Quit to join the Jaeger Academy.<br/><br/><strong>Other skills:</strong><br/>- Easy to cooperate with.<br/>- Happy to travel.<br/>- Despite that, progress in Japanese is slow.<br/><br/><strong>General Backstory:</strong><br/><br/>House Chatham had boasted a long line of distinguished military service, proudly churning out all-American heroes reliably every generation. So it is with dismay Grandpa Chatham greeted the news that his kid moved his family to Canada because of an excellent job offer. That done and over with, Ray grew up with his older cousins speaking of enlistment after high-school or his younger cousins idolizing the idea of enlistment after high-school.<br/><br/>He had his own plans, demonstrated by the dedication put forth by him and other like-minded individuals at excelling in the sports of basketball. Despite being a less-than-stellar shot, his objective-driven supportive play-style collaborated successfully to drive their team to the nationals. Although they eventually lost to a more established, experienced school, Ray still came out with a scholarship to show for his efforts. It was during the pursuit of his higher education that the alien, hazy threat of Kaiju hit too close to home. Karloff's onslaught on Vancouver was caught by every single camera that remained functional in the city, along with Brawler Yukon's destructive debut. It wasn't something he could look away from.<br/><br/>Despite having everything that he could ask for with the safety of himself and his parents, Ray began giving serious thought to military service.  He found himself as number #23 on the day and place where the Pan-Pacific Defense Corps began recruiting for pilots.
