I'm betting the KM was pretty much the same, and the captain had very little say in what happened.

On the other hand there is no such thing as an unqualified petty officer. The very nature of achieving that rating means that you have learned your job. I use SH3C to assign quals to every PO, as was the case in real life.

Still today in the Navy you get constant transfers. But when you transfer a medic out, you dont get a gunner in return. Thats what I mean about commander being "dumb" with the transfers.

To agree with Snestorm, were PO's who are not qualified are the same has a seaman. I am sure that even in those days when you were a PO, you were qualified in something...

But indeed I do use commander to qualify them has soon has I get them at the start of my carreers.
