Beginning of his career
Following family tradition, Ashley enlisted in the Alliance Navy as a Marine after high school and was assigned to the Macapá Recruit Training Depot in Brazil.
During training, Chief Williams was certified as an expert on the standard edition M-7 Lancer and standard to light weight combat armor.
Instructor and Chief Weapons Officer Ellison noted her firm stamina and aggressive instincts, promoting her to the position of platoon leader. Soon after, Ashley receives another promotion, this time to troop leader after the effective mentoring he provided to the less skilled members of her unit. Her troops were unanimous in making positive comments about her leadership in one of the review cycles, and her partner, Private Nirali Bhatia, praised her focus on group improvement exercises and discipline.
