Closeing a worm hole, help the Midway to test its super neon light, defend the Midway, destroy a Tiamat Dreadnoght,...
The list is very big, he did many things after being promoted to 1st Lt.
O.K. Casey did all that but Zero was in his wing and he helped (he did escorted, with Maniac help, Blair in the last mission without Casey help, I dont think that fight was uneventfull).
