PART III - MANNER OF PERFORMANCE (Read paragraph 21c, AR 623-105) 15. RATER In the beginning, CPT Countryman experienced difficulty in adjusting to full-time military life, however, he has shown a very definite improvement during this rated period. It is felt that part of the problem initially was lack of confidence in himself to perform his duties to the satisfaction of his superiors which resulted in many cases in lack of action causing the results to be unsatisfactory. Now when shortcomings con- cerning himself or his unit are brought to his attention he immediately takes correc- tion action. He has improved his unit from an unsatisfactory unit on CMII inspections to a satisfactory status. CPT Countryman has demonstrated he works well with projects connected with Special Services type work. He presents an outstanding appearance, mixes well, and is very socially inclined. I feel he has improved so significantly dur- ing this rated period he should be considered for retention on active duty upon comple- tion of his present commitment. SPECIAL HANDLING REQUIRED

16. INDORSER ☐ I AM UNABLE TO EVALUATE THIS OFFICER FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON: CPT Countryman has shown a definite improvement in performance of duty during the past few months. He has begun to take the initiative whenever discrepancies are dis- covered in his unit and install procedures which will prevent their recurrence. His unit has improved significantly in overall proficiency to the point that it is consider- ed a satisfactory unit as compared to the unsatisfactory rating for the first few months he was commanding. CPT Countryman is a reserve officer who has never been on active duty and he does not possess the experience necessary to function efficiency as a Captain in the U.S. Army. However, CPT Countryman has made great strides in adjusting to and adapting to Army life in the past few months, and he has shown an awareness [guess: and continuing] the responsibilities and the functions of an Army officer. I feel that if he [guess: continues] to improve and apply himself, as he has in the past few months, he should [guess: be retained] on active duty after completion of his present commitment.
