Akash was born on Hupa (B210100-D), a nearly airless rock whose only redeeming feature is its position on a junction of the space lanes.The system has both a Naval base and a Scout base. Although it has a gas giant (Oppo), it is very active, so the bases were built over Hupa. There are no inhabitants on the surface of Hupa. The locals are all port personal and their families. 

Akash was raised in the Navy base. His father disapproved when Akash went to
 the military academy. Although he didn't graduate, he was drafted to the Marines.

On his first term in the Marines his commanding officer (Vrisini Chimay) took
 an interest in him, and Akash made it to Lance Corporal.

On his second term, Akash was involved in an operation on Sutekh, when his
platoon lost its commanding officer Akash took initiative and led his comrades to safety under heavy fire. For his bravery and initiative he got a medal and a commission. During that deployment, he met Anchita, a higher ranking Navy officer, and got involved with her. They managed to keep it secret.

On his third term, Akash was involved in a disastrous mission on Minaii, where his
 commanding officer (Shodhar Harris) made a mistake that cost the live of  five men. Akash stuck by his commanding officer. In the evacuation from Minaii, he met Mukul (a Navy engineering officer), they got along swell on the range aboard the ship.

On his fourth term, Akash took medic training. He was severely injured on a
 mission and honorably discharged. The Marines covered most of the expensive rehabilitation, and he got an advanced shooting course.

P.S.

I'm using Certifications of Starship Crew by "The Great dungeon of the North".
