[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] Or simply that reaching the rank of captain without transfering to command track is very difficult. I mean, let's say you're an engineer, right? So promotion is based on open slots, essentially. You're not going to get that position as Assistant Shift-Chief until the guy ahead of you retires, gets killed, or transfered. Once you get there, you're going to get Assistant Chief until that guy moves on. Once THERE, you're not going to get Chief of Engineering until that slot is open on your own ship or another. Once you've got a position as CoE, what can you really do? I mean, after a few years you might be able to get a teaching post at the Academy, but other than that all you can really hope for is to be promoted to CoE of a repair or construction yard, or ... y'know? I mean, it's gotta be really hard to move up in the branches without at some point crossing over to command. If anyone here has read the Hornblower novels, the descriptions of the officers' worries about promotions probably is shared by many within Starfleet. [/QB][/QUOTE]
