Watch Captain Specialty and Comman Pre-Req

By Yuri03, in Deathwatch Rules Questions

So, Watch Captain requires the Marine to have Command +20, which I can understand, but why on earth is Command, Command +10, and Command +20 part of the Advances available? I was thinking of either dropping the Command +20 pre-req (though that makes little sense) or switching out the Advances for something else. Anyone have ideas?

It has been brought up repeatedly and iirc you are supposed to ignore the command advances on the captain's table.
