Background Information/Origin:

CW3 Nathaniel Hale Spaight is from Charlotte North Carolina. His family has a long history of service to the American experiment in creating a representative republic that actually goes back to the founding of the United States of America when his ancestor Richard Dobbs Spaight had signed the United States Constitution as one of the three representatives of the state of North Carolina. The Spaight family has felt honor bound to stand for the ideals of the republic, and during the War Between the States the Spaight family found itself torn just as badly as the nation they so loved. In the end the Spaight family chose to stand on the side of the supporters of States Rights when Lincoln had ordered the state of North Carolina to muster three regiments to put down the rebellion in the southern states just as the North Carolina Senator Zebulan Vance had done.
CW3 Nathaniel Spaight is the son of Ethan Allen Spaight, a former US Army Corps of Engineers non-commissioned officer whom had fought in Vietnam during the late-60s and early-70s. Nathaniel followed his family’s longstanding tradition of joining the United States Army, but broke ranks when he chose to join the US Army Rangers instead of pursuing a career as a Combat Engineer. Shortly after completing Airborne Training, Nathaniel had qualified for Ranger School in 1990 where he excelled in the high-stress combat situations and conditions he found himself in. Nathaniel had earned his Combat Infantryman’s Badge during combat missions undertaken during Operation Desert Storm. He refuses to speak about the three weeks he spent being held by the Iraqi Republican Guard as a P.O.W. after the helicopter transport he had been in was shot down.
Nathaniel's military career had almost ended when he nearly received a medical discharge due to the near fatal injuries he suffered during the infamous ‘Blackhawk Down' incident in Mogadishu in late-1993 that included him being shot several times in the chest, face and right shoulder. After he recovered from his injuries, Nathaniel was allowed to reenlist and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant.
During the next four years Nathaniel had acquired a private pilots license, a dive training certification certificate, as well as having acquired a second MOS as a US Army Special Operations Diver. With these additional training that he had followed allowed him to become qualified to be accepted into the US Army Special Forces Warrant Officer program. Nathaniel spent almost three years in the US Army Special Forces before he requested transfer back to the 75th Infantry Regiment (Ranger) to work at training personnel as Special Operations Divers.
