Alison Hart-Burnett

Specialized Military Training

## Background

### 1988 - 2006: Alison Hart-Burnett

Alison Hart-Burnett was born in Martha's Vineyard to Colonel Steven Burnett & his wife Janette Hart. Unfortunately, her mother did not survive childbirth, leaving Alison alone with her father. And this would have been perfectly fine... if she was a boy. Her father had no interest in raising a daughter as he specifically wanted a son so that they could carry on his family's three generations of military tradition. Motivated by her father's annoyance with her existence, Alison decided to prove him wrong.

### 2006 - 2016: Alison Hart-Burnett

Earning herself a full scholarship, Alison was enrolled in a prep school where she took many acting classes & learned several languages. After graduating from high school, she enrolled at West Point. It was clear to anyone there that Alison had a hard work ethic as she continued to earn high marks in all her training. Upon graduating, she earned herself a place in the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant. After doing some training at the U.S. Army Intelligence School in Fort Holabird to become a covert operations expert, she was promoted to First Lieutenant.

Alison continued to work hard, wanting to prove to her father that woman could be the army. But her goal more than anything was to rise high enough to outrank him. Unfortunately her father passed away just a few years later, leaving her bitter about not having earned his final acknowledgement. But this did not sway her motivation as she continued to rise through the ranks. Shortly after reaching the rank of Captain, Alison was recruited onto the Joe Team as their Covert Operations Specialist.

## Personality

Alison is described as tough, scrappy & "one of the guys." This is mostly is due to her father's desire of wanting a son over a daughter & making no secret about it. Because of this, she is also eager to prove herself which can sometimes cause her to act impulsively.
