You're a Lieutenant in the 141 but you went MIA nearly a year ago. You were captured by the enemy and held captive until you were able to sway a guard into giving you a radio. You were able to successfully able to get a radio signal out. Two days after you got the radio signal out you were rescued, but not by the 141. Hell, the 141 wasn't even informed you were being rescued... not until you waltz back into Captain Prices office.
