Now for either a blue ribbon of a question or a dunce cap, whichever comes first in merit.
What demon actually possessed Pavel Young to make him seek a career in the navy?
1) He was a complete and absolute coward, and showed no aptitude for the career whatsoever.
2) He didn't display any of the patriotic baggage that would normally accompany anyone else that would make them want to attempt to overcome their natural fear and cowardice to enlist. I saw absolutely no motivation either way that would serve to push Young to risk his body for the navy.
3) Why didn't he have his father use his influence to acquire a desk job, which although would be worse for the navy would seem to be better suited for Young?
4) How did he pass the rigorous physical training? He didn't strike me as the physical type. And I once thought that you had to become proficient in hand to hand combat but Wanderman proved that isn't so.
5) Then there is the Crusher. I cannot see him passing all aspects of the Crusher, although cronyism and nepotism would ease him pass some aspects of it, it seems that other areas would - where obvious to everyone else around him that he stinks - serve to dishearten them. But I cannot see him making it to that stage without naturally washing out. Unless he didn't have to "dress out" for "gym class" ever.
6) I simply do not see what would possess a coward of an aristocratic, gold-pressed spoon-fed loftily born arrogant, selfish above board, condescending coward of a brat to want to join a career that would place him in harm's way. Missiles are not prejudiced nor controlled by the North Hollow files.
7) Why didn't he see the military as being beneath him - a menial, baseborn job inappropriate for the loftily born?
Psychologists would kill each other contemplating Young or either end up on their own couches.
