[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE] A Lt. Commander or Commander might fly off the handle ina standoff situation and start a war during what could have otherwise been just a tense encounter. [/QUOTE]Why? Going by modern military standards (the closest real world organisation, we're talking about people with between 12-25+ years of experience who hold those ranks. In order to gain a command it is necessary to pass several, very intensive, courses. As for Harriman, I prefer to think that Starfleet would have assigned a competant commander to the Enterprise, even for her shakedown. I don't blame him for being nervous, what with three senior Captains on his bridge, being in command of the Enterprise, the crisis, the lack of supplies, etc. I think it is possible it was his first command as captain, but not necessarily his first posting as captain (He could have been assigned to Starfleet Acadamy, SFHQ, Starfleet Tactical, some Admiral's staff, etc.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
