James's mother then did a stint as the Master Chief Petty Officer of Starfleet. James's mother retired from Starfleet after a forty-two year career.
James did not want to follow in his mother's footsteps and instead of joining Starfleet he decided to attend the University of Oklahoma where he eventually graduated at the top of his class with a Zoology degree. James later finished his doctorate at the University of Oklahoma, but decided that he did want to join Starfleet, as an officer.
