Hello, it's very nice you meet you!

Your whole application just had this very positive, friendly vibe that spoke Operations to me. I see you working very well in a group environment and infusing it with a very happy, determined energy!

Good luck and I hope you enjoy the Fleet!

Okay, the reasons you love Chekov? Pretty much sorted you right there. And then it just kept getting better.

Just… Someone you know you can rely on. Finally, just someone who enjoys being alive. Someone who recognizes how precious life is and lives with that sort of conviction that anything could happen at any time, and tries to live in a way that they could be okay with their death at any moment.

That is something that I can completely relate to. I wish I could live like that, and while I admire people like that, they also frighten me a little, with their sheer, boundless energy. Maybe I'm too much of a realist, but I look at your admiration of them and I am in admiration of your admiration, legit.

All over your application, you are cheerful, positive, friendly, and you respect people for being people. That's the sort of thing that makes both a good leader, and a good anthropologist (not to mention a good teacher; as a secondary education major currently student teaching, I feel like I should have some weight to saying ( ... )

I agree with anoyo on the reasoning behind your choice of Checkov but I would also say that your choice of Doctor Pulaski was for similar reasons. She's very gruff and would be difficult to get to know or befriend, I think. She's certainly not amiable or social in any way!
Your answers for question ten were leading me astray for a little while - your fascination with tactics and battle strategy sounded very, well Tactical to me but I don't think you see yourself so much as the General directing his troops, rather you are an observer. You would watch, take note of what is important and work with the leaders to develop better strategies. Then you kind of went Medical a bit with your desire to help people as a teacher and mentally as a doctor but your strengths and weaknesses are very much of another track.
The fact that you are creative, positive, communicative and caring, combined with the kindness, dedication, loyalty, morals, reliability and fun that you approve of in others, points towards you being a very open and friendly person. Add ( ... )

I dislike seeing cruelty aimed at anyone, especially if it’s repeatedly.

Chekov love! You are basically adorable, and you have the utmost respect for people, no matter your disagreement with them. You are positive, dedicated, and open - you enjoy being social and seem to be a true friend. I think you thrive best working with others, combining your strengths with others who compliment you. I see a lot of Medical in you, but

I recommend Operations. Best of luck!

Hidey ho!

My vote is for Operations - you seem to be outgoing and very much a team player.

Good luck!
