== Personality ==
Sheperd has a laid back persona being very open and outgoing when getting along with fellow marines in service. With responsibility however this persona switches fast to a disciplined and mature soldier knowing when to cut the chatter during combat and on duty operations. He retains a caring personality for enlisted not wanting to see one be driven out of the corps for a petty reason that can be corrected, calling out to enlisted first before other NCOs or COs to fix their mistakes before making a grave mistake that ends their career as a marine. This extends to NCOs aswell having them quickly correct themselves before being caught and disciplined for incorrect actions showing one of the most laid back of NCOs. While off duty among enlisted he has real talks among them to let them think about for the future in and outside of their service as a marine.

However records have shown the young marine to have been in service since 2183. Multiple counts of previous records shown the young enlisted having been around during ImperialBlood's rise, givingup2's beginning in the marines, and to the early deployments of BG-233 in 2184.
=== Service of 2187 ===
During a routine patrol of Haven, Sheperd became under the command of Givingup2 for the majority of his early career during the year of 2187. Patrols at Haven were a frequent for Sheperd as deployment to BG-233 was still void of any need to be deployed. With his early years Sheperd became familiar with the many marines who have fought throughout the years who would later become SNCOs in the present including Echo4890, NovaCypher, TostquitosYTaquitos, BlockMarine6, Rexguardian and etc

=== Return to Service 2190 ===
During the fall of 2190 Sheperd had returned to active duty by July 19th of 2190. Having been gone for a year and 2 months he had been put back into Recruit to work back from scratch. Having already been seasoned as a marine, his service continues with pure dedication as usual before his leave. Sheperd's return to service sent him to Charlie Company, but at his request transferred to Bravo Company.

=== First Red Wolves Engagement ===
While inspecting activity of Arachthos on October 13th of 2190, Sheperd was one of the two marines to warn of a huge presence of Unknown that began showing on the planet's surface. With the emergence of this invading Unknown force Sheperd had began calling nearby marines within communication range to sound a warning where as the handful that had arrived first were beginning multiple engagements against the threat. It was by then the enemy force known as the Red Wolves came to bout 20 men before the marines arrived with the same number to begin the official defense of Arachthos. After assembling fireteams among the important locations for the defense, SGT Sheperd led a force to hold both Left and Right Ridge engaging multiple enemies attempting to flank the positions of CC.
Wielding his Marksmen loadout Sheperd had knocked many enemies down along with his fireteam holding the falnk from falling along with SPECFOR holding Right Ridge aswell. Multiple firefights throughout Left Ridge emerged as the defense raged with the SGT having been flanked multiple times by counter snipers only for them to fall to his aim and knife. Slowly with each firefight the enemy forces began to dwindle in numbers before finally calling a surrender to the USCMC.
=== Second Red Wolves Engagement ===
On October 21st of 2190, with reports of multiple unknown activity on Arachthos, SGT. Sheperd had deployed to find that the Red Wolves had returned once more for another fight. With this, all available marines were deployed to Archthos to form squads once again to push out the invaders. Once again Sheperd had been tasked with holding Left Ridge holding back any enemy flankings within the area. With about 19 Marines and only 16 Red Wolves the fight was the same as almost a week ago of the first engagement albeit easier. Red Wolves had began to stick together in the early stages of combat before slowly moving individually making them easier targets to take out.
Once again equipped with his Marksmen loadout Sheperd and his squad held Left Ridge with good firefights between them and the wolves who attempted to push Left Ridge. The numbers of the enemy began to dwindle as they did the first time, but instead fought to the end of the time before pulling out taking defeat by fighting to the very last man.
=== Operations Of Late 2190 ===
With activity being recently low, SGT Shep has hosted multiple sparrings keeping marines in shape with one another with no enemy to fight. By the first week of December patrols hosted by Shep have been done to increase survival rates of looping around Arachthos aswell as tactical uses of vehicles to exterminate swarms and egg clusters.

=== New Year 2191 ===
With the passing of the year 2190, a promotion ceremony was conducted on the 1st of January 2191 to award marines that showed commitment and great promise to the corps. As of that day Sheperd himself was promoted to Gunnery Sergeant reaching the status he had once had and officially an SNCO to continue his services to the corps.
=== Colonial Downtime ===
During time off with CPL 12Jacob89, GSGT Sheperd had conceived and idea to create a platform where enlisted could really feel connected and part of the marines while also having a place to enjoy talking to fellow marines. This would turn into the Colonial Downtime podcast with GSGT WynnCraftMod and GSGT Sheperd as the main hosts, audio recorders, and editors of it. First recording session had been done by 3/27/2021 after a good period of changing recording session times and changing of enlisted guest. However the idea was kept to the low until the 1st Pilot was made to bring to COMM ImperialBlood himself to see if the idea was able to move on. With the upload made the next day on the 28th and sent to the Commandant, the idea was approved and now begins a bi-weekly schedule with cycle switching of NCO and Enlisted guests.
