Say what you will about Starfleet but DS9 tells me the Academy was making tenure-track hires in the middle of a full scale invasion

Sure, agreed. I would just expect a state of total war to adjust a service academy's confident posture vis a vis hires expected to start "after the war ends"
The reverse, actually: you need a pipeline to turn midshipmen into ensigns and commanders into captains, so you are going to hoover up all of the talent you can find for the purpose.

This was actually, by the by, a real difference between the US military in WWII and German or Japanese militaries: the USA generally prioritized training and rotating experienced personnel (esp. pilots) back into training positions.

During WWII, also the Navy and the Army between them practically commandeered something like 300 colleges nationwide to train some 325,000 individuals (typically with technical skills or languages) as junior officers.
