Re: [B7L] Captain Vila (long)

Vila's background is as fluid as his mind is, of course. In 'Horizon',

when

Avon calls him "a fifth-grade ignorant", his answer is "I chose the wrong parents, didn't I?" - nothing about cheating one way or the other on the tests (interesting that he doesn't call Avon on that incorrect ranking either).

Maybe he's been taking Open University extension courses in the meantime.

In 'Shadow' he says to Cally that he grew up 'among the Delta service grades' and was in the Juvenile Detention Wards at a very young

age

("since I was old enough to read the graffiti')

You can tell he didn't go to school in New York--old enough to read the graffiti would be about 25
