Like most things with regard to reports, it all comes down to the calibre of the reporting officer.
Fair point. One FS was happy where he was and said just give me 3s boss. I made him write his own report and guess what - the bugger couldn't do less than 4s and 5s. Thoroughly deserved a warrant IMHO based on his personna and also a brilliant OOA report. Sadly I probably only gave him a first class write-up, if you see what I mean.
