Surviving Starfleet Academy: The Brutal Reality of TNG’s Elite Training | Perspectives of Jerry

Описание: What was it actually like to attend Starfleet Academy during the era of Captain Picard? From the terrifying "Psych Test" to the legendary groundskeeper Boothby, let's break down the 24th-century grind.

In today’s perspective, I’m diving deep into the Starfleet Academy curriculum during the Star Trek: The Next Generation era. We explore the three main tracks—Command (Red), Operations (Gold), and Sciences (Blue)—and what it takes to survive the "no-win scenario" of the Kobayashi Maru.

We often see our favorite officers like Geordi La Forge or Kathryn Janeway as seasoned veterans, but their journey started in San Francisco at an institution that is part Ivy League, part Olympic training camp, and part psychological gauntlet.
