Makes sense. How often is one lucky enough to come across a man who is fully functional, programmed in multiple techniques, and who doesn't cheat or fart in bed?
But O'Brien is THE MYSTERIOUS NONOFFICER OFFICER WITH NO DISCERNABLE RANK WHO GETS INCLUDED IN THINGS LIKE HE'S AN OFFICER BUT GETS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HIGHER-UPS LIKE HE'S NOT.
He clearly had officer rank in TNG, then not in DS9.
I suspect he was impersenateing an officer in TNG, and did it so well that when they found out, they just promoted him to Cheif Petty Officer (or whatever he was) when he was on DS9.
I thought he was enlisted, which meant he got into Starfleet without going through the academy. That must piss off all the academy brats. Just like Wesley who got to steer the ship because the Captain fancied his mum, and Bashir who was born a retard.
