Wolfe was an able student who got along well with his fellow cadets. He studied largely in the tactical stream and spent a good deal of time looking for ways to blend great air and land battles of the past into starship combat. Through these studies, Wolfe was chosen to as an aide to the tactical department and aided in rewriting several simulations for [[Starfleet Academy]]. Wolfe wanted to be involved with Strategic Operations from the start, but knew that it was a highly difficult field to break into. To get a 'leg up' Wolfe aided in programming and planning tactical simulations for lower year cadets. This would eventually lead to advanced standing in his tactical courses and for placement on the USS Alexander.

*''First Year'': Edward saw a rather undistinguished First Year at the Academy. Feeling out of place on [[Earth]] and overwhelmed by his studies. Slowly, Edward became used to his surroundings and began to 'fit in', despite the fact that many people native to Earth saw him being as a 'backwards colonial'. His high grades in tactical and security measures changed many of their minds. Edward soon became romantically involved to Lena Markoff, also in her first year.

*''Second Year'': Edward began to gain more academic and social recognition. As being a student to actually 'survive' the first year, he had won some measure of respect. Edward is chosen to be part of a special presidential detail for the installation ceremony of a new ambassador from a newly admitted planet to the Federation. The romantic involvement with Lena Markoff continued and intensified, despite the fact that she has applied for deep space cadet training on the USS Triton. This caused some friction between the couple, but in the end Edward conceded that this would be an excellent opportunity for Lena's career. As a result, he decided to drop his resistance and told her he'd wait for her.

*''Third Year'': This was a bittersweet year for Edward as he bid Lena Markoff fairwell on her two year training mission on the USS Triton. She would complete her cadet training onboard. Edward was also offered a place, however there was no Strategic Operations position needed or available, which Edward believed would limit his future. Instead, Edward accepted a position as lead strategic cadet in the tactical department, spending most of his year aiding the instructors of this department in addition to completing his third year studies. The added responsibilities aided Edward in dealing with Lena leaving, but for the year he had little free time.

*''Fourth Year'': Edward's final year in the Academy was one of serious study and hard work. Edward knew that he would be offered his first position based on this final year and that it would be important for him to make a good impression. He continued his work on tactical simulations for the newer cadets, as well as other responsibilities in terms of aiding instructors. It was this year the Edward honed his skills with various weapons, such as bladed ones. Edward graduated with distinction.
