Anyway, I tried to come to a suitable premise of what was important to learn before hand, and what could be learned "on the job," so this is it.

:Just rememebr, Admiral, that the majority of personnel are enlisted, who quite often specialize in an area. Officers are more like managers - they organize and direct those personnel under them, and rely that those people know their jobs and how to do them. A Chief Engineer, for example, probably doesn't know EVERYTHING about engineering, but can organize repair and maintenance schedules, duty rosters, etc, and probably knows a great deal of THEORY without having a lot of PRACTICAL, hands-on experience. So really, they don't need to learn EVERYTHING in just 4 years. [[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 12:03, 29 May 2006 (CDT) | |||

I wrote this new version sometime around 2003, if I remember correctly. The biggest issue that I had was trying to fit in everything an officer in StarFleet would need to know in 4 years! IMHO, these kids have to learn WAY too much -- just based on what I've seen on the shows. I mean, how could an Engineer possibly learn all of his "core curriculum" AND enough information to be able to repair a Sovereign class vessel when the time came?
