Name: Jordan O'Neil

Age: 43- 3rd December 1969

RANK: Captain USN (SEALS)

POSITION: CO Atlantis Recon Team 2

APPEARANCE: 5’5” tall, slim, fair to light olive complexion, dark brown hair, green/hazel. Approx 125lbs

PERSONALITY: Quietly spoken, disciplined to a fault and she knows what she wants and how to get it, through the right channels. Jordan is one of those types of service personnel who would rather send themselves up for report, than break any code of conduct. She can though have her moments of light hearted humour; but get under her skin and she can be brutal.

ATA gene: Successful Gene therapy

HISTORY: Born in Roswell, New Mexico, Jordan is an only child. She had a rather mixed past as her father being a long term career Naval officer had the family constantly on the move; rarely settling in any one place for more than a couple of years. By the time Jordan graduated high school, she naturally followed in her father’s footsteps as was expected of her.

Well into her naval career at the tender age of 25, a Senate Armed Services Committee interviews a candidate for the position of Secretary of the Navy. Senator Lillian DeHaven from Texas criticizes the Navy for not being gender-neutral. Behind the curtains, a deal is struck: If women compare favorably with men in a series of test cases, the military will integrate women fully into all branches of the Navy.

The first test is the training course of the U.S. Navy Combined Reconnaissance Team . Senator DeHaven hand-picks topographical analyst Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil , because she is physically more feminine than the other candidates.

To make the grade, O'Neil must survive a grueling selection program in which almost 60 percent of all candidates wash out, most in the first week ("hell week"). The enigmatic Command Master Chief John James Urgayle runs the brutal training program that involves 20-hour days of tasks designed to wear down recruits' physical and mental strength, including pushing giant ship fenders up beach dunes, working through obstacle courses, and hauling landing rafts.

Given a 30-second time allowance in an obstacle course, O'Neil demands to be held to the same standards as the male trainees. Eight weeks into the program, during SERE training, the Master Chief ties her to a chair with her hands behind her back. Then he grabs hold of O'Neil and slams her through the door and then he grabs her from the floor she fell on. And then he dunks her head in ice cold water repeatedly in front of the other crew members. O'Neil fights back, and is successful in causing him some injury despite her immobilized arms. In so doing, she acquires respect from him, as well as from the other trainees.

Navy leaders, confident that a woman would quickly drop out, become concerned. Civilian media learn of O'Neil's involvement, and she becomes a sensation known as "G.I. Jane." Soon she must contend with trumped up charges that she is a lesbian, and is fraternizing with women. O'Neil is told that she will be given a desk job during the investigation and, if cleared, will need to repeat her training. She decides to "ring out" (ringing a bell three times, signaling her voluntary withdrawal from the program) rather than accept a desk job.

It is later revealed that the photo evidence of O'Neil's alleged fraternization came from Senator DeHaven's office. DeHaven never intended for O'Neil to succeed; she used O'Neil as a bargaining chip to prevent military base closings in her home state (Texas). O'Neil threatens to expose DeHaven, who then has the charges voided and O'Neil restored to the program.

The final phase of training, an operational readiness exercise, is interrupted by an emergency situation that requires the CRT trainees' support. The situation involves a reconnaissance satellite powered by weapons-grade plutonium that fell into the Libyan desert. A team of U.S. Army Rangers is dispatched to retrieve the plutonium, but their evacuation plan fails, and the trainees are sent to assist the Rangers. The Master Chief's shooting of a Libyan soldier to protect O'Neil leads to a confrontation with a Libyan patrol. During the mission, O'Neil, using her experience as a topographical analyst, realizes when she sees the team's map that the Master Chief is not going to use the route the others believe he will in regrouping with the others. She also displays a definitive ability in leadership and strategy while rescuing the injured Master Chief, whom she and McCool pull out of an explosives-laden "kill zone." With helicopter gunships delivering the final assault to the defenders, the rescue mission on the Libyan coast is a success.

Upon their return, all those who participated in the mission are accepted to the CRT. Urgayle gives O'Neil his Navy Cross and a book of poetry containing a short poem, "Self-pity", by D. H. Lawrence, as acknowledgment of her accomplishment and in gratitude for rescuing him.

SGC History:

In late 2008 Jordan was approached by General Jack O'Neill after he had been following Jordan's career closely from afar. More so because of the shared similarity of last names. He was quoted as saying if she can carry that moniker around, she must be a bad *ss. He was impressed with her file. Simply, the IOA was moving forward with a plan to mine the alpa site and given the military/civilian bad blood that had been created, Jack and the Pentagon wanted to ensure they had control.

Knowing a civilian supervisor was needed in situ, but one with extensive military service would be at the top of the IOA's list, Jordan was asked to take a voluntary early retirement. Basically it was sham. She was handed the job on a silver platter and after almost three years in the job, was able to cede control back to the SGC. In February of this year (2011) Jordan took up her Naval rank again, inserted as temporary XO of the Alpha site. In August she was asked by Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard if she was available to take on a Recon team out of Atlantis. With the new CO of the Alpha Site's blessing (Colonel Paul Davis), Jordan accepted. As this file goes into the logs, Jordan is now finding her way there to Pegasus.
Promoted to Captain (Navy) June 14th 2011.
