Career
Ding was formerly part of the Bravo Company 3rd Battalion ("Ninjas"), 17th Infantry Regiment, U.S. 7th Infantry Division. He is then recruited into the CIA's Special Activities Division.
Domingo is known to possess at least 3 Intelligence Stars; one issued at the beginning of Debt of Honor after a successful operation in East Africa, one issued for John Clark and himself during the Japanese conflict (see Debt of Honor for the conflict; notice of issue in Executive Orders) as well as one for his ongoing operations carried out in Executive Orders (noted during Rainbow Six as Golovko reviews his file 'thought to possess no less than 2 Intelligence Stars'). These awards — given for valor in black operations that officially "never happened" — are awarded secretly, and no medals or ribbons are worn: their existence is classified. They are analogous to the U.S. Military's Silver Star, but are much more rare.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
