I reckon Mac's probably "missed" an appointment or two with the counselor by now.  Feel free to have him paged if you like... or... if you dare... I forget which one applies here.

...it's always fun when Mac and Bob run into each other. I always find myself imagining myself in the place of other crewman "overhearing" the conversations between these two:
"What the heck did he just say?"
"Pssshh! I dunno! What the heck did he just say?"
"Darned if I know... both of their darn translators must be broken..."
"Do you think he knows what he said?"

Stardate:04.10.2368
USS Discovery - Deck 8: Battle Bridge – 08:50
=/\=Now hear this,=/\= Captain Blair’s voice sounded over the shipwide com, =/\= As of 0845 this morning, Kelsey Porter Gavison has been promoted to the rank of Captain, on the authority of Admiral Thomas Wellenburg, and will immediately assume the command of the USS Charon. On behalf of the entire crew of the USS Discovery, I wish to extend him our gratitude for his exemplary service, and we send our warmest wishes for the safety and success of his future endeavors.=/\=
The announcement had stopped Lt MacTavish in his tracks as he strode back towards the TAC Office to ready himself for the forthcoming briefing with his officers and the ENG crew. He knew, especially tied to the starbase as the Discovery was, that finding a secluded spot in which he could deal with his thoughts on the matter would be hard to find and, so, since the Battle Bridge was often unoccupied except in those circumstances which required it’s use, he took a detour from his planned route and now found himself sitting in the Command Chair of the darkened, secondary bridge. Despite the fact that Kel more than deserved his own command and, of course, despite the fact that MacTavish and Commander… Cap’n… Gavison had had their differences over the years; this was not an announcement about which Jack was terribly enthused. He glowered at the blank viewscreen for a long moment before absently lifting his coffee and swallowing a mouthful.
Tha’s jus’ Charlie’s knickers then, innit? he snarled inwardly, Finally manage tae find an XO tha’s no’ wailin’ fer me court-martial ever’ three blinkin’ days an’, look, th’ sheepshagger goes off an’ gets ‘is own bloody boat! A faint grin played on his lips as the coffee cup tipped away; ‘e bloody-well desairves it… He sat motionless in the dim, red glow of the Battle Bridge’s lights for a moment, pleased for and proud of Commander Gavison’s promotion but, at the same time, more than a bit fretful as to who might be replacing the man he’d come to respect more than any other First Officer he had served under in his entire career… an’ quite poss’bly th’ only one wi’ whom I’ve ne’er come tae blows…
He took another sip of his coffee as his gaze finally broke from the darkened viewscreen and fixed on the LCARS console built into the arm of the command chair. Before Counselor Arevaci had been reassigned to an Intrepid Class ship a year ago, the man had managed to convince Mac that, if the TAC officer wasn’t comfortable sharing his inner feelings with people, he might glean the same benefits if he were to keep a personal log. Mac had balked at the idea, at first – “Ye’ll nae convince me ta go keepin’ a diary, Counselor, any more than yer like tae see me tend’rly strokin’ a wee kitty an’ weepin’ o’er Betazoid melodrama!” – but, at Chris’s insistence (and Chan’s agreement) that having an outlet aside from flying off the handle might be a good not only for him but his career, as well, Jack had eventually given it a try. Both Chan and Chris had told him, after he had finally relented and recorded his first few awkward entries, that the process had made a noticeable difference and, as much as he hated to admit it, Mac had to agree… Aye, he murmured as his finger flicked over the terminal…
Personal Log: Jack MacTavish Stardate: 45305.2
=/\= I’m no’ bloody-well sure where ta begin… Noah’s jus’ announced tha’ Kel’s been giv’n ‘is own command; Cap’n Gavison - USS Charon - she’s a Saber class, I b’lieve, which means Kel’ll be runnin’ more tactical cruises’s opposed tae the sort ‘e’s grown accustm’d tae abaird Discovery… Sherry an’ their wee daught’r will no’ be joinin’ ‘im abaird th’ Charon, either, bless ‘em. Let’s ‘ope tha’ ye dinnae miss too vera much o’ th’ lass’s growin’ years, aye? Green grow th’ rushes, laddy… green grow th’ rushes… *sigh*
There’s been nae waird on Kel’s replacement which, I s’pose, troobles me a bit more’n Cap’n Gavison leavin’. I’ve no’ ‘ad th’ best record o’ bein’ agreeable wi’ many o’ me superiors until I come abaird this fine vessel an’ I dinnae partic’larly look fairward tae ‘avin’ tae break en a new one… Per’aps, whoe’er et es’ll be ‘alf th’ XO Kel was, aye? *chuff*… An’ per’aps, Jackie-boy, ye’ll mind yer mooth an’ no’ set a burr en ‘is britches ere ‘e’s been abaird a week, aye?
*long pause*
Seem’s th’ fam’ly’s changed a fair sight inna last four years… Avanti… Mali… Raines… Tuvar… Kel… Doc White…
*sigh*
… Chan…
End bloody log…. =/\=
…Jack reclined in the chair, indulged in a long swallow of coffee, and then restrained a frustrated sigh as he blinked at the dark, featureless wall before him.
“I do miss ye, me bonny apple-blossom,” he said in scarcely more than a whisper, “but I promise ye I’ll do me vera best no’ tae take et oot on yer egghaids, aye?”
“Enough o’ pessin’ me kilt,” he rumbled, hauling himself out of the chair and striding for the hatch, “there’s wairk tae be done…”

There's another good idea!
What about some sort of "quarterly newsletter" kind of thing? Just a little "here's what's been going on and/or what's coming up at the Inn" kind of thing... those of us who are here regularly would likely know those kind of things, of course, but it might be a nifty little thing for our more sporadic Innmates to receive a couple of times a year and might even inspire them to pop in on a more regular basis.

Subject: Answers some more...
DM - Assuming your newly-pipped ensign missed the ship due to it leaving ahead of schedule and not because she was 'lolligaggin aboot' the folks responsible for your reassignment would likely be Starfleet Command or Tactical Command.
GiGi - Your level of access to personnel files would likely be pretty far reaching (possibly even exceeding the level specified by rank) although I'd imagine any "classified" entries would still be "off limits" without justification and/or the Captain's approval. Your office would likely be on Deck 6 (Deanna Troi's was on Deck 6 right across from the transporter room)... again, though, since starships are "modular" and "configurable" your office could be almost anywhere you'd like it to be.

Great posts, everyone! I'm lovin' it.
Ion - First off; what Meri said.  Feel free to crank out the briefing uninterrupted if you wish and we can have TAC and/or ENG personnel toss questions in with backposts or whatever. If you prefer the coordinate via PM and tack up a single post tack, though, I'm perfectly fine working that way as well. Secondly, "Hemlos Cocoa?" Somebody's been researching! Fantabulous, mate!
DB - If Clint hollers "Yeehaw" when we jump to Warp Speed...

...cool! Lt Flipper!
Not sure if the cetaceans actually get ranks or not... can't find it referenced anywhere, to be honest, just says that they're "crew"... Even if they don't get rank "officially", though, I don't suppose there's anything that says they can't get names like Lt Aqua, Petty Officer Sponge Bob, etc.

Subject: I'll nae let any holes get poked in yer ship, Commander.
Stardate: 04.10.2368
USS Discovery - Forward Torpedo Bay – 0813
“Yeah,” Kennedy responded to his question about the loadout, “We’re replacing every single warhead. Hopefully I can get it all done before we are due to head out.”
“I’ve got some ‘ands I c’n lend ye if ye find yerself taxed, Commander,” Jack offered, nodding at her assessment before glancing over his shoulder at Mueller.
“Lieutenant.”
“Ping Ascencio and have her get a detail together,” Jeff said, the CTOs unspoken request already interpreted, “On it, Mac.” The aCTO turned on his heel, then, and tapped his combadge as he jandered towards the portal. By the time he stepped out into the corridor he had passed the orders to Mac’s acting TAC/ENG Liaison, PO1 Angel Asencio, and had been assured by the woman that a detail of torpedo support personnel would be available to Commander Kennedy within the half-hour.
((OOC: Probably about 5 to 10 “support specialists” available to you, Commander… use them as you will. ))
“You run into, Warsong,” Kennedy asked as Mueller ambled out, “Warhammer…War… War-something-or-other on the way out? My new Ensign…”
“Ye mean Ensign Skippy,” Mac replied, being able to only recall passing the one engineering ensign, “Aye.”
Kennedy rolled her eyes; “I’ve tasked him with doing out briefing.”
“Grand,” MacTavish smirked around the rim of his coffee cup, “I s’pose ‘s long as the lad does no’ break oot inta song er dance Flight o’ the Bumblebee, I’ll no’ quibble. I’ve told me lads tae expect tha’ briefin’ by no later than ten-hundr’d hours.”
Satisfied that the type 6 was going to be all it had been advertised to be, he turned to leave without another word. He had begun to think he would make it all the way back to deck 8 without her exacting a little retribution for having harped on her about fondling the torpedo…
“Oh… and for the record…” Callie called before he was within half a dozen steps of the doorway, “I’d prefer it if your trigger happy little fingers were busy keeping us out of danger instead of having to use one of these. I know you got some built up tension right now, but don’t let my ship get hurt because you miss kissing your little bonny lass… got me? If you’re good maybe I’ll talk the captain into letting you fire one at some space trash.”
The TAC officer didn’t so much as look back. He did, however, let a grin form on his lips and raised a hand in some semblance of a wave as he disappeared into the corridor; “Aye, sair.”

Subject: Oi! Dinnae go slobberin' onna ordnance!
Stardate: 2368.04.10
USS Discovery - Forward Torpedo Launch Bay, Deck 25 – 0810
Having narrowly avoided the Engineering Ensign who had just practically skipped out into the corridor, Lt MacTavish was still scowling as the doors to the Forward Bay whooshed away before him. “High grav’ty world, my arse,” he growled in response to Mueller’s defense of the man’s bouncy step, “th’ lad’s fargin’ human as yew are an’ ‘e was skippin’! Next theng ye know, there’ll be a bloody May-pole onna Bridge!”
“Maybe, Mac,” Mueller snickered, “all I was saying, though, is that there’s nothing wrong with being enthused about…”
“Shaddap, Jeffery!”
“Shutting up, Boss.”
Been tied tae th’ blinkin’ Starbase fer too long, MacTavish fumed as he spied Lt Cmdr Kennedy half-buried in one of the new torpedoes, Too much free time an’ no’ enough wairk tae keep people from prancin’ aboot like wee blinkin’ faeries!
As Mac drew nearer, it was easy to tell that the CEO had her music turned up and was, so far, oblivious to the fact he and Mueller had entered – the occasional lyric half-sung under her breath, the random dip of a knee or tapping of a foot as a guitar riff or some other ‘clatter-bang’ noise wailed in her ear… Jus’ as she was inna Academy, the TAC Officer mused, prob’ly fondlin’ th’ circuits, ’s well…
As if to confirm his suspicions, he heard Callie draw in a long, slow, almost ecstatic breath and, as her face came into view, he could see her smiling that blissful smile that she always got when she ‘appreciated’ fine engineering. One corner of his mouth quirked up in the beginnings of an amused grin as he drew up just short of her; “Commander Kennedy?”
The blissful smile on Kennedy’s face morphed into one of mild embarrassment in the half-second of fumbling she had in reaction to his voice and her cheeks flushed a bit, too, as she looked up at him, clearing her throat as she motioned him closer. “Mac,” she grinned somewhat sheepishly, “well, as I said, I got her open. Want to take a look?”
“Aye,” Mac smirked, a fairly mirthful spark in his eye as he approached, “unless we’d be int’ruptin’ er sommat. Lt Mueller an’ meself c’n come back en a wee bit ef th’ two of ye’d like tae be alone.”
((OOC: Like I have to prompt for a response… ))
The CTO almost allowed a chuckle to escape as he came to a stop next to his old Academy friend and joined her in surveying the components inside the casing of the Type 6. “Fer th’ luv o’ heather an’ haggis,” he nodded as his gaze swept from the sustainer engine modules installed at the rear of the casing and tracked each components connection to the guidance processors and detonator modules just forward of the cryogenically stabilized reactants of the warhead, “tha’s a theng o’ beauty.
We’ve received a full loadout o’ these, aye?”

...there are whales.
On pp. 44-45 of the ST:TNG Technical Manual, it is stated that guidance and navigation research is conducted by a cetacean crew of twelve Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus gilli), overseen by two Takaya's Whales (Orcinus orca takayai).

Subject: Answers...
Starfleet Academy is a four year program and is typically attended after college.
Also, cadets aren't assigned to a particular department (Command, Operations, Tactical, Science, etc), rather they are required to study all areas and, upon graduation, are typically assigned to a department in which they excelled on their first tour. So, technically, no a cadet can't switch from command to ops because they're not really in a particular dept to begin with. Can a person change career fields from Command to Ops while in service? Yes but it typically takes intervention of some sort from a superior.

Subject: Regarding Cetaceans...
It's not "canon" per se but the chatter and concept art for Star Trek Online is kind of hinting that "Cetacean Ops" might be located on Deck 7 of a Galaxy class. *shrugs* I reckon, though, what with ships being modular as they are, the Discovery's dolphin exchange could be most anywhere we see fit to put it, aye?
Check this link for some pretty cool concept art for the dolphin tank from Star Trek Online. Image 19 on the page.
