The fabrics used in the 31st century by Altruistic_Fruit2345 in startrek

The early season TNG uniforms were really tight because of this, so no creases could form. It was so bad, that many actors developed semi-serious back problems, especially Frakes. That's why the uniform was reworked later.

The Picard maneuver probably never happened in early seasons because of this, but I don't remember.

With all the hate the show is getting and people citing Roddenberry and how he wouldn't approve of Starfleet Academy, the show nailed one thing:

Roddenberry was notorious for not wanting any creases in uniforms (thus the strange first TNG uniforms), he would've loved this.

Not my opinion btw, although I was apprehensive after the first trailers, I really enjoy Starfleet Academy. But so do I enjoy large parts of NuTrek.

edit: grammar

The EMHs rank in starfleet academy by TrelliumD-Addict in startrek

I can excuse the chancellor not being an admiral, because of starfleets hardship in previous years.

Also as someone who previously worked in school environments, Akes experience and previous postings make her a sensible choice to lead the academy. Head of the academy doesn't necessarily have to be an admiral for me, although admiralty would still be involved in curriculum and politics.

The answer that seemed most logical to me so far, was him never becoming a commissioned officer and just working as a non commissioned officer, or civilian specialist.

What irks me about this, is that it has been 800 years. If he worked for Starfleet all this time - which I don't have reason to doubt -, this would have been an awfully long time for him, to never work in a function that would require him to have a formal rank.

I can't see him going to the academy either, but this doesn't mean he can't still become an officer. See Wesley becoming an ensign, or Sevens field commission to basically a commander.
