That makes me wonder, what does it mean to be a NATO officer, and is that how he would describe himself? Or would he be an officer of country X who is assigned to NATO duties at the time? Like, does he wear a NATO uniform? Or the uniform of his nationality? Are you in your countries military org chart and NATO's, or just NATO's? Or does NATO even have an independent org chart or officer hierarchy? Are there units permanently dedicated to NATO service, or is it just mapped on to national units in an ad hoc manner when needed?

The TSA stops and frisks little old ladies, who have no chance of being a terrorist, so they can be politically correct.
My father when travelling in the US gets pulled out for random searches 4 out of 5 times when boarding. I would think a grey haired suited Scandinavian businessman in his 60ies is less likely search candidate by looks. But our family name has a stem that may seem middle Eastern for some who does not know that is is clearly a Scandinavian name (ends in -sen). I put that down to poor profiling logic.
When another cousin when in the US also started to get pulled for 'random' searches on every flight then it got rather comical as he was a high ranked NATO officer at the time.
