Wouldn't that be something if Cruise were Cadet or Ensign Gary Mitchell? Or even an older, higher-ranked version of Gary considering Cruise is no longer THAT young looking?

There is probably no actor in the world I would hate more to show up in a Star Trek movie!
Well Tom Cruise did visit the set for a day.

And since Tom has been rumored as a *possible* surprise cameo since the day we learned his buddy J.J. was directing the movie? This would be something super badass along the lines of his role in TROPIC THUNDER. A surprise to most if not everyone, and worth seeing.

My childhood, she has been raped again!
I was thinking Earth Starfleet became the UFP Starfleet after the Federation Charter was signed, so I lumped T'Pol in that group. Still, she could've still served in Starfleet after the charter was signed, but thats neither here nor there.
On a side note, IMO it would have been awesome to see the early days of the Federation, maybe during the 2160-2200 period, on the small screen in some capacity.
i think she is a member by the fourth season.
as for the uniform issue.
yeah i would have rather seen her either in the uniform or an adaptation that later becomes the new uniform..
we actually in american history had people from else where who came and fought as part of the amrerican army in well not standard uniforms.
but nerys point is that once the federation came into being it became rechartered.

I was thinking the exact same thing the other night, purely by chance. Not sure I'd want it, but at least we would get Mitchell that way.

I've a feeling Gary Mitchell has been forgotten
Alt. Kirk as drunk and living it up at the Riverside casino when those events were supposed to be happening.
Alternate Gary ends up making best friends with a dude who won't one day bury him under a giant boulder on a distant planet.
I think it might be like the United States Service Academies were more "senior" students assist in instructing the junior ones.
In the TOS timeline Kirk was a lieutenant and student instructor while still at the Academy...sometime around 2253 or 2254, just before graduation. That means he was probably already a lieutenant like Saavik when he first boarded the Farragut on his first deep space assignment.
It's a little confused.
Dialogue from "Court Martial" specifically establishes that Kirk's service (at the rank of Ensign) on the Republic would have to have preceded his tenure as instructor at the Academy -- active starship duty (though perhaps not classified as "deep space"), then returned to take the instructor's post.
Dialogue also establishes ("Obsession") that the Farragut was Lieutenant Kirk's first deep-space assignment and his first after graduating from the Academy. (Using the U.S. Naval Academy as a model, a graduating Cadet would receive an Ensign's commission.) There's already conflicting information long before J.J. & Co. enter the picture, even if Garrovick had also been Kirk's commanding officer on the Republic, a detail never established anywhere.
So is Spock an upperclassman/instructor or a commissioned officer returned to take an instructor's post? Beats the shit outta me. I'll have to wait and see whether it's explained.
We do not speak of this!!!!!!
i still like the idea kirk was sent back to be an instructor at the academy after the farragutt incident.
remember kirk himself was injured during the incident.
he also came out of it with a commendation.
so he gets to go back home to the academy to teach and recover for awhile.
people back there believe him to be very brave while inside kirk is blaming himself for the death of his captain and so many of his crew mates.
due to everything that happened he is far more subdued person then before.
it will take new adventures ect for the kirk personality to come back.
it gives an even better reason why gary would have been trying to set jim up then to just distract him from his duties as an instructor.
maybe gary believed it would help bring back some of the former kirk bravado he may have heard about at the academy.
