[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saiyanman Benjita: [QB] I get a headache just thinking about O'Brien's rank status. However, in the case of Data (and probably the Vulcans), you also have to think of personality as a possible reason that he has spent so much time in the lieutenant grades (though he probably includes all 3 "lieutenant" grades (JG, Lieutenant, LC)). Remember that ambition is a human emotion. Riker shows this early in the series when he talks about being the youngest captain. This would lead you to believe that he is still young, perhaps 28-31, and is looking to be a captain by 33. His ambition probably led him to put himself in a position to be promoted as early as possible. However, Data, having little ambition (he doesn't have NONE, or else he'd just be another robot), probably led him to keep the status quo. This will pass him over come promotion time almost any time. Data's promotions probably were timed at near the greatest intervals because of his lack of ambition. This is probably the same deal with Vulcans. [/QB][/QUOTE]
