According to this post: https://www.star-fleet.com/archive/post/929678 my first post occurred on the 27th April 2006. That matches up with my recollection of it being just after Easter that year (Easter was April 16 in Australia in 2006). My academy graduation was 12 August 2006 according to: https://www.star-fleet.com/acad/grads/Ship/.
