    Young officers also do rotations in each department and find out which one they’re best suited to so it makes sense for each department head to be great at what they do.

      Then there’s Barcley.

      And I think Voyager had a few junior level crew that were having performance issues.

        I mean Reg is the one who found a way to make contact with Voyager, he’s just terribly socially awkward so slotting him in Engineering works out

          Early on in TNG he was kind of fucking up at his job though. Later on he became more competent yet still socially awkward.

            True, although if we had fully functional holodecks I’d probably end up spending an inordinate amount of time in there too

        Voyager’s command staff also had to merge an undisciplined terrorist crew into a rigid military organization. Pretty sure all the trouble makers in Learning Curve were Maquis.
