Quick question for those on my flist that might know. What rank would Uhura have been around the time she and Jim met at the bar?[Poll #1535491]

For Uhura, I'd say she doesn't haver her commission at that point.

According to the book (if you take that as canon at all), the first time Uhura's called by lieutenant is in the hangar, so her promotion must have taken place sometime between the shuttle ride and the distress call. Kirk is also referred to as 'lieutenant' once aboard the Enterprise, and McCoy at that point is lieutenant commander, but at what point these promotions occurred I'm not sure.

According to Alpha, cadets only receive their commissions once they graduate, so I'm not sure how well the Reboot canon meshes with the rest of canon, since they're all referred to as both cadets and commissioned officers at the same time. I would think though that the ranks were basically just honorary ones used for the duration of the Narada incident, and the cadets received their full commissions after they returned and graduated.

Um.

But I may have just put too much thought into that, my bad. Whoops!

Haha I put too much thought into it myself. Thanks for the help!
