Bio says he's a fighter pilot. Weird.

More correctly, he is a Fighter RIO. That's two anchors on his wings, not one.
Wow. Got to see the good Admiral when he came to address our wardroom. A fine man and Naval Officer. And now he passes the torch.

One wonders how you would be able to discern that.

Well, it's a pretty simple process. Otto made an assumption that anyone could make and decided to use it as his original, interesting idea. It's a common practice among people who, instead of just listening, try to add their two cents to a conversation dominated by at least nickels. In the above case, he assumes (and I'm not going to question it either) that the VADM is a fine man and Naval Officer based on the fact that he has come so far with such success, and because he said nice things to Otto's wardroom, where the comment was likely spoken by those with a bit more experience.
