Do you feel the dialogue is, at times, unfitting of military/science personnel?

Anxiety can have an effect on professional competence and common or not it isn't the best platform to be making critical decisions from. Tilly is cringe worthy.
The dialogue and language that offends me more than anything, is the incomprehensible technobabble, to waffle our way out of a dire situation
Each incarnation of Trek is guilty of this, TNG and Voyager the worst, but Discovery is getting there.
Also, much as I like Tilly, there's no fucking way she'd be allowed to spout some of the shite she spouts in crucial situations on the Bridge in any serious quasi military service.

Nope, no Starfleet officer would ever freak out...
except when they do.

It's T.V. No one on any t.v show speaks as someone in real life would. If i had a dollar for every time i've seen a character ending a phone call without saying good bye, i'd be a retiring on a warm sunny island in my beach front mansion.
I just realized he looks like Don Draper...
... just about the last person who anyone would want on a recruitment poster.
Honestly I don't get the bitching about the technobabble. I get the gist of every bit of technobabble they are discussing. And unlike the clunky strung together babble of TNG and Voyager, the babble in Disco actually appears to be related to what the characters are discussing instead of seeming to be seemingly random strings of word salad that the Berman era shows used as boilerplate.
And at least when they use technobabble here it sounds like people talking to each other, instead of the actors slowly enunciating their babble blocks so that three year olds can follow along as was done in the 90s.

What are you? Wound up toy soldiers? Don’t you know when your dying? Watch and regulations…what does it all mean?
One of my most favorite songs for oh so many a conversation ender.
(does pleasant rage quitting ever really work?)
I believe I stole it straight from your playbook!
Well then, stand by to receive the rest of my multitude of apropos melody's for all BBS occasions.
The data is about the size of that contained in the Red Sphere circa. 2257.
Do you have a thumb-drive about the size of the Australian Outback to hold it?
Give us a Tilly & Georgiou episode. Heck partner them in the Section 31 series and get some Farscape writers. Watch hilarity ensue.
The Orville is close to perfection, if someone needs a good picture of the modern military.
But I will allow myself to stop here. Some people just get too nervous and insufferable if someone brings The Orville to the Discovery discussion...
Bortus was smoking on the bridge and wasn't he allowed to continue?It's hilarious but hardly realistic to military service. Also there was that elephant looking dude who kept eating his lunch at his station etc.. The Orville is about as realistic to the military as Star Trek is.
The Orville is a TNG "homage". TNG is pretty much the *least* military of all the Trek series.
Well, I didn't say 'perfection', I said 'close to perfection'. After all, it's a space opera with weird aliens and humorous element.
Anyway,
He was caught by the security chief, immediately reported to the superior commander and asked to leave.
There's nothing unusual about officer eating at his station.
Depends on the station of course.

You obviously aren't talking about the Discovery crew. They don't look like trained astronauts or military personnel. More like a wild bunch of pressed civilians, nepotistic kids, shady mercenaries, psychopathic murderers, enemy spies, Nazi cannibals, resurrected zombies, foreign renegades, war criminals, convicted felons, broken victims of Dr. Mengele, pardoned mutineers, traitors, impostors and mentally challenged people.
Oh wait
That's exactly what they are.
