"Cadet Dermont knows his mechanical theories. And while, sure, he is better with the hands-on aspect of the engineering job, he nonetheless scored excellently in all aspects of the engineering classes. Certainly well enough to be placed on a ship in the fleet. However, I just have to note this for whatever Captain may deem it worth reading. Dermont just might not be material fit for running his own crew. Now, I know his background, but I didn't see it today. We were in his final exam...a holo exercise where he takes over the role of Chief Engineer. It is designed to see how much information he has assimilated throughout his last year and to see how he applies it in on board a vessel. He was handling things pretty well, but at key times he failed to order the crewman to perform procedures that would have solved the problem before him. A problem that he answered without issue | "Cadet Dermont knows his mechanical theories.

He was handling things pretty well, but at key times he failed to order the crewman to perform procedures that would have solved the problem before him. A problem that he answered without issue in the written section, not an hour before. So he is either forgetting how to translate the knowledge he has into a command format or he was failing to do so intentionally. I suppose only time will tell which one. I suggest retesting one year into his commission. | ||

"I cannot go into the details of Dermont's case, as I will not breach his confidence. That will be a matter between his next counselor and myself. However, I can give some insight into his professional demeanor. He is a man with issues which at times may hinder his ability to take charge. He appears to freeze during moments that hinge on his decision-making skills. It is no breach of confidence to say that the tragedy continues to be a sore spot in his life. Be warned future commanding officers, he does like to speak of that past. It lead to the alienation of his wife and children. And while he had joined Starfleet in an effort to move past it, it will be a long and challenging road for him. Despite his objections, I have put in his file for him to continue weekly counseling at whatever posting he may receive. | |||
