[QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist II: [QB] Another assumption is that all these greenhorns are all going to the fleet. What about shore installations, various research labs, communications arrays, etc, etc.? There has to be new postings in these areas not to mention where do the crews of ships in for SLEP-like programs ( to borrow from the USN ) go? We know that stafleet has its own R&D programs and maintenance facilities, but one of the things we never see is the depths of support needed to maintain a fleet. It's like seeing a bunch of Tomcat crews having adventures with an occasional appearance on deck of a fuel handler, munitions or deck handler or LSO. Not to mention the cooks, barbers, supply, logistics and other personnel of a carrier. If I remember right, there's about 5,000 crewmen on a flattop and only about 200 of them are the glamour boy pilots. While I realize that showing the day-to-day life of a fuel handler isn't exciting, it is an extremely important support function that could cripple an airgroup if they were to be unable to perform their duties.
