Personal History Growing up on Alpha III, Christopher also known to family as CJ grew up hearing about his great grandfather, grandmother and various cousins who served or currently serving in Starfleet. His mother LeAnn Jones grew up with her own mother in Starfleet and felt that it ruined the relationship between them due to her always being off to some assignment across Federation space. LeAnn had married Christopher Jennings and settled on Alpha III a few years before CJ was born. While his mother worked as an engineer, his father worked as a shuttle pilot back and forth across the planet. This is where Christopher first developed his love of piloting a craft.

After graduating highschool, against his mother's wishes CJ applied and was accepted into Starfleet Academy where he excelled in the helm/navigation field. Four years at the Academy was tough, but he managed to make it through, and his first assignment was on Starbase 24 as a Shuttle Pilot. It wasn't really a glamourous posting, but it gave him the chance to make contact close contact with a number of Captain, Commodore's and Admirals who he enjoyed shuttling and taking advice from. Two later, Jennings accepted a promotion to Ltjg and becoming the Assistant Chief Helm Officer on the USS Jefferson. The next three years, he served on the Jefferson an Oberth class which was assigned to near Kzinti territory. Outside of a few run ins, the mission was primarily peaceful with a lot of exploration and scientific research. In 2264, when the Chief Helm Officer was killed during a shuttle accident, CJ was promoted to Lieutenant and moved up to Chief Helm Officer. For the next two years, Lieutenant Jennings carried on with his task, but wanted more a bit more diversity on his record. When a position on the USS Henderson came open seeking a Chief Navigator along . This posting would place him along the Klingon border.

In 2266, Lieutenant Jennings arrived and found himself patrolling the Klingon border. The Ulyesses class ship was where he gained combat experience over the next two years. His Captain was one who never backed down from a fight and in many ways welcomed the chance to beat the Klingons. But it was in 2268, where the Henderson faced off against the two Klingon D7's. The ship was lost, and all hands had to abandon ship. As a result of the loss of the Henderson, the crew was reassigned and CJ found himself relocated to the USS Midway which was in need of a Chief Navigator.
