Timeline Question Regarding Jack R. Crusher

[Warped1]

So, from everything I've read...
Jack R. Crusher graduated Starfleet Academy in 2327.
Beverly Howard attended Starfleet Academy from 2342 to 2350 during which she attended medical school.
While attending the academy, she became romantically involved with fellow cadet Jack Crusher.
If he graduated he wouldn't be a cadet and certainly not 15 years later!!

I don't think Bev met Jack in the academy. Picard's friend Walker Keel introduced them in the 2340s.

 

[Warped1]

Also, she married Jack in 2348.
She got pregnant and had Wesley in 2349.
Wow, all of this while she was attending both the academy and medical school!

I'm not saying Jack was "in the academy", but it says he was a "fellow cadet". He graduated 15 years before meeting her.

Ok, so apparently Wiki and other sites have the wrong info.....
Jack R. Crusher was serving as an officer under Picard on the Stargazer when he met Beverly sometime in the 2340's.

Yeah, he was Picard's friend before he was hers. If they were fellow cadets at the same time, he might have been going back for further training.

That one's easy: It's the 24th century. After four hundred years, human blobby brain and brain what is brain things/development have evolved, allowing them to do all that, juggle ten dishes plus two porcupines simultaneously*, and even learn basic calculus by age 10.

^They're virtually astronauts, & a good number of them are also accomplished musical instrumentalists as well. Clearly there's been some advancement in what average human accomplishments are attainable.

Oh, that's very true, but it's fun to be partially sarcastic over claims of the future and biological improvements. It's still a lovely theory, and look at humanity over the last few centuries. It took the understanding of math to get to inventions like the transistor and cavemen 80,000 years ago didn't even know "ug" and "grunt" meant, much less understanding what a barber does or what the word was. There's a reason or two I support the dialogue in "When the Bough Breaks" when they have li'l Harry whining about basic calculus.

They've changed cannon when it comes to Jack R Crusher. It used to seem that he was a lot younger than Picard, roughly the same age as Beverly and he was just a guy that served under Picard on the Stargazer and that's where they became friends. Take for example the message he recorded for Wesley right after he was born in 2248, Jack was obviously not in his mid 40s as Picard would have been at the time. Picard was born in 2304 and for Jack to go to the academy with Picard he would have to have been born around the same time. Plus, the fact that we've never once heard about Jack being at the Academy with Picard.
