And I will stand for my dream if I can,
Symbol of my faith in who I am,

Personality: A relaxed and easy going exterior that is backed up by the competence and skill built up over years of active service. Not one to blow his own trumpet and described by one superior as a poster boy enlisted man, James is content being the rock in the middle of a unit, a die-hard team player who welcomes all enlisted, officer or civilian alike as long as they pull their weight. His only real pet peeve is those who seek their own advantage ahead of the units or who put themselves above others because of some gift they might have.
And I must follow on the road that lies ahead,
I won't let my heart control my head,
I won't let my heart control my head,

History: Born on 4/5/1967 in Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington to Johnal and Marie Calmara, both of whom worked at the Emerald Queen Casino as a croupie's. As an only child James was raised on part of the Puyallup Indian Reservation, though this area is heavily urbanized and highly commercialized, both his parents held on to their heritage and did their best to pass this on to James, he was schooled at Chief Leschi School where he showed an ability in Mathematics and Metalworking, when he was approaching school leaving age, he was looking to go into an engineering field when the military, specifically the USAF, was running recruitment campaign for all areas he signed up out of curiosity, for an engineer post.
Assigned to a search and rescue squadron, a tour in both Bosnia and Kosovo followed along with several periods of readiness Moody AFB was designated a recover station for the space shuttle. His competence and willingness to be a team player brought him to the attention of the stargate program. An offer was made to participate in a top secret project and several years followed developing the X-302, which lead to postings on earths first interstellar battlecrusier, the Prometheus, as part of its fighter deck crew.
He was part way though a stint on the Daedalus, when an offer to join the delta expedition came his way, he accepted and three years of highs and lows followed, as the expedition established a permanent presence in the de4alin galaxy and fought hard battles against the Olympians, who lorded it over the rest of the galaxy. Only when the expedition managed to rally and form longstanding alliances with key races in the galaxy were the Olympians pushed back.

Every ounce of me must see it through,
Every ounce of me must see it through,

Asphodel
The reaction of Commander Garcia showed he was unimpressed to say the least, with SD-2’s choice off temporary allies. Particular when he grabbed Oxford by the collar and backed him against the nearest tree, Calmara’s instincts were to raise his rifle. But he ignored those instincts and kept it down for the moment, any action like that on his part would only make things worse. He waited for Oxford to be given a chance to explain himself and then added in “Add to that the two-hundred plus people on board the Iliad stuck in orbit for no apparent reason depending on us for answers.” backing up his earlier promised to back his CO up when the difficult questions were asked about there decision to ally with the titans.
Unfortunately the exchange attracted some unwanted attention, a number energy bolts flew overhead and through the small group, none were on target but still to close for comfort. Calmara yelled COVER then spun round. Squeezed his rifle trigger while sweeping it across the area the energy bolts were coming from. With the familiar click as the ammo clip ended. He dropped down and swapped out the spent clip for a full one. Checking around for their quickest and safest route to the rally point, identifying a possible Calmara reaffirmed the need to get moving. “Sirs we need to get moving! Looks like heading this way might be our best route.” he indicted a direction with a discreet hand movement “How about we take centre then you can keep eye on us and make sure we don’t lead you into an ambush, if you still feel the need.” He suggested to Garcia and Ashwood. Calmara was keen to make any gesture that would help regain the trust between the teams that understandably seemed to be wavering at this point.

As they moved off towards the rally point the frequent strafing runs by the pair of 302’s kept most of the heat of them greatly aided there withdraw. Any Olympians who took interest in and tried to prevent there withdraw were taken care of by the fire and manoeuvre routine. Coming up on the clearing the three X305’s hovering feet from the ground came into view, but for the lack of a rotor blade, it was still an all to familiar sight a rescue ship hovering above the ground. As they closed in so did the ring of marines and air force SF’s providing a perimeter. Calmara picked up his pace to make the safety of the that perimeter. Once there he located his teammates they’d had to separate from and did a quick head count. “Hey guys and girls fancy meeting you here, you all made it back in one piece I see. All of SD-2 plus one accounted for Major." He made for Farrow intending on making a prospective ally welcome. "Hey buddy, thanks for the support back there, with all the action didn't get your name. I'm James Calmara US Air Force"
