During one of her spelling tests James spelled the word "rendezvous" correctly, which led to him liking the word ever since. After Cutter finished school, his [[Cutter's father|father]] pushed him to get a university degree and was furious when James became an [[ensign]] at the [[UN Colony Logistics Office]] and became even more angered when his son enrolled in flight school. He even went so far as to tell him he was "nothing more than a trucker".{{Ref/Reuse|OSG}} James enrolled in the [[UNSC School of the North Star]] on [[2500|September 15, 2500]], where he graduated magna cum laude with an emphasis in [[astronavigation]] and political science. He was admitted to [[Officer Candidate School]] on [[2504|June 19, 2504]], where he received additional training with emphases in command and astronavigation.
