Commodore Glen Ross
Played by Tucker Smallwood

|
The commander of the U.S.S. Saratoga is Commodore Glen Ross. On the command deck, he is a straight-talking,
take charge person who can't stand the sight of any Chigs "in his sky." A career serviceman, he knows the rules, but
also knows when he has to push his own superiors to ensure the safety of his ship and crew. He commands the
highest respect and only a few, such as McQueen know that his bark is often worse than his bite.
Ross is a family man who had to leave his wife and children behind in Louisiana. They remain close to his heart,
as does the Mississippi River region of his home. Privately, he enjoys taking a quiet drink and playing the blues on a
guitar he calls "Rosalyn."
As for personal relationships on the Saratoga, Ross claims without doubt that he considers McQueen one of
his closest friends. They trust one another. In fact, Ross values McQueen so much that he usually denies
McQueen permission to join in the fray. On one occasion, his trust in McQueen is such that he reluctantly lets the
Lt. Colonel go out a sortie against an invincible enemy. On another, he permits McQueen to go on a certain-death
mission with his Wildcards. He even gives McQueen one of his guitar picks, claiming that taking the pick is like
taking him along.
