Chyler and her family later moved to [[Mamore]],<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-that-escalated-quickly '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - That Escalated Quickly'']</ref> a colony world where violence between [[Insurrectionist]]s and UNSC supporters was a common occurrence.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn: Squad]]'''</ref> As a result, even civilians like herself were forced to learn how to protect themselves from a young age. For example, Chyler's mother taught her how to hold a rifle when she was ten years of age. In preparation for emergencies, her father would often race Chyler and her brother [[Grayson Silva|Grayson]] to a local bomb shelter and he would allow them to stay up half an hour past bedtime if they beat him. Her cousin's school became the target of a rebel bombing when she was around ten years of age, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of children.{{Ref/Reuse|interview}} Both of her parents were UNSC military and eventually died in battle against rebels.<ref name="fud2">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''', ''part 2''</ref> | ||
Developing a strong personal sense of duty to the UNSC, Silva intended to become a soldier like her parents and she attended Corbulo Academy as a freshman cadet of the class of 2529. Assigned to [[Hastati Squad]] under the leadership of Senior Cadet [[April Orenski]], she took her education with particular enthusiasm, scoring top marks in training exercises. Although most other members of Hastati Squad berated [[Thomas Lasky]] for his poor performance in combat exercises and not taking his training seriously, Silva continuously attempted to encourage him to become a better soldier. As a result of her background, she was not convinced by Lasky's pacifism, maintaining that military action by the UNSC was the only way to end the war. Silva's efforts eventually paid off, with Lasky volunteering to lead the squad during a Capture the Flag exercise and devising an ingenious tactical maneuver which allowed Hastati Squad to catch [[Zuma Squad]] completely by surprise. While Hastati Squad was victorious, with Silva playing a major part in the assault on the opposing team's flag, Lasky passed out before the exercise was over. | Developing a strong personal sense of duty to the UNSC, Silva intended to become a soldier like her parents and she attended Corbulo Academy as a freshman cadet of the class of 2529.
