[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Riker was apparently referring to the normal path to captaincy when speaking of the age of 35 as his goal. He couldn't count on having his captain killed in a crisis that would make Riker the replacement. And he was speaking *TO* his captain at the time, so voicing out the desire for such an event would have been rather nasty... Then again, Paul Rice studied with Riker and was a captain by rank and position in 2364. If he was the same age as Riker (entered Academy at 18), wouldn't he be just 29 then? Riker turned down the command of the ship that eventually went to Rice - so he seemed to abanadon a chance at captaincy far before 35. Perhaps Riker was speaking of getting to be the captain of a tall ship like the Enterprise, and not a leaking scow like the light cruiser Drake? And perhaps Rice became captain of the small Drake at the rank of Lt.Cmrd, and only made Captain at 29 because of some unexpected heroics? Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
