I have no idea. I couldn't do anything soldier-like. Yeah, I'd probably just be a researcher in a lab somewhere. I like to think that Starfleet would find the better of me, but in actuality I'd never survive any post that put me in harm's way, as I'd be cowering in the corner.
Hey. Question. In the American military, do subordinates refer to their female commanding officers as "Sir" like they do in the Star Trek universes? I adore that it's a unisex term there.
I wouldn't mind doing something combat related, but Star Trek is kind of vague as to which branches participate... in DS9, it seemed that everybody did, but that's because it was a total war type thing. (that would also go in line with the war we're fighting right now, in which there is no "rear" line and everybody can be engaged. Scawwy.)
but in actuality I'd never survive any post that put me in harm's way I was thinking about that too... the ships seem really dangerous. o_o
In the American military, do subordinates refer to their female commanding officers as "Sir" like they do in the Star Trek universes? Okay now that is something that I was curious about too. Star Trek is based on the US Navy, and so far just about everything is in line with reality except for that, to my knowledge. I'm not in the navy, so it's hard for me to say, but every higher ranking female in the navy I've ever spoken to, I've addressed as "ma'am" or by their rank. (Other interesting thing about the Navy that confuses the shit out of me is that anyone

All of this -- this whole post -- is inspired (or re-inspired) by the fact that I'm watching all of DS9. Yeah, no matter who you are, Starfleet, Bajoran, or non-enlisted in anything, you are AT WAR, and must join in. I want to be safely on Earth or at a research station or something where I'm not going to be maimed. I just hope that if I were in Starfleet, I could just rack up educational degrees or something like that

...but I would COMPLETELY be hiding under the console as soon as the first sign of danger arose.
I think I don't have the right wish.

... I don't even know what branch of Starfleet I'd be in. I guess the sciences/educational/psychological? D: How 'bout you?
I would try so hard to get into Captain Janeway's pants
