She probably spent little if any time at the Academy. Perhaps a short OCS course at best. Her four years on Voyager and time in the Rangers was probably all the "training" needed.

Weird, it was on Crave.
Everyone else could see it fine in this thread. Check your TV settings.
No you got it wrong, Jurati took the Confederation Timeline La Sirena, not the Prime Timeline La Sirena.
You can even see the Prime La Sirena in the fleet in the Season 2 finale.
I could have done without Raffi to be honest. I like Michelle Hurd in other things, but I've never liked Raffi, especially after all the meandering the character went through in Season 2. But, she's part of 'Picard', so it's alright. I don't have to like every character. I don't think I like every character in any Star Trek series.
The Dominion War is a generation past at this point. Plenty of time to fill in the gaps naturally as more people enter the service and new ships are built to replace those that were lost.
I think Seven would be given some 'credit' for her time aboard Voyager, and maybe some more with Picard and Janeway's backing. But I still see an issue with her serving as a high ranking officer having not been through SF academy training or 'paying her dues' on the lower decks. It's TV, though, so sky's the limit.
I know I don't.
Except there was another attack. Plus, with a war as big as the Dominion one, and the terrible toll it took on the foundations of Federation society perhaps enlistment was harder to come by.
I'm admittedly fuzzy on the canon post-DS9. What was the other big war after the Dominion War?
Do you honestly think that he is a racist who is bullying her?
Not a war. The attack on Mars.
Another point particular to Seven is that she was Borg well after the time the Collective had started assimilating Starfleet personnel, including Locutus. If you subscribe to the theory that the Collective knows everything its assimilated parts know, then technically speaking Seven has attended Starfleet Academy and served various careers in various positions completely vicariously, including Picard's.
Ahh. That didn't result in losses on the scale of the Dominion War though, did it? I need to go back and rewatch S1 of Picard again at some point.
I think it killed 90,000 or so people so for a terrorist attack it was pretty horrific but, yeah, by Dominion War battle standards it was a quiet day on the frontlines.
It's the level or loss but how it impacted public attitude of joining Starfleet, especially on the heals of a horrible war.
Raffi’s story this episode was apparently entirely on M’Talas Prime, starting in District 6 and ending in District 7.
Raffi mentioned tracking items stolen from Daystrom, so I think it was implied the weapon was stolen from them. The Instagram logs appear to hint that a later plot point shown in trailers is also related to Daystrom.
So far, yes. But the question is, does she have the right to chose her own name and ask that others respect that choice? Even if it makes people uncomfortable. Do you think that all people of German and Japanese descent should have changed their names after WWII? Or people with Arabic names after 911? All because others might get "uncomfortable"? That seems to be the idea you're pushing.
After Icheb was vivisected, she should have changed her name back to Anika.
There are a few German names that have earned retirement for directing the hollocaust, but the Japanese are fine.
I thought about Shaw. I think he clearly just hates 'Starfleet Celebrities'. There's probably more than a few people in Starfleet who do.
I can imagine that having probably had to slowly climb the ladder towards captaincy himself that he'd resent having just such a celebrity retired admiral foist a celebrity friend (barely out of the academy) onto him as an XO.
I think he's just not impressed by all the adventuring bullshit and doesn't want any part of it. I see deadnaming, but equally I see someone who just wants a first officer, not 'the legendary X-B who rode back in Voyager all the way from the Delta Quadrant'. Hence Commander Hansen instead of Commander Seven.

Chakotay was too boring to hate, I think.
Why should she? The Borg didn't kill him, He was killed because he was a Borg.
But your proposal is for all designations to be changed not just "a few". Yes? Any name is a reminder so change them all!
