I think this is going to be a "hesitant yes" from me. I have a few things to add from personal experience and I'll try not to make it too long winded. I'll start with the negative first, since I like to end on positive notes:
In a very recent round on Goon 4, I was the Captain, and for most of the round, there were only two Sec Assistants, who I assumed were newer players. We had one traitor that poisoned me, but I survived due to one of the Sec Assistants finding me. Said traitor broke into places, set people on fire, had somehow gotten a gun and nearly killed the two sec assistants. He then got access to the bridge, and called us all there to talk, and Bob had just joined near the end of the round. Bob said he would handle it, and as Captain I thought it best to leave it to him. Both myself and the sec assistants informed Bob of all the many crimes he was witnessed doing and the near deaths he had caused. Bob then proceeds to have a calm discussion with the traitor, on the bridge. With all the witness testimony given, I think at least this discussion should have taken place out of a sensitive area, as well as a more guarded posture, given all that happened. During discussion, the traitor set me on fire nearly killing me, which then Bob proceeded to arrest him. What I'm saying here is that might be too lenient. Since I've been getting into security recently, I realize it's a very tough line to walk, and you can easily be accused of "doing nothing" or being too harsh, and you did join the round late. I also realize it could merely be a difference in play style. I hope you don't exactly take this as a criticism, but merely some feedback from the Captain that was terrorized most of the round and trying to do the best for his crew.
Now for the positive. I can say that all of my interactions with Bob have been wonderful, as well as great RP. Knowledgeable, attentive, courteous and respectful is everything you want in an officer and HoS. I think the grounded attitude, professionalism, and coolness under pressure I've seen Bob display would make him great for the job. As someone just trying out the security job, I'd love to shadow someone like Bob to pick up some tips and pointers.
All that said, it's a +1 from me. Also as I said, please don't take the negative part as criticism, but more as feedback. I apologize for the long winded post and hope all this was helpful.
