Earl Grey 118: Blue Shirts Win The House Cup

Starfleet Career Path.

Many fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation and all other Trek
incarnations continually imagine what life is like as a Starfleet
officer. Phillip, Daniel, and Darren decide to play "guidance
counselor" and explore the actual Starfleet career track. They
begin with Next Gen's debut of Starfleet Academy in "The First
Duty," as well as the multiple references to various crew
member's experiences, including their application process to the
Academy or their life as cadets.

Earl Grey then goes through the ranks step-by-step, exploring
what life is like as a "blue" (science/medical) or "red"
(command) shirt. What does a science lieutenant junior grade do
on the Enterprise-D? Do red shirt ensigns do anything else other
than pilot the ship? How can you be in command of anything when
you are the lowest rank? The trio also reveals the "secret"
behind the post-grad school blue shirt experience and spends time
with the "Lower Decks," discussing life as a junior officer on
the flagship. So put on the Academy sorting hat to determine your
hous-...color uniform and enjoy this episode that analyzes the
Starfleet career path.
