unfortunately, there is some practical truth in this Navy evaluation - Lawrence would definitely failed (ie. wouldn't complete them on-time and according to SOP) most of the assignments in the Navy or military in general.

That would simply be an indication that he was not suited for applying to the Navy. I find that many people who suck and fail at something may truly suck at whatever it is, but they're actually quite awesome at something else. The sad thing is that most people don't know how to find their path and even fewer people know how to set people on the right path where they can achieve their potential.

Don't worry - he ends up doing the right thing in the end. Read the book, though, it's full of good stuff like that.
