Captain

From MAlf

Captain is a title given to officers in command of a starship or civilians that own a starship. It says: "I am god on this starship!"

In starfleet you have to visit Space Academy at least once and you have to try to solve the Kobayashi Maru scenario before you are given this title. Because Kobayashi Maru scenario is a no-win scenario and you can stand it even if you lose it is not very hard to come through Space Academy and to become a Captain. Whether this is a intelligent personnel policy can be discussed, and it may also be noted that the only person that cheated at this test, James R. Kirk was given command of the flag ship of the Federation, the Enterprise. Not surprisingly he crashed it. ("Space Seed, Part II" and "Surprise: Spock is alive!")
