If they could all get promoted as soon as they qualified I think it would be a different story. That and when SC3 transfers them out, they always stick me with some random qualification that I don't need on my boat. Like the'll take a torp man and give me a machine man. or take one of my radio men and give me a helmsman. 
Like I have nothing better to do than re-train the guy for what I do need. |
Ah yes, the fun of being a leader.
Normally I let my XO look after transfers (ie via the "realistic crew transfer" option), however, from time-to-time I will put in a good word for an exceptional ObLt and let him go to take his own command. I play the game like RL - as much as I hate to lose my best (wo)men, who am I to play God with their careers and personal aspirations, especially if I think they are ready for the higher role?
