I asked, wondering if Quinteros had been a counselor in a previous assignment.

In her previous assignment as captain of a small science vessel, Picard knew, she hadn't had many.

She had finally told Carlos that she'd contracted a serious venereal disease on her previous assignment.

He served as Gideon's first officer on his previous assignment as well.

Apparently she was of rather limited utility in her previous assignment.

I served with one of them on my previous assignment.

While the Trend fund was smaller than her previous assignment, the move had echoes of the family heritage.

After all, this was the first time he'd ever heard the captain reminisce about his previous assignments.

Those who do not pass the selection phase are returned to their previous assignments and unlikely to be able to try again in the future.

And that was what marked it as different from his previous assignment.
