Canon questions. Do we know winona's last name? Do we know what track George followed? Pilot or navigator? So I know that Jim was command track but if he'd ended up first officer, what would he have been? Like Spock is the science officer so what would kirk have been?

Help me flist, you're my only hope.

No maiden name for Winona in canon or fanon that I know of.

As for George, based on Number One, Sulu and Chekov all being in command gold tunics and later becoming first officers and captains, it looks like helm and navigation are included in the command track. So most command school grads probably serve on the bridge as helm or navigation, as they work their way up the chain of command. So George could well have been both the XO and helm officer (like Number One). Gary Mitchell was Jim's first pick for Exec, and he was Navigation in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" I think.

It isn't until TNG that the XO even has his own chair on the bridge, because Spock and Number One sat either at the science station or helm, there was no story reason explaining what's standard operating procedure for First Officers (they didn't need to explain, since Spock was the only XO we ever saw on the bridge in TOS).
