Shipwreck
grew up in the shadow of the Navy, specifically the shadow of the
sprawling San Diego Navy Yards. He enlisted at the youngest possible
age with his parents' permission and proceeded to serve with
distinction in the Mekong Delta where hand to hand fighting with
river pirates, smugglers, and insurgents was the order of the day.
Put in time at "Gitmo" and Yokosuka and was on hand at
certain carrier-initiated operations in the Middle East.
Graduated
Naval Gunnery School Great Lakes. Qualified expert: M-16, M-14,
Browning .50 cal., 20mm Cerliken AA gun, M1911A1.
"Shipwreck
is your quintessential sailor. He can splice a line, fry powdered
eggs in the tooth of a gale and eat them, tell taller tales than a
Senate Appropriations committee and take a three day liberty in
Thule, Greenland and come back smiling."
Having grown up amidst the immense naval shipyards in San Diego, Hector always knew he wanted to be a sailor - and, with his parents' permission, signed up with the Navy at the earliest possible age. He then proceeded to serve with distinction, regularly routing Mekong river pirates and other unsavory types. It was during this time that Hector apparently acquired (or met up with, at least) his infamous parrot, Polly. This exceptional, green and orange parrot is much smarter than your average bird, being capable of actual speech, not to mention singing, rhyming, and of course, being a general pain in the butt.
Of course, the goofy animal is a perfect foil for Hector, and when one isn't getting the pair in trouble of some sort, the other is usually up to something. Hector and Polly are pretty much inseparable, and the duo has had all kinds of adventures together - even if they sound like they hate each other sometimes. Anyway, after a few years of dealing with all manner of smugglers, insurgents, and other naval hassles, Hector went on to serve at Yokosuma, and was involved in various carrier-initiated military actions in the Middle East. Year after year of outstanding performance got him noticed by his superiors, however.
This landed Hector a spot on the G.I. Joe team, who was rather short on Naval personnel at the time, and Hector fit right in - what with his rather unique, distinctive personality. He often worked with Cutter, Torpedo, Deep Six, and (later) Wet Suit in Joe naval operations, being a vital member of these missions. Though he proved himself as an effective Joe time and time again, Hector apparently felt that his skills weren't enough, and after a few years, went ahead and put himself through Navy S.E.A.L. training. One of the most intense military training regimens in the world, S.E.A.L. training really got Hector in shape. It didn't change him any, of course, as he's still the salty dog he's always been - he's just a lot better at what he does - that being just about any activity involving water. In fact, Hector was instrumental to an innumerable number of Joe operations, and continued to be that way until the team was disbanded.
