Today was a very important day for Tibby: he received his first ever official training assignment. See, here he is standing guard. Alfredo is checking to make sure he's doing okay; he was keeping an eye out more or less the entire time.
Now, of course security detail is not Tibby's projected career path. He is slated for a career in diplomacy, and since he has the best of credentials (yes, I know it's a Republic, but imperial blood does still open some doors) and the beginnings of an excellent record, he's likely to end up where he wants to be. But everyone has to start somewhere, and the Republic takes seriously the idea that its fledglings ought to be familiar with as many of the different roles played by its personnel as possible, especially if they're headed for an elite career. Guard duty is a very typical first assignment.
