Captain,
I feel the need to express my significant concern regarding the newest recruit I have been assigned, Sergei Belov. The Belov boy is extremely intelligent and shows great physical potential. However, I am not sure he is the right choice for our program. He is only fourteen, and that is way too young. Furthermore, his psychological profile doesn’t match our requirements. In plain terms, he is a protector. He is also not a naturally violent individual, and I am not sure how wise it is to proceed. I think he should either be reassigned to another unit or returned to the youth correctional facility he was taken from.
