Seems Mark is going to need to earn his division respect and show them why he was appoint their head.
Chris is clearly a maverick and I do feel sorry for the engineers under him who are expose to classic rock. Could see that be a flash point further down the line.
Still only Hank could gets his officer around for a game of “Putt Putt Golfâ€, still nice to see Bethany can get away with assaulting her captain, I expect Mark to have said something still the fun atmosphere is only add to by Hank explain why not to call him Henry. ;-)

Oh yes, one more thing, there seems to be an inordinate amount of grinning going around. To the point where visions of clowns and crazy people are coming to mind, maybe these senior staff have much to smile about but grinning so much feels a little OTT. It is like they are on drugs or something, though I can excuse Bethany for this because she is trying so hard to fit and is pretending so hard to be enthusiastic that I cannot wait to see her façade falter and to see what emotional turmoil lies underneath...
So, just a little niggling point I want to bring up, other than that this story is proceeding quite nicely!

I'm glad to see the ending of the Dominion war hasn't thawed some Starfleet officer's opinions of the Cardassians. It seems pretty clear that some had a harder war than others, and those people may quite legitimately feel that the Cardassians deserved everything that happened to them during the final stages of the Dominion war. So that is a nice little realistic touch; lingering resentments to certain races.
Another realistic aspect are the hidden tensions between the Walker brothers, who seem amicable and friendly on the outside, but if anyone is going to snap I think it's Chris. Also I can understand Chris' consternation at having the talent but not so much the experience so that officers can respect him. They all think he is a jerk or something when so far Chris appears to be quite level.
So these extra nuances are working quite well!

Ha...I like the story about Hank's name!
But mainly...wow, it kinda seemed like Fulton was blowing off the Dominion's attempt to exterminate the Cardassian race. He's lucky my Spirodopoulos isn't serving on the ship with him or there seriously could've been an altercation right there.

What a reason not to be called Henry. Nice bonding exercise to boot.
Some interpersonnel issues for our Walker brothers to contend with. One brings some of it upon himself and the other by virtue of the a wonder kid tag.
Oh and awkward moment in the briefing. Way to put the cat among the pigeons Fullon.
