1. J. O’Neill could be a fine officer one day if he would get his head out of his ass. The cadet has an attitude the size of the state of Colorado. It will either get him killed or decorated. Contrary to my belief, the Air Force has a sense of humor. He is being recruited to the Special Operations forces. God help us all.
Up yours! You died with your head up a sergeant’s bung hole. He had a heart attack inflagrante delicto on base no less. But the guy weighed so much you couldn’t roll out from under him. That’s how they found you, covered in human waste when his sphincter relaxed. Don’t ask, don’t tell didn’t work, ya think?
2. The captain has the uncanny ability to anger the enemy to distraction with his inappropriate sarcasm. Declaring the warlord in question to have a lower IQ than his dog, since the dog would come when he called, the captain cold cocked the warlord in front of his men. He then dragged his unconscious commanding officer, Major Doogood, to safety, during a hail of automatic weapons fire. The Captain then proceeded to neutralize enemy combatants using his skills as a sniper. The Captain severed each man’s trigger finger from a distance of fifty yards. He then strung said trigger fingers into an amulet he wears under his BDUs for effect. In the field he is known to pull them out and play eenie meenie minee moe with them to intimidate captured hostiles during interrogations. Therefore I am recommending him for a Distinguished Service Award and a psychiatric evaluation.
Didn’t anyone teach you about gaining a psychological advantage, you desk bound pansy? You should have seen the look on your face when I put them in the pot for the weekly poker game. I knew right then you were holding your dick in your hands, not a pair.
3.
Because Major O’Neill never leaves a man behind, he solved a serious security breach at the CIA. On the mission behind Soviet lines, the major managed to rescue another airman while also stealing the Soviet research. Only one person could have sold out that information. Deliberate misinformation that could come from only one source was in that report. Single handedly O'Neill saved countless lives by providing the identity of Robert Hansen, enabling us to bring him to justice.
I knew he was one arrogant S.O.B. I had met the guy at a security briefing three months before. The spooks at Headquarters thought that asshole walked on water. I could have told them he wasn’t all he appeared to be. In my line of work, you just know. Someday they'll make a movie of the week out of it.
4. Colonel O’Neill is recommended for the incursion through the alien device. His son died from wounds sustained by O’Neill’s negligence. The man is so suicidal he volunteered knowing it was probably a one way ticket. The psychiatrists claim he is sufficiently reliable and remorseful that he will detonate the bomb to ensure both our security and his own death.
You got that right. But you didn’t know the half of it. Turned out, the mission actually saved my life. I’ve made amends for the past nine years. God will judge me later.
5. Despite the numerous marks for insubordination, Colonel O’Neill is the most effective officer I have ever had the occasion to command. I don’t know of anyone else who could cobble together a team of such disparate temperaments and backgrounds into the effective flagship team it has become. The loyalty and trust show by his team translates to the rest of the field units under this command. Therefore, it is my recommendation that he be groomed to succeed me. This base could want no finer commander.
Damn, George! I never saw that coming. D’oh!

#4 is *so* cold. Sounds just like West...
#5 - isn't that obvious? D'oh, indeed! LOL

I don't know where I got #2 from. I must be playing too much iPod Texas Hold 'em.

Have instructed First Lieutenant O'Neill that "for crying out loud" is not an appropriate way to address a superior officer.
2. Colonel Michaels, 1982
Captain O'Neill is an excellent candidate for the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Frankly, sirs, he reminds me of myself.
3. General West, 1995
He still stands like the soldier that left, but something cold melted away on that desert planet. Perhaps that's for the best.
4. General Bauer, 2000
Col. Jack O'Neill is the most insubordinate officer I've ever had in a command. That he's ascended this far is beyond reason.
5. General Hammond, 2003
It has been an honor to serve with him. He is an exemplary officer and a good friend, and the first person I would trust with the continued operation of Stargate Command.

1. Bright and capable, but a bit of a wise-ass. Promising.
2. Strong leadership skills; not quite strong enough at following orders. My opinion is that this will improve with time.
3. Served with merit, wounded in action twice, showed tremendous bravery and resourcefulness in escaping from the enemy. Letters of commendation on file.
4. The Air Force has lost a good man today. I would have asked him to hold his resignation back for a while longer, but the effect that his family tragedy has had on him makes him unfit to lead other men into dangerous situations.
5. Colonel O’Neill and his team have saved the planet. Again. Strongest recommendation that his name be moved up to the top of the list for promotion. His accomplishments and heroism far outweigh any putative acts of insubordination or petty political squabbles.

#4 is a truly excellent take on what happened. I love your phrasing. Wow.
