11. HAVE YOU ANY ADVERSE COMMENTS TO MAKE REGARDING THIS OFFICER'S QUALITIES OR PERFORMANCE? HAS HE ANY MENTAL OR MORAL WEAKNESS WHICH ADVERSELY AFFECTS HIS EFFICIENCY?	Lt. Newhouse possesses a sound grasp of area and service wide photographic supply procedures and has been of great assistance in furthering the policies and instructions of the Chief of the U. S. Naval Photographic Service. He is a mature officer of good judgement with a high order of devotion to duty. Performance of his collateral duties has been uniformly efficient. His personal and military character is excellent and he is recommended for retention of his present temporary rank and for promotion when eligible.
12. Give in this space a clear, concise appraisal of the officer reported on and his performance of duty, including any worthy of special mention. Include recommendations as to promotion. Any state-ments of unsatisfactory performance, ability, character, or conduct must be referred to the officer for statement. Statements of a constructive nature which refer to minor imperfections or lack of qualifications do not constitute an unsatisfactory report. For example: "This officer was a little slow in getting started but is now making good progress" or "This officer is well qualified in his present duties but has had no experience at sea" would not be unsatisfactory in nature.
