Overview

A young man with some flying experience as a boonie jumper, he is selected as a candidate pilot ("nugget") for Viper training under the command of Lieutenant Kara "Starbuck" Thrace.

Biography

Perry is a young man in his early 20s, who is selected from relative obscurity to become one of Galactica's first intake of trainee pilots after 7 experienced pilots are killed in a freak accident (Act of Contrition).

Once on the Galactica he finds himself under the command of Kara Thrace for training, alongside nugget pilots Constanza and Katraine, with whom he forms a friendship.

Thrown in at the deep end-- flying Vipers on their very first day of training, none of the nuggets perform particularly well. This leads to the entire intake initially being washed out by Thrace, prior to being reinstated on the orders of Commander William Adama.

Perry's training continues until he is selected to fly with Lee Adama during a raid to secure tylium desposits from the Cylons (The Hand of God). He is killed during the operation.

Upon review of the footage, it looks like Chuckles it severely wounded and Stepchild remarks that he is 'going down', but since we don't actually see his Viper explode, it is possible he survived.

Later in the episode Home (1), a pilot named Perry is considered to be the new CAG before Adama chooses Birch, so it lookes like Chuckles actually survived.
