Brief bio: Gale is a Georgia native and grew up in a rural area, hunting and camping regularly. Coming from an Air Force family, he decided early on in his life to enlist and spent much of his teen years as a Cadet in the Civil Air Patrol. At 18, Gale joined the Air Force at the rank of Airman First Class (thanks to his prior time as a Cadet) and thanks to his excellent physical capability, he was able to qualify to train as a TACP (Tactical Air Control Party) 
He went through the training pipeline like everyone else and his experience and performance overall were unremarkable. During the outbreak, he and the rest of his team were deployed alongside the US Army units fighting in Atlanta (seen in TS19) and were responsible for coordinating the air strikes that leveled much of the city and, though at great cost of civilian lives, slowed the spread of the infected hordes from Atlanta.
 
Personality Strengths: Calm and confident under stress, comfortable and accustomed to harsh conditions and sees things as an adventure or challenge. Very loyal and protective of friends, loved ones or those he perceives as innocent, weak and needing protection.

Personality Weaknesses: Sometimes short tempered, impatient and intolerant of views he sees as incorrect, wrong or illogical. Doesn't usually trust others' capability. Sometimes paranoid and distrustful of others.
