An officer with a high degree of intelligence and one who is capable of hard consciestions work. Was posted here as a Naviagation Instructor, and he is a good one - but owing to shortage of 2nd Pilots for overseas, was employed in that capacity. He is an officer who gets results by solid work rather than personality and might better be led than a leader.
