    The first time we hear Neelix say “Well, hello Mister armed intruder” we’ll either learn it was a surprisingly smart choice, or we’ll need a new chief of security.

    He does wear a red dicky under his smock, so I think he counts as a red shirt.

      Neelix may have seemed like a bumbling fool, but yeah, he would be a solid choice as security officer. He had years of training under Tuvok, and actually ran point on quite a few of the stranger episodes in the later half of the series.

      He rescued the crew a handful of times. So yeah. Neelix is a solid choice for security chief.

      He’d perform there far better than as a diplomat. It seems like half the major conflicts the Voyager got into were because of Neelix. The rest were squarely on Janeway.
