NOAA Corp deck officers? Why does NOAA refuse to hire people already trained for the job?

No one is saying NOAA shouldn’t be around. More that the NOAA Corp officers should be focused on their science rather than spending time training to navigate ships and then doing a deck officer job. Seems like a waste of resources spending time to train scientists to do a job rather than put them to work in a scientific capacity that they already have the education for.
