Of course, the "new guy" on each episode of combat had about as much chance of surviving to the end as did the new "security guy" who beamed down to the planet's surface with Capt. Kirk and Mr. Spock - along with Uhruh, that Russian ensign, Scotty, and Sulu - the whole command structure of the Enterprise.
