NORMALLY, AN EXPERIENCED OFFICER REQUIRES THREE MONTHS ON-THE-JOB TRAINING PLUS ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME ON SHIFT BEFORE HE IS READY TO COPE, WITHOUT STRONG SUPPORT OR SUPERVISION, WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS CONNECTED WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT. MR. HICKS JOINED THE UNIT ON 5 JUNE, COMPLETED A SHORTENED OJT PERIOD AND HAS BEEN ON SHIFT ONLY SINCE LATE SUMMER. HE HAS APPLIED HIMSELF WITH DILIGENCE TO LEARNING THE PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES OF TD DISSEMINATIONS FROM CABLED FIELD INFORMATION REPORTS. ALTHOUGH EXPERIENCED OPERATIONALLY, HE HAS QUITE NATURALLY LACKED THE DETAILED KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS JOB REQUIRES. HE HAS MADE VERY GRATIFYING PROGRESS, BUT HE STILL MUST MASTER KNOWLEDGE IN DEPTH PECULIAR TO THE IW FUNCTION; WHILE I HAVE NO DOUBTS THAT HE CAN HANDLE ROUTINE DISSEMINATION MATTERS WITHOUT MUCH DIFFICULTY, AND SOME "PROBLEM" DISSEMINATION CASES, HE HAS YET TO MEET A REAL CRISIS SITUATION WHEN HE IS ON DUTY BY HIMSELF. I THINK HE HAS MOVED FROM ADEQUACY OF PERFORMANCE TO PROFICIENCY--IT BEING VERY DIFFICULT TO DRAW A LINE BETWEEN THE TWO--AND HE IS LARGELY BEYOND THE POINT WHERE HE NEEDS CLOSE SUPERVISION. HE WILL PROBABLY BE A STRONG OFFICER GIVEN TIME. HE HAS ADAPTED WELL TO THE PRESSURES OF THIS ASSIGNMENT AND APPEARS TO HAVE THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STAMINA TO WITHSTAND ITS RIGORS. HE IS EXTREMELY CONSCIENTIOUS AND VERY ACCOMMODATING IN ACCEPTING SCHEDULE CHANGES NECESSITATED BY THE ILLNESS OR ABSENCE OF HIS FELLOW OFFICERS. HE GETS ALONG WELL WITH CABLE SECRETARIAT PERSONNEL, WITH WHOM IW MUST WORK VERY CLOSELY, BECAUSE OF AN OUTGOING AND FRIENDLY PERSONALITY. HE RESPONDS WELL TO DIRECTION. I AM SURE THAT HIS COOPERATIVE ATTITUDE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE SMOOTH OPERATION OF THE OFFICE. THIS ASSIGNMENT CARRIES NO SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES AND DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY SIGNIFICANT DEMONSTRATION OF COST CONSCIOUSNESS.SECTION DCERTIFICATION AND COMMENTS1.
