"This doesn't seem physically possible!"
—Jimmy's last words in Why They're Here

Private Jimmy was a Blue Army simulation trooper forced to act as the Alpha's original host in Blood Gulch, but Church falsely remembered him as his patrol partner on Sidewinder. He is voiced by John Farrell (False Memory) and Cole Gallian (Season 14).

Role in Plot

Not much is known about private Jimmy before his introduction into the Blue Army other than the fact that he had a girlfriend back at home. In Why They're Here, Jimmy is brought to Sidewinder by Captain Flowers, who tells him that he is the 'final piece of a very complex puzzle,' and that the future would see him as the unsung hero of their story. After entering a building, Captain Flowers thanks Jimmy for his sacrifice, which Jimmy doesn't understand. He is then restrained and forcefully implanted with the Alpha AI.

Afterwards, Jimmy's body, now possessed by Church, is brought to Blood Gulch. Vic tells Flowers that the chances of Jimmy's old personality or memories affecting the Alpha are slim to none. After Church wakes up, Flowers tells him that he made a mistake and asks what he remembers. Church explains that all he can remember is a crash, a snowy place, and his girlfriend fighting Private Jimmy. As time passes, Jimmy continues to be possessed by Church, who in turn believes that Jimmy's body is his own, and is unable to regain control of his own body. Following Flowers' death, a rookie named Caboose joins the Blue Team.

During this time, Church tells Caboose and his other teammate Tucker about his time on Sidewinder. According to Church, Jimmy, his partner on Sidewinder, was a really good kid and everyone liked him. As Jimmy was telling Church about a girl that he had back home, Tex suddenly appeared and killed Private Mickey and the other Blues. She then went after Jimmy, pulled out his skull, and beat him to death with it. After Tucker points out the fact that it doesn't seem physically possible to beat someone to death with their own skull, Church tells him that those were Jimmy's last words (In fact, those were Jimmy's last words during the implantation procedure). In his own memories, Church was the only one who survived the whole ordeal.

Unfortunately, Jimmy's actual demise soon came when Caboose, while in control of Sheila, shot at Church by accident, killing Jimmy and expelling Church from his body.
