[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [QB] Sorry, must have missed that. :) Even so, Ensign to Vice Admiral in 22 years has to be some kind of record... I think what the quick promotions of people like Janeway and Riker and the slow promotions of most other people show is that Starfleet's promotion system is far more whimsical than modern military systems. For instance, I believe that the modern military requires a certain number of years in each post, and its possible for most people to get reasonably high without an awful lot of effort if they stay long enough, but Starfleet seems to promote on some other grounds than experience (like how many Admirals you know), and high-flyers can get promoted unbelievably fast, while not-so-high-flyers (like alt-Picard when he is still a Lt) can stay at low ranks for much longer.
