All officers can be categorized by 2 paired attributes: energetic/lazy and
smart/stupid.
The energetic/smart officer is often referred to as "high speed, low drag".
They are the hard chargers who will either go far or screw up spectacularly.
A commander is lucky to have such an officer as long as they can control them
just enough to keep then from crashing and burning.
The lazy/smart officer is a pearl of great price. They will never try to make
anything happen that is not already on their plate UNLESS they spot a problem
that might make their life more difficult. They will nip such problems in the
bud. Every job they have will be easier when they leave that it was when they
arrived.
The lazy/stupid officer can be useful for the routine jobs that aren't very
demanding but still need to be done. Put them under the supervision of an experienced
and competent sergeant.
The energetic/stupid officer is a viper at the breast of any command. They mean
well. Catastrophe follows in their wake. They will volunteer for a suicide mission.
Find one for them.
