Grogan

A young soldier admitted into Stargate Command training simulations alongside cadets Elliot, Hailey, and Satterfield. Grogan had an almost pathologic tendency to get in the way of enemy fire, continually being shot and writing himself out of simulations early on. Despite this obvious problem, he and the rest of his team succeeded at their goal of retaking Stargate Command, learning soon after that the entire event was a training examination.

Grogan was on stand-by, awaiting a slot to open at the S.G.C., eventually earning himself the position of Sergeant on SG-9, under the command of Major Benton). The team traveled to the planet Latona to reopen negotiations with Marul and the rest of the inhabitants. He and the team spent substantial time on the world prior to the arrival of the Goa'uld Svarog and a battalion of Jaffa troops. The rest of SG-9 was eliminated while Grogan managed to conceal himself under foliage, eventually giving aid to SG-1 when the team arrived.

Note: Grogan identifies himself as a Sergeant, though O'Neill later addresses him as a Lieutenant. Based on this it is likely that, unlike his fellow former cadets, he is not a graduate of the Air Force Academy.
