[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Starfleet clearly doesn't work like this; we've seen people working to qualify for, and even compete for promotions up from Ensign. Other people (besides Voyager crew) have stayed at Ensign or Lieutenant ranks for many years, and promotion does not necessarily mean a real increase in responsibility (LaForge, Worf, Bashir). In some cases, promotions can possibly be made to bring the senior staff rank to be more in sync with the importance of their assignment (i.e. DS9). Of course, our heroes are rarely ever transferred when promoted, but that's a whole other issue. Concerning an earlier post, I think it's more correct to say that Troi was intended to tbe the conscience or soul of the crew, not its brain. I that respect she did a decent job, when she wasn't spouting off the bloody obvious. CMOs probably don't need to be full commanders for matters of outranking people for most medical functions. For authoritarian reasons, no one a CMO would conceivably treat would be more than a Lt. Cmdr, and so they may ranked accrodingly... Department heads rarely exceed Lt. Cmdr unless they are really experienced or really old, or need to be the CMO on a flagship or something. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
