History
Personal History: Born in Newport Beach, Orange County, California on October 31, 1962. Father an American housing developer, mother an entertainer from Australia. Holds duel US/Australian citizenship. Raised at the family home in Newport Beach, Orange County and attended Newport Harbor High School. Graduated high school with good results but not enough to go directly into university, so he enlisted in the United States Air Force, just as his older brother had done. His younger sister enlisted once she'd completed university. Met his future wife Ashlee at a basketball game, and the two had a daughter, which prompted Troy to complete USAF officer training to support the family.
Family:
Father: Phillip George Loveridge -- Housing Developer
Mother: Carol Lucille Loveridge -- Socialite
Sister: Captain Lindsay Allison Loveridge -- Office of the Secretary of the Air Force
Spouse: Ashlee Elyse Loveridge -- Homemaker
Son: Trent Cooper Loveridge -- Stargate Academy Student
Daughter: Keren Louise Loveridge -- University Student
Training and Education:
Upon being recruited into the United States Air Force as an Airman Basic in 1980, Troy completed the Air Force’s Basic Military Training (BMT) and Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas. The 6 week course taught him basic military instruction (including the Air Force core values, flight and individual drill, and living area inspections), academic classes (covering topics such as Air Force history, dress and appearance, military customs and courtesies, ethics, security, and alcohol/drug abuse prevention and treatment), and field training (including protection against biological and chemical attack, basic marksmanship on the M-16 rifle, and first aid).
He joined the Air Force Special Operations Command and the 720th Special Tactics Group, 24th Special Tactics Squadron as a Pararescueman, what some consider to be the most difficult job in all of the armed forces — combat search and rescue, typically of (but not limited to) downed pilots. His 35 week training program, based out of Lackland Air Force Base, Tx., included completion of Combat Control Orientation Course, Combat Control Operator Course, U.S. Army Airborne School, U.S. Air Force Basic Survival School, Combat Control School, Special Tactics Advanced Skills Training, U.S. Army Military Free Fall Parachutist School, U.S. Army Combat Divers School and U.S. Navy Underwater Egress Training. His training enabled him to fight with virtually any special operations unit and act as a paramedic in the battlefield.
By the time he'd finished his training he'd been promoted to Airman First Class, and he soon successfully completed the competitive Below-the-Zone selection, allowing him to be promoted to Senior Airman six months earlier than usual. It was around this time that his wife, Ashlee, fell pregnant with Trent, and although she's originally wanted him to leave the service, they both agreed that he should consider becoming an officer to better help support the growing family.
He officially entered the USAFA on August 9, 1984, and was assigned to Cadet Squadron 22: Raptors, Third Cadet Group, Cadet Wing, and attained the rank of Cadet 4th Class during his Freshman year. Between his Freshman and Sophomore year he became Airbourne Qualified for completion of either freefall parachute training at the Academy or the U.S. Army's Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia, and went on to attain the Sophomore rank of Cadet Staff Sergeant. In his Junior year he was appointed the Wing Superintendent of the USAFA Cadet Wing and helper oversee the operations, training and administration of that group, and held the rank of Cadet Chief Master Sergeant. Trent went on to become the Group Commander of the Third Cadet Group with the rank of Cadet Colonel in his Senior year, sadly missing out on the converted position of Cadet Wing Commander.
During his time at the USAFA he represented the Academy in swimming in events against the other US military colleges, and received positions on both the Commandant's & Athletic Director's Lists, missed out making the Superintendent's List as he did not qualify for the Dean's List, based upon academic skill. He graduated on May 13 1988 with a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Humanities.
Military Record:
Upon graduation, Troy returned to the 720th Special Tactic Group as a Combat Rescue Officer. His first frontline military experience came in the 1989 US invasion of Parama, where Troy and members of the 24th Special Tactics Squadron acted as the primary Pararesuce unit for a majority of frontline incursions. Just over a year later, the 24th STS was deployed into the Persian Gulf as part of the US's forward advancement into Iraq, and the squadron remained on duty until the conclusion of the Gulf War in February 1991. Shortly following his promotion to Captain he assumed the position of Squadron Commanding Officer, and by the end of the year the 24th STS found themselves involved with Operation Restore Hope, the UN sanctioned invasion of Somalia. During the infamous Battle of Mogadishu, Troy and his squadron maintained an aerial presence in MH-6 Little Birds, and members of his Squadron were responsible for the recovery of a number of downed Blackhawk pilots.
In 1994 the 24th STS was part of the U.S. led multinational force deployed into Haiti to support the peace keeping efforts, however he was approached by members of the Air Force Space Command in March 1995 and briefed on the Stargate Program. The then Captain Loveridge had hoped to make it onto Colonel O'Neill's off-world team sent the Abydos, but a training injury lead to him not making the cut. After O'Neill's team returned through the gate and the program was shut down, Troy attended Air Command and Staff College were he received a Joint Diploma in Leadership, Command and Communication Studies. Upon graduation he was offered a position as Air Officer Commanding at the USAFA for Cadet Squadron 22, the very Squadron Troy had trained with during his time at the USAFA. During the 12 months with the Raptors, Troy exercised command authority over his cadets and trained the cadets in officership and military matters. He advised the cadets who hold leadership positions in the unit, and acted as role models for the future officers.
A month before the end of the USAFA academic year, Troy was informed that the Stargate Program had reopened under the command of General Hammond. Once the academic year had concluded, Troy stepped down from AOC and transferred back to the SGC, and from day one he never looked back. Major Loveridge led a number of off-world teams, clocking up numerous hours of gate activity. He carried out off-world base security duties, front line combat, exploration, and even a short stint with the SG-9, the diplomatic team. In mid-2003 he attended Air War College, and attained a Joint Professional degree in Military Education. Following his graduation he transferred to the newly formed Department of Homeworld Security, glad to again be serving under first General Hammond, then General O'Neill.
