They get a few hours of computer simulations and are sent to the fleet for OJT.
Couple that with standards radically lowered to accommodate the “diversity uber alles” mindset, and you get OODs who can’t con a ship safely. If they were fired for cause a month before the collisions, the COs would have been charged with bigotry etc, so the skippers just cross their fingers and hope a collision (or worse) won’t occur.
