Cadet Miller joined the Academy in 2361, being part of many groups and associations while he was there. As a student of Flight Control, he learned the techniques that he would be tasked with at the Helm of a Starship. But as an athletic young man, he became part of the Academy's Wrestling team, winning several awards in the ring. In his Third and Fourth years he was the teams Captain. In 2364, came Tyrone's training cruise, aboard the USS Canada. A small ship, it still proved to be an interesting place to train. Upon Graduation, he decided to remain aboard the Canada as an Ensign, in the Flight Control Department.
The Canada was one of many ships that wasn't recalled to Wolf 359 in 2367, but the ship was involved in the tachyon blockade later that year set up by Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the Enterprise. From then on he wished that he'd served on that mighty Galaxy class vessel, one day hoping that he'd get the chance to serve on one. In 2369, Tyrone was promoted to Lieutenant JG, and continued to serve in the capacity as a Flight Control Officer of the Canada. In 2372, when the war with the Klingons broke out in the Arkanis sector, the department on the Canada suffered a shakeup, and now Lieutenant (JG) Miller found himself as the Assistant Chief Helmsman. In the opening months of the War with the Dominion, the Canada was ambushed, and all officers and crew were taken prisoner by the Dominion.
So from 2374, Tyrone lived under the brutal hand of Cardassian and Jem'Hadar suppression, as a Prisoner of the ongoing war. He was held at the Dominion Internment Camp Alpha 9, near the border between Cardassian space, and the Tzenkethi. During his time their, he was tortured regularly, he was pushed to the limit of his physical abilities, and beaten regularly. During one such incident in the camp, Tyrone was stabbed by a Cardassian guard. It was only the quick thinking of his cell mates that prevented him from bleeding to death. During a later session with the Cardassian leadership on the base, his voice box was partially removed, and he is now left with the requirement of using a Vocoder.
After being released at the conclusion of the war, Tyrone spent 2 years on Vulcan, attempting to learn the Vulcan ways. He wanted to be able to suppress the memories of what happened to him in the camp, and was willing to try anything to achieve that. He found that in those two years on Vulcan, he learnt a great deal, and decided that he actually enjoyed the Meditation techniques that he was taught. Following the two years on Vulcan, he went to Earth, and spent 6 months in Tibet. He spent that time furthering is growing interest in meditation, and following some old Earth ways of mental and spiritual relaxation. He actually found that this kind of therapy worked for him.
In late 2377, he finally decided to return to Starfleet. he spent 7 months as a Lieutenant JG as the Assistant Chief Helmsman of the USS San Hose before being promoted to full Lieutenant and made it's Chief the following year. Although he soon lost interest in it, feeling that Starfleet had neglected him in the POW camp, and decided to resign his commission. He currently holds the record as shortest career length as a Department head; 2 and a half days. So, with no responsibility to the uniform he no longer had faith in, he returned to Earth, first taking a job as a Bartender at the Launching Pad in San Francisco. That one, however only lasted a month, when his mother said she could get him a job with the FNS.
He took it, being sent to Paris as the FNS Correspondent to the Federation Council. Although it wasn't much, and his column was short, he enjoyed being able to deliver the news of the Council's decisions to the public's attention. Then, 2379, he was approached by the FNS to begin a new project for them. As the only former Starfleet Officer among them, he was asked by the Editor to begin work on putting together a Documentary on Life at Starfleet Academy. During the course of the Projects construction, Miller found that the Academy had changed considerably since the war, and decided to make that his primary focus. In mid 2380, his documentary 'Post War Academy Life' was released to the Public, and showed how the Cadets and the Lecturers had changed since the end of the War with the Dominion.
So, after that, he was left with nothing further to do. The FNS sent him to the USS Galaxy A to cover the Breen incident. Arrived on board when the Galaxy and the USS Miranda left Starbase 212 for Breen Space. He finally got his wish to serve on a Galaxy Class Vessel, only he'd never put the Uniform on again.
