Nay, he'd have to mess up far worse than that to get sacked, besides he created a lot of paper for the high ranking clerks in the system so he was probably deemed valuable for that as well.
He was a nice chap actually, allthough suffering from a nearly total lack of humor, and poorly developed social antennas.
He never gave us reason to complaint, he never made life miserable for us, in fact he made our day on more than that occation.
He was just the type of officer who's born and raised with the sole intention of sitting behind a desk somewhere and never be around actual people.
