No wonder I don't like it

That was a rather silly conceit of the show. There's no reason to believe, for example, that the Klingons would only attack when humans think it's supposed to be "daytime."

In fact Beverly is quite bad ass she is in command of the Enterprise when it was under attack from the renegade Borg ship in fact she actually destroys the ship i Descent part 1&2

Yes but that was also in the daytime. She was in command because Picard, Riker, Data, Geordi, etc were away.

You think she would have been in command if Picard, Riker, Data, or Geordi was there?

Sure. You go on thinking that.

The others have more experience, more seniority, and would have been in command if they were there. That's all it is, not about gender.

Have you forgotten that Lieutenant Monroe - female - was in command at the start of TNG "Disaster" when Picard left the bridge? Lt. Commander Troi was only assumed to be "in command" after lower-ranked Monroe was killed. And since Troi had not, at that point, passed the bridge officer qualifications, she probably shouldn't have been in the command position at all. That was really just Because Plot, Because Drama, etc. If Ro - likely the most qualified on the bridge at that point - had been in command, we saw that her idea was to separate the ship and leave the others behind.

For that matter, it's never really been shown that Beverly had any rank at all. She was never Lieutenant, or Commander, or anything. Just Doctor. Arguably they never should have shown her being in command to start with.

Fact is Beverly was better at command than Riker she managed to keep the Enterprise in one piece and defeated a Borg ship by using technology mentioned in a previous episode .

She commanded the USS Pasteur a hospital /medical Starship which was shown in TNG 's finale All Good Things although that may have been een alternate time line.

Of course it was an alternate - Q-Invented, really - timeline. The Enterprise-D still existed, which it couldn't have since it was destroyed in "Generations."

Yeah that was the refurbished Enterprise D with the three nacels .God I hope at the end of season 2 of Picard Q just snaps his fingers and goes like enough of this nonsense and everything after All Good Things never happened and everything is restored .As far as I am concerned all things with TNG that happen after Generations take place in the Nexus-verse.

Also, there's no mention I can find, that Beverly ever attended Starfleet Academy. And there doesn't seem to be any way she could have risen to full-time command of even a medical ship, without that. In the episode "Family" it's mentioned that she and Jack Crusher probably got married while Beverly was in medical school. No mention of anything else. Without Starfleet Academy, I doubt she could have been in even temporary command of the Enterprise, even if she had somehow taken and passed the bridge-officer qualifications. (Which I still say is basically claptrap nonsense. How long would it take before everyone knew that passing the test required you to holo-order your holo-friend to their holo-death? It would rather quickly become meaningless. Even moreso than Kobyashi Maru which everyone DID know about. But there was no way to "pass" it so knowing didn't matter.) There would be no reason for anyone who hadn't graduated from the Academy to even have the chance to take it.

Grace Hopper enlisted in the Navy Reserve and graduated from Midshipmen's School, basically a simpler or less-prestigious version of the Naval Academy. So she earned ranks in the appropriate manner. If you ever find any good evidence that Medical Doctor Beverly Crusher did anything similar, let me know. And while there were medical staff people who did go through Starfleet Academy to become officers, it wasn't required. See for example, Mr Tarses from TNG: The Drumhead:

PICARD: Well, tell me a little about yourself, Crewman. I know you were born on Mars Colony.

TARSES: Yes, sir. All my life I wanted to be in Starfleet. I went to the Academy's training programme for enlisted personnel. I took training as a medical technician and I served at several outposts. The day that I was posted to the Enterprise was the happiest day of my life.

PICARD: Did you ever consider applying to the Academy, going the whole route, apply to become an officer?

TARSES: My parents wanted me to. And then I thought about it. I used to sit under this big tree near the parade grounds

PICARD: An elm tree with a circular bench?

TARSES: Yes, that's the one.

PICARD: I spent many an hour there. It was my favourite spot to study.

TARSES: I used to sit under that tree and watch the drills, picture myself an officer. I know that it would have made my mother very happy, but.

PICARD: You didn't do it.

TARSES: No. I was eighteen, and eager. The last thing I wanted to do was spend four years sitting in classrooms. I wanted to be out there, travelling the stars. I didn't want to wait for anything. And now it's done, isn't it? My career in Starfleet is finished.

Indeed, many people on a starship, especially one with a lot of science labs and stuff, probably never went to Starfleet Academy. Including engineering people. From DS9, "Starship Down":

O'BRIEN: With all due respect, I think you're riding the men a bit hard. You have to understand, they're out of their element. They're not bridge officers, they haven't been to Starfleet Academy. They're engineers. They're used to being given a problem to solve, then going out and figuring out how to do it.

The POINT is MICHAEL also NEVER ATTENDS STAR FLEET ACADEMY yet was also ALLOWED to be THE FIRST OFFICER of the SHIP GEORGIOU was in COMMAND OF (before it gets DESTROYED).

Or maybe it was just more Because Plot etc BS claptrap nonsense.

Because STAR FLEET also considered the TRAINING she got at the VULCAN ACADEMY to be EQUAL to what one gets at STAR FLEET's ACADEMY.

Maybe. Maybe not.

And to become a DOCTOR, BEVERLY would also have needed TO ATTEND some kind of AN ACADEMY to get her MEDICAL TRAINING.

It's called MEDICAL SCHOOL. As was also mentioned in the TNG: Families episode previously cited. But that doesn't make you even a junior officer in Starfleet.

And whenever one is TRAINED in ANY SUBJECT, one is also REQUIRED to take MANY OTHER SUBJECTS in many other FIELDS of STUDY (which is also why BEVERLY would also have already had many of the OTHER COURSES CADETS would take).

Not in MEDICAL SCHOOL.

Even though my major was LIT, for example, I also had to take courses in PHILOSOPHY, SOCIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY, BIOLOGY, LANGUAGES, etc. etc. etc.

Right, because this is the 23rd century.

So that's also the reason why BEVERLY wouldn't NEED to REPEAT TAKING the SAME COURSES again (due to her already having taken similar one's before when she was ATTENDING whatever place she went to for her MEDICAL CAREER).

Starfleet Academy would be more like Grad School. You don't take English 101 again in Grad School.

A friend also has his PHD in PARTICLE PHYSICS, but the DIPLOMA itself also says he has a PHD in PHILOSOPHY (due to the way he was also required to take the SAME COURSES as I did as an UNDER GRADUATE).

Then as a GRADUATE one also begins to SPECIALIZE MORE in the FIELD of STUDY one choses to PURSUE.

Again, because this is the 23rd Century and Starfleet Academy is just another option down the street.

And some places (like the UNIVERSITY I attended also FORCE you to CHOSE MORE than just ONE FIELD of study to PURSUE which is also why one would end up with an INTERDISCIPLINARY DEGREE). And JAZDIA is also someone who has MORE than just ONE DEGREE. And EZRI DAX also had a DEGREE in PSYCHOLOGY like DEANNA had.

So that's WHY having BEVERLY attending the STAR FLEET ACADEMY would be REDUNDANT.

Medical School != Starfleet Academy. In Starfleet Academy they teach other things.

Because it would also be like sending her to ELEMENTARY SCHOOL where one learns the ALPHABET so one can also learn how to WRITE or CREATE SENTENCES.

Repeating the same nonsense doesn't make it become correct.

In other words, WHAT you SUGGEST by insisting that BEVERLY needs to go to the STAR FLEET ACADEMY is also PRETTY SILLY.

I didn't say she needed to go to Starfleet Academy to be a DOCTOR. I said she needed to go to Starfleet Academy to become a STARFLEET OFFICER, including a Commander, a Bridge Officer, and later Captain Of Her Own Ship.

Didn't Picard Jack and Beverly meet at the Academy?

Memory Alpha ;

Beverly attended Starfleet Academy from 2342 to 2350. (TNG: "Conundrum") During her training, she earned her Doctor of Medicine. (TNG: "The Loss")

During this time, she became romantically involved with Jack Crusher after being introduced by their mutual friend, Walker Keel. (TNG: "Conspiracy") It took months for her to realize their attraction. (TNG: "The Price") The two were married in 2348 after Jack proposed to her through a gag gift, a book entitled How to Advance Your Career Through Marriage. (TNG: "Family")

Jack later served aboard the USS Stargazer under Picard, and the couple became good friends with the captain. Picard later admitted he had fallen in love with Beverly, but did not ever express his feelings because he felt that doing so would betray his friend. (TNG: "Attached")

Almost a year later, the Crushers welcomed a son, Wesley Crusher, in 2348. (TNG: "Coming of _Age")

After Beverly graduated in 2350, she interned with Dr. Dalen Quaice on Delos IV in 2352. (TNG: "Remember Me", "The Loss")

Jack died on an away mission while serving aboard the Stargazer in 2353, Picard having been forced to choose between saving another team member or his friend. Picard brought Jack's body home to the grieving Beverly and Wesley.
