in his early teenage years.
Upon graduating from high school at the age of 17, Greg enlisted into the U.S Army. His job was infantry and Greg had to overcome a lot of his fears such as drowning and having to take a person's life while being in service. Basic training was a very hard challenge for Greg and it was not easy at all for him. Even though Greg had spent most of his time working in the field with his father, the physical training the military put Greg through almost broke him. Many nights Greg cried himself to sleep due to the intense training the military was putting him through, at one point he almost quit, that is until he remembered that his father told him to never quit on anything because you never know what is on the other side of that goal. Greg put forth his best effort and did not quit even when it came swimming in a 30ft deep pool. At times Greg felt as if he was going to quit but he believed in himself and told himself that he did not come this far to turn around now. The thing that pushed Greg the most was looking his father in the eyes and explaining to him that he quit. Greg snapped himself into gear and began to push through all of the training.
Upon graduating basic training and AIT, Greg was deployed to IRAQ and his mission was to save a group of people at a small village north of his base. The night before the mission Greg's battle buddies started doing morphine to get high and asked Greg to join but Greg declined and told the men to stay focused on the mission. The morning of the mission comes and Greg's battles are still hung over from the drugs and the enemy ends up attacking their home base. A 105mm explosive was sent in the air of Greg's base and blew it up. At the same time of the explosion enemy forces began to invade Greg's base shooting and killing soldiers. Greg tried to get his battle buddies to safety but the majority of them were too high off the drugs to even move. Greg went into a shell shock mode where his ears began to ring and he couldn't move, thus he suffered a gunshot wound and from that shot Greg snapped out of his shell shock mode and began to run for cover. The enemy forces began to move closer to Greg's location killing many of the people he deployed with. Greg found a foxhole and buried himself inside and began to scream and cry for help. As the enemy forces moved closer and closer to Greg's location, a huge mortar round blew up in the middle of the enemy forces. A quick reaction team came in just in time to save what was left of Greg's base. After the reaction team cleared all of the enemies out of the area, only Greg was left standing from his base. The men grabbed Greg out of the foxhole and took him to safety. From that day on Greg was never the same, he had constant nightmares about the screams and explosions he had heard. Greg was ultimately upset and couldn't understand why his battle buddies decided to get high the day before an attack and swore to himself that he would always do the right thing and never let anything distract him from his missions in life. Greg stayed in the army for another 20 years and was medically put as a Sergeant Major which is the highest rank in the enlisted corp. Doctors stated that Greg had been through too much trauma with his military experience of war. They stated greg had a mild case of PTSD, but greg tried his hardest to fight to stay in the service because he felt like he would not amount to anything as a civilian and all that he knows is being a soldier. His higher ups made the decision to release Greg from his active-duty contract. Once Greg was released from the army, he flew back to Liberty City and tried becoming a police officer for the LCPD.
Since Greg had military experience, he was quickly hired and rushed through training because of his leadership skills. Greg showed perfect marksmanship qualifying at the top of his class. When it came down to his physical readiness, he passed the test for a man of his age and even aced the written exam for officers with 98 score. Greg also met a guy named James Francis who reminded him of himself. James and Greg did everything in the police academy together, if Greg overslept James would wake him up and if James didn't have money for food Greg would always look out for him. They love to compete against each other in drill ceremonies and would always love to see which one could do more pushups than the other. Greg and James both successfully passed and graduated from the police academy but James was sent to Los Venturas MRPD and greg was stationed at the 75th LCPD. Greg was thrilled he was back and uniform, but he didn't realize the times have changed since he has been in the civilian world. Greg doesn't know what an iPhone is nor doesn't know what TikTok is either. Greg began to struggle with the younger generation's music and choices of world. Later that week greg was in a traffic stop with a young male and the male stated he "got that fye in the car," Greg ended up calling in a bomb squad confused that the male was saying he had a good speaker system inside his car. Greg felt embarrassed that he did not understand what the male was trying to say. To make matters even worse, Greg tried to go out to a club one night for a fun night and when he tried to go on stage and sing the temptations "ain't too proud to beg" the crowd was completely silent, and he just dropped the microphone and ran out of the club. Greg felt as if he was completely out of sync with the newer generation and needed to find a way to connect. He went to work the next day and found a young patrolman by the name of Daniel Hernandez. He approached Daniel and asked if he could ride along with him that day and Daniel accepted. Daniel and Greg became close, and Daniel began to teach Greg how the younger generation acts and speaks. Greg started to get the hang of things with the younger generation and even started a youth basketball team called the temptations and they won the city's all state tournaments. Greg felt as if everything in his life was going perfect, that is until one night while he was alone watching tv, he saw an ad on tv that stated "are you lonely, are you looking for love? Come on down los santos and find the love of your life."
Greg began to think to himself that he has gotten everything but a wife and a family. He began to do research about los santos and even looked up their police department roster and saw that they had a pretty good department. He was so excited to see such a structured department, so he talked to his captain about being transferred to the los santos police department and the captain advised Johnson if he wanted to do so he would have to quit the LCPD because they do not allow transfers. Johnson argued with his captains about putting in a good word for him so that he could pursue his dreams but the captain would not agree to transfer johnson. Johnson had a long thought about it and decided to quit the LCPD and to pursue his dream as a police officer in los santos. Little did he know that being a civilian was going to be much harder than he expected. Gregory bought a first class ticket to the city of los santos the next day and took his flight. So will Greg become an officer here in Los Santos or will he quit his dreams of becoming a cop and become a singer. Or will Greg do neither and become a homeless man in the city of los santos sobering in a dark depression from not achieving his goal. Or will he find true love within the city? 
This is the story of the great Gregory M. Johnson.
