Character flesh out

[Rhyus]

Hey all. I'm new here. It has been a long time since I played Twilight 2000. I'm currently playing a Morrow Project game and I'm trying to find a way to flesh out my character's background. After all, he served in the Marines for 16 years (1997-2013) before he was frozen and went to sleep for 152 years. I want to get a background for him, but don't want to get too over the top for the character by just making one up or being too stingy with it and not making him the kind of special that was needed for the selection process. I was wondering if there was anything out there that could help with creating a background. I know Traveller had a random generation for history for each character. I know there were books out there in the past for fantasy games that you could flesh out your character in a big way. Is there anything out there for modern history generation and preferably military generation?

I know there is a Morrow Project section on here, but some people that might be able to help might not visit that section of the forums, so I thought I would post it here as well as in there.
