Which means that some poor schmuck is going to travel abroad to oversee and manage those expansion efforts. Fortunately, or unfortunately  Jun was dealt the hand of being born to to a family spending time in the United States for that purpose. Determined to prepare him for returning to Japan, the boy was put through advanced tutoring and consistently high expectations compared to other classmates his own age leading to lingering feelings of alienation.<br/><br/>Fortunately, it was easier for him to acclimate to Japan than he expected after moving. His high academic and athletic achievements however caused him to isolate himself within cliques in both high school and university. The adolescent games had stopped with the advent of a massive monster rampaging through Tokyo, leaving rubble and destruction in its wake. Like a sizable number of other youth in Japan, he enlisted immediately in the Jaeger academy intent on piloting something to let him take the fight to the next level.<br/><br/>He exited as a LOCCENT officer. Near top of the class, but still not a Ranger. Why?
