15. RATER During the short period of time that I have observed Captain Countryman, he has exhibited very few qualities that are desired of an officer. He is a personable in- dividual who makes friends easily and willingly participates in official and semioff- icial social functions. He has shown on many occasions that he accepts statements from subordinates as complete fact and truth, without sufficient verification. This resulted in deficiencies on the Annual General Inspection, which were outlined as deficiencies previous to the AGI. Captain Countryman, upon assuming command of the 142d Military Police Company, was properly counseled by the reviewing officer and the rating officer. During the period of time covered by this report, it has been neces- sary for further counseling by the rating, indorsing and reviewing officer, which has produced no noticeable results. He has not been able to realize and accept the respon- sibilities which are required for his position and grade. Unless there is a subsequent decided improvement in Captain Cou[ntryman], [STAMP OBSCURES TEXT] extension of his present tour of active duty.

16. INDORSER [ ] I AM UNABLE TO EVALUATE THIS OFFICER FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON: I concur with the remarks and rating given by the rating officer. Captain Countryman has failed to produce and has not established that he can produce. He is outwardly aware of what must be done, acknowledges same but fails to follow through. His behavior pattern while off duty in terms of the company with which he had associated until counseled, left much to be desired and was not conductive to establishing himself as an officer leader. Officer's performance and development should be closely monitor- ed in terms of retention beyond this tour.
