He also lacks even a modicum of wisdom, despite being surrounded by wise role models. He almost destroyed the Enterprise twice, and he wasn’t even a real member of the crew. When he went to the academy he got some other kids killed because of his lack of wisdom. I get that he’s a kid, and kids make dumb decisions, but Wes made some very large adult sized mistakes.
To be fair that is also because the ‘wise role models’ accepted him as part of the crew and let him make those mistakes. You can’t fault the kid who jumps at that kind of opportunity and lets it get it to his head a bit. Going back to school when your cool wise role models let you fly a real starship must be tedious.
