Other ways to become an officer?

[kronette.livejournal.com]

Pretty much what it says on the tin. We saw Lister try to become a chef to outrank Rimmer, but would he have been an officer?

What other postings on Red Dwarf would be officer status besides navigation officer? What other exams could be taken?

Will Lister be an officer if he passes his mechanical engineering exams?

These questions and many others will be answered in the next episode of...Soap! Er...wrong show...

I kind of liked how they mentioned Kochanski's ex was a chef, so there's a bit of a psychological undertone. (Whereas Kochanski was a navigation officer - which iirc, is what Rimmer wants to be...)

Yes, I think that's an example of Doug (by himself at this point) retconning something in a way which makes sense psychologically and doesn't clash with our previous knowledge. Credit where it's due. :)
