History

Life before the SGC

Mitchell would admit years later that seeing his dad without legs for the first time scared him.^[1] His father is later revealed to have recovered mobility with the aid of a pair of forearm crutches.

The episode "Bounty" reveals that Cameron graduated in 1987 from a high school in Auburn, Kansas, which is where his parents currently reside. The entrance sign into Auburn shows a population of 21,211, about 20 times the actual size. During high school, Cameron had a crush on one Amy Vanderburg, though he didn't admit it to her until their 20-year reunion, at which point they realized that the crush had been mutual. He sometimes mentions his Bible-thumping grandmother. Auburn is a city located in Shawnee County, Kansas. ... This Gutenberg Bible is displayed by the United States Library. ...

Cameron had a crisis of conscience several years before becoming a F-302 pilot. During a sortie, Mitchell, when he was captain, piloting an F-16 Fighting Falcon, was ordered to fire upon a convoy of vehicles believed to be carrying enemy fighters. However, almost immediately after he dropped his payload he was ordered not to fire, because it was determined that the convoy was actually refugees fleeing to safety. His bomb found its mark. Even though he was absolved of any wrongdoing, having received direct orders to fire and assured to the validity of the target, he was still wracked with guilt and almost resigned.

F-302 Pilot

Mitchell led the squadron of F-302 fighters in the battle against Anubis' forces in Antarctica at the end of Season 7. He was shot down and suffered damage to what was likely his spine, as he was told he would be unlikely to walk again. (It should be noted that Cameron's role in these events were not shown until Ben Browder joined the cast in season 9.) However, Mitchell pushed himself to his limits, and was able to walk again. He was then able to use his experience of enduring pain in his duel with the knight.^[2]He was promised any assignment he wanted should he recover, and chose to take a place on SG-1. He read and memorized every one of their missions reports. In Season 9 Mitchell is assigned as SG-1's new commanding officer.

Subsequently, when Daniel and Vala inadvertently alert the Ori—ascended beings—to the presence of humans in the Milky Way, Mitchell's prospects looked a little less dim.

Trivia

• More often than not, it seems that Mitchell prefers to use a G36K assault rifle instead of the team's normal P90 submachine gun.
• In the 200th episode of Stargate SG1, Mitchell is joked to have been fathered by Gen. Jack O'Neill. When Carter and Jackson explained the story of how they travelled back in time to 1969 (in the SG1 episode of the same name), Cameron replied that it had nothing to do with him since he was born a year later. They then remarked that it was the 60's and that Jack has taken quite an interest in the otherwise unremarkable boy.
