TripLives 0 Posted October 11, 2007 If Starfleet was a reality today, you entered and graduated from the Academy, which department/position would you want to be in? I choose Engineering because I like to tinker with, build, design, and fix things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted October 11, 2007 I would need to be in command. I'm a fairly good leader but a terrible follower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted October 11, 2007 Ugh... I wouldn't even make it through the Academy (I wouldn't even try to)... I hate to follow someone else's orders (especially if I think they're wrong)... However, working aboard a starship still sounds good to me... as a bartender, waitress or something... like Ben... the guy that appeared on TNG's "Lower Decks" - I could be friends with all the senior officers.

Son of Kor 0 Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) Security. For many reasons, really. Opportunity for advancement, a spot on most landing parties, cool red shirt (TOS), and I'll admit I'm a lot better with my fists and a hand phaser than trying to figure out a 10,000-year old alien computer, or reversing polarity.

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted October 15, 2007 They didn't really have a military intelligence department other than Section 31 or security but if they did I would do that at first, then work up to command. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BakulaBabe 2 Posted October 15, 2007 The Science department! I love science, and I've always done well in science in school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted October 15, 2007 I tend to agree with Mrs.Picard. I'd like to be on a starship, but not necessarily in Starfleet. Either a teacher, or a archivist or perhaps work in updating the ship's research library files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frank 0 Posted October 18, 2007 Either engineering or one of the sciences. Perhaps the medical field. Either one of those gets you in the spotlight often enough... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prometheus 0 Posted January 20, 2008 Since I am a lawyer, it would have to be in Star Fleet's J.A.G. I suppose I'd wear red and travel round ships, reading materials and preparing for hearings. I'd probably have an office at Star Fleet command or on a regional Starbase, depending on where/ In which region I would be responsible for prosecuting in. I would probably receive requests at my office for hearings from Captains with a problem crew-member or so forth, and would make a preliminary decision on whether or not there is enough evidence to require a hearing. I think it would be fun because I would get to meet lots of new people which I love doing. Also, I like to travel. In my real life job I travel to different courts and meet different lawyers, clients and so forth each week and spend time in my office which is my private get away.
