And here are some
more extracts from army ACRs:
- This officer has an excellent expression, he can express one
sentence in two paragraphs.
- His
fiancee wants to marry an officer & a gentleman, she may have to commit
bigamy.
- This officer respects age only when it is bottled.
- He makes the best use of his sahayak & is fond of wearing new OGs.
On a bad report of a 2IC by the CO the Bde Cdr wrote, "I do not agree with the CO, this is a case of clash of personalities"
The GOC wrote, "I do not agree with the Bde Cdr, this cannot be a case of clash of personalities because neither has any!"
