Encl: (1) Transcripts of portions of representative fitness reports
1. I received reference (a) on 25 October 1949 notifying me that my
temporary appointment as lieutenant would terminate on 31 December 19490
2. Reference (b) published the policy for the priority.of reversion
of temporary officers and asserted that it was highly desirable t hat
r educt ions be effected on a logical basis, considering both the best
interests of t he service and the most equitabl e consideration of the
temporary officers concerned. Paragraph 2(d) stated that temporary
officers, permanent commissioned warrant, would be reverted in ascending
order of r etirement dat es.
3.
Aft er r eceipt of reference (a), I have made a careful examination
of my correspondence and fitness report files in the Bureau of Naval
Personnel.
Mat er ial of a possibly adverse nature was disclosed by
this examination in that an officer 's fitness report dated 29 February
1948 was checked in the unfavorable box and was signed by Captain J.
C. Cronin, USN, then Commander Utility Wings, Pacific. A partial
transcript thereof is appended hereto as Exhibit "A" of Enclosure (1).
This was my first report from this command and covered the period from
23 October 1947 to 29 February 1948. I was transferred from the com­
mand on 1 July 1948 and a transcript of section 12 of my· next and final
fitness r eport from Captain Cronin is appended hereto as Exhibit 11Bn
of Enclosure (1).
4. The balance of all my fitness reports have ranged from above average
to superior and, almost without exception, have recommended retention
in temporary rank, transfer to regular commissioned rank, and promotion
when el igible. Exhibits "C" through "G" to Enclosure (1) are submitted
as being truly representative of my fitness as an officerQ
